it's so fucking cold in the house. i finally got a copy of my vocal solo for solo/ensemble today. the contest is a fucking month away. i think i'm going to bomb. or maybe i won't. because i can read that shit. just like a book. ((who needs a piano when you have perfect pitch?)) tomorrow night is my last weeknight at fleet farm until the middle of june. ( = [ ) but i get a raise. i've been there for six days less than six months. i had a pretty good review (one of the very few people there who has ever gotten an "exceeds expectations" rating on customer service...and on cooperation... ^-^). so now i'll be earning a nickel more than the last checker who got a raise. and it can go up if i "eliminate my late breaks." except i really don't have that many. they're trying to find excuses to not pay me as much as i work for. but oh well. i really miss michiko and su jin.
