Yesterday was kind of a bust. I went down to school to get my books for the new semester. Introduction to Electrodynamics and Modern Physics. Exciting titles. Really.

Well, after I shelled out $400 bucks on two books, a new bag, and some notebooks, I tried to get a transit card. Of course, they stopped selling transit cards for August on Monday, because it makes so much sense to quit selling cards the same day financial aid is posted. Sometimes, I really hate my school with a passion.

I spent the rest of the day camped out in the library, doing my best not to fall asleep. No easy task.

They also jacked the price up on everything this year. Transit cards, meal plans, tuition, fees. I feel sorry for the poor slobs who have to pay for parking. They're really getting boned.

On the plus side, we're apparently getting an Einstein Brothers Bagel shop, which means my choices for breakfast are no longer limited to crappy Burger King breakfast sandwiches, pancakes that have been sitting in a warmer for three hours, overcooked scrambled eggs, overcooked hash browns patties, greasy omelets, or something from the donut case.

On the writing front, I'm working on touching up Chapter 9 of Meredith MacKenzie and the Uruk Empire today, and will hopefully get Chapter 10 written tomorrow. Once I get through 10 and 11, I should be able to start bringing over entire chapters of material from the previous draft, so things should go along a lot more quickly. I'm still not going to finish by the end of the month, but hopefully I can have this back in an agent's hands by the start of October, and can move on to another project. I don't think I'm going to go back to We're Here To Help just yet. I might work on something else for a bit first, because the rewrite on Uruk has made me realize there are major structural issues with We're Here To Help, as well.
