new colours. i haven't seen them on a wintel machine, so if they're really hideous, well... too bad i guess.
i finally took that damn test this morning. i got to sleep about 1230 and slept fitfully until 630 when i dragged myself out of bed and into the shower. the test wasn't too bad. the sample essay writing part was inane. they make you write on a topic that you couldn't possibly have any less interest in. on top of which i can't spell to save my life without a spell checker. the other three parts, math, writing (basically revising poorly written essays), and reading were on the computer. i aced the reading and writing, 94 and 99 i believe. i did decently on the math, but it's been 10 years since i'd done some of that, so there was a lot that i just didn't remember. tomorrow morning i've got to go to this orientation session thing. and then i have to wait a couple of days for my essay score, see a counselor, convince them that i already know exactly what i want to take, and find out that all the courses i want are filled. okay, that's a little tongue-in-cheek, but it's really all too much bureaucracy. oh, and i still have to pay them for my troubles too.
driving home i had some really strong consumerist cravings. i felt like i had to buy something. a cd or two. an acoustic guitar. something. that's subsided a little. but i don't know if i'll be able to restrain myself if i go out again.
