My excitement for yesterday was buying a ticket to Greece! Whoo hoo! October 10-19 to the last major European destination I absolutely want to see (I mean, there are other places I'd like to go: Turkey, Scandanavia, Budapest, Moscow, to name a few). The unfortunate part was the ticket turned out to be really expensive (though I got a cheaper fare that I think wouldn't otherwise be available through a glitch in the airline's web page). So, once again, I'm going to be reduced to traveling like an ultra-poor student (which is about $20 per day cheaper than traveling like the poor 20-something I am). Things only look up because we got our "Christmas" bonuses yesterday, which is a nice little windfall.

I woke up this morning and my feet were sound asleep. My dog is a psycho. Usually Apache sleeps all night on my bathroom floor (on the tile). But she must have been cold or lonely or something. I think she spent all night sleeping on my bed (where she's not allowed without an "come on up") and on my feet. It was weird. It was cute. Just to have that experience in the surreal dreamlike state I'm usually in when I wake up.
