When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around...

That tune came over the airwaves today as I was driving home from class. It couldn't have come on a more appropriate day! I found a local doctor who will become a familiar face I'm sure. I agreed to sign the vaccine waiver after much consternation. I agreed to a tetanus booster and MMR serology testing, which their lab techs botched because my veins were in such bad shape.

At any rate, I turned in my papers to the University so hopefullly, I will not be dropped from my classes now or rather, I won't have to SUE the University for forcing me to do something harmful to my health!

The CVS pharmacist just rang me up and told me he finally got my prescription coverage to go through. Hooray!! Now, my $3000+ expense for meds will only be $43!!

Tonight Clyde Edgerton is giving a speech on campus with two other authors who co-wrote 'A Book of Dads'. This is part of the Creative Writing Department annual series of guest speakers of literary events. I plan on taking part in as many as I can. Mr. Edgerton is a professor here and I can't wait to hear him speak. He gave the 2009 commencement address and was hilarious. His latest book 'The Bible Salesman' was chosen by Oprah Winfrey as one of her summer reading series books.

I have lots of homework to get to so I will be signing off for now. I'm kinda glad this week is coming to an end!

And did ya know that Sting has a new album coming out this winter? Now that's something to look forward to!
