I didn't really get to sleep in this morning because the dogs were being assholes. I took the opportunity to proofread my budget assignment, run on the elliptical, and take a shower. All before lunch. Not bad. After lunch I went with my mom to the education center so I could enroll for health insurance and she could get a new name badge. This is the first year we were eligible for health insurance (thank you, Obama) and originally I wasn't going to get it because the premiums for all of the options were more than I already pay. Then I found out that the board had voted and the district was going to cover the premium. So starting in October I'll be saving $250 a month and I am very much okay with that. While we were there I also took the opportunity to change my address, again, because apparently there was a typo last summer and I didn't realize it until this summer because I kept getting mail even with the typo. But that should all be resolved now.

After that we picked my sister up and we went to a couple different places to buy birdseed. It started to rain on the way and on the way back we actually had to pull into a parking lot because it was coming down so hard that it was difficult to see the road. It eventually cleared up enough that we were able to make it home.

I don't recall what I did before dinner but I think at some point I proofread my budget assignment again. And after dinner I had my mom proofread it, which was a wise choice because she caught a few things I had missed. I proofread it again a few hours later, changed a couple more things, and then I finally turned it in. I wanted to stop obsessing about it and put a nail in the summer semester. I am now free for almost two weeks. A mini summer vacation at last.

The rest of my night was spent finishing the second season of Arrow. I still like the show but I will admit I was getting a little tired of season two. Every single woman, except Felicity, and a few of the guys were repeatedly whiny bitches throughout the season. It was getting old. As were the flashbacks which were taking forever to get to the point. It was all beginning to feel like a soap opera, helped by all of the dramatic closeup shots of the actors staring slightly off camera. Not that I'm judging, but I'm glad I finished the season and I am hoping season three will take itself a little less seriously.

Now I am going to watch some of Conan because Ryan Reynolds is on and they're going to premiere the trailer for Deadpool. Yesterday they released a short trailer for the trailer and it was pretty good. It got me excited to see the actual trailer, which I have already seen because it was leaked after Comic-Con, but this will be the real thing, not a crappy cellphone video.
