Three more days of classes, three tests, one event at the house and then I am going home!!!
This weekend has had a few ups and downs, mostly ups, so thats good. Our party on Friday was awesome! It was a "hawaiian christmas" theme, so it was fun. I ran around with a mistletoe headband on, had a good (but not ridiculous) amount to drink and decided to go around and try to get everyone to kiss me or to kiss everyone that I knew. They were all on the cheek, but thats acceptable. Theres a guy that I have a little thing for in the frat, so after a few drinks I was obviously paying him special attention which he did not seem to mind. It would have been embarrassing save for the part where I was hugging and kissing everyone else too. So hey, success there.
Had a pretty significant hangover, which wasn't really expected, but thats ok. Its gone now. I had a ton of fun and thats what counts. It was a good ending to a stressful week, save for the part where I flaked out on clean up which may or may not get me in a bit of trouble. At this point, I really do not care, though. With winter break so close, nothing can bring me down.
In other news, I just got done sending an angry e-mail to my realtor. I got an email a few day ago that I owed a late fee on my rent. Its due on the first of every month and since I started living there I've gotten a statement delivered to me every time telling me how much I owe since its always different due to utility fees. This month, I did not get one so my roommate and I were confused. Furthermore, we got our energy bill and it had more than doubled since last month which is ridiculous. We did a little looking around the apartment and found that the sealing on our big windows is faulty and we have SOLID ICE inside our apartment and theres a draft blowing in. Thats why our heating cost so much. My roommate called maintenace twice and talked to three different people. The proceeded to not believe her and argue with her saying that "a little frost was to be expected and was no big deal". My roommate told them that she knew the difference between a littel frost and solid ice and that this was solid ice and that she wanted to someone to look at it. Finally, they agreed that if it was solid ice, that was a pretty significant problem and that they would send someone over in the next two hours to look at it. Three days later, no one has come.
So I emailed them and she is going to as well, saying that we believe the late fee was unfair as we were not warned that there would be no statement, and that we shouldn't have to pay the entire heating bill because of the faulty sealing. I also told them about the maintenance people not coming and that they were argumentative and that it was unacceptable that someone hadn't come. I told them that if it was not fixed and if our heating bill was that high again we were going to have a problem. Its ridiculous. I haven't told my parents yet, but if maintenance doesn't get out here tomorrow, I'm going to tell them and let daddy dearest have a little chat with them.
And now for an update on my to-do list:
- Journal/Sketchbook
- Italian messages
I'm almost done with the journal and the messages, so I'm almost there! Three more days then some studying and I'm outta here! :)

Good luck with your landlord. Solid ice- that's ridiculous!
The mistletoe was a great strategy. Very creative.
