Summer II Midpoint
current location: home
School:
Well, I'm halfway through the Summer II period of college classes. The Major American Authors midterm went fine, although I think I missed a few things because I could only remember the ways in which Hawthorne, Dickinson, and Thoreau broke with Puritan ideology. Then again, that was only one of the three short essay questions, so I think I'll probably come out okay.

Misadventures in Parcel Laundering:
Well, to get certain things to Borusa, I have to hold on to them for a few months. To ship things to me means shipping things to my friend who lives up the road, since certain things (such as inflatables) lead to confiscations, lectures, and a showcasing of the big penalty on Bluff checks that results from taking PDD:NOS/Asperger's at character creation.
Of course, even when things go right, you suddenly discover that you've received a Jets T. rex instead of the brachiosaurus, and since I wasn't able to inspect it carefully without opening it (box labeling was in black & white and appeared to be the older model) until mum went out this morning and my sister was upstairs with the door closed (I could only sneak it about half-out of the box and thus missed the fact that the clear mouth section was visible on the far end of the box), I thought it was the old-model design, so me and Borusa were getting plans together so a return could be made.
This, obviously, is probably going to result in some adjustment in plans. Borusa will probably wire over the difference in cash to Jets so we don't have to feel guilty about stiffing Jet Creations, and he'll probably re-order the brachiosaurus sometime in late July. This will save me from having to figure out some way of running the rex up to the post office without getting caught by my folks...but it will leave Borusa's commissions prepaid for, well...quite a while.
