Well Crap

[destabee]

I could be sitting on a beach somewhere this week. When Jill and I were making plans for data coding during spring break we were both assuming that Purdue campuses had break at the same time. My break is this week. Her break is next week. This means that she plans to work next week not this on data coding. The other things I was working around was an arthritis class that was to start tonight but it has been canceled.

I stayed in Indiana for NOTHING.
