Less than 24 hours

Last final is tomorrow morning, and needless to say my bags are packed (all save the lasts few items)--that one good thing about Latin--the finals never took up the total amount of allocated time. I can walk back home from the 8-10am final and still be on time for when my dad will arrive at 10. It is an option, and given the current week's weather, it's a very tempting option. Nevertheless I think I'll bike-- more time before the final, just in case the final's room got changed tonight and I don't get the annoucement until late tomorrow morning (has happened before, but thankfully it was for something else, not a final). Also, more time to make sure I haven't forgotten anything.

There's always something to forget, it seems. I sat in the living room with the two cats tumbling around (literally, given this particular afternoon) and went through my translations a second time because I keep forgetting the difference between the indicative and subjunctive (eram vs. essem). I forgot that 49 is a multiple of seven when we switched from base 6 to base 7 in the green house today, while randomizing the plant orders, and broke a beaker because I forgot that it was in the way when I had to swap the two pots. I have to remember to turn on the alarm tomorrow morning, because there'll be no one else's alarm. I must remember to bring along the charger for my phone even though I just charged it this afternoon. There're still dishes to wash, trash to take out, and litter boxes to change (I hope I remembered to tell the cat sitter everything. Maybe I better leave the contact information for myself and FFO somewhere noticeable. Must remember to tape sign to the door where the cat supplies are located.) I need to remember to take all the seedlings, because the roots are too short yet and they will die without consistent water for over three days (the parsley's died already--the water potential and pot depth did not suit it). Thoughts of tests still show up in my sleep but I can no longer remember why I did this one thing on this question but not on another question and right now it doesn't matter anymore. Oh well. I should wipe off the kitchen counter before I go, and throw away the dill because it's decomposing. The blinds can stay open though because by Monday I'll be home.

It's Wednesday, and three different people smiled at me today. They were very nice to me. Hmm...still at Davis.

The cats say 'hi'.

Spoke too soon. Annie left her alarm to go off at 6am. Had to go in to turn it off. Cats dogged every step of the way. I think they were confused.
