the GRE is tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn (or 8:30, whichever). the last time i took it i had horrible, awful, no good very bad cramps that morning. that did not help. i'm afraid that tomorrow i'm going to be v. tired because of my doggies. ok, just the one, really. the beagle likes to howl during the night and it's becoming a bit disruptive. i don't think i've had a good night's sleep since we got him a couple of weeks ago. i'm trying to figure out how to get him to sleep through the night. on average, i'm having to get up about twice a night, every night, to try to make him stop barking (which is often futile). note to self: remember this if i ever think about having kids. i can imagine just putting a pillow over my head and going back to sleep. i'm nice like that.

other than that: i'm taking the bus to class today. that solves the parking problem and helps save some money...gas hit $3.00 a gallon here yesterday, and i'm trying to talk alvin into selling/trading in one of our cars to get a hybrid. he's not going for it just yet, probably because i want to trade in his car. only because my car is newer, and prettier, and more fuel effecient...and it belongs to moi...
