eve 6 - promise

i have a giant bruise on my ass.
every time i'm in the bleachers at work, i wonder "what would it be like if someone fell?" today, i found out! i slipped and slid down about five stairs before landing -hard- on the edge of the stair. i made lots of noise and scared the crap out of the people around me. it was funny, embarassing, and in some sick way, kind of fun.
so, the whole thing with jack fell through - he wasn't there when we got to his house. so instead we got some taco time and watched a movie at tuey's. it was still fun to drive around and stuff, but i'm sad. i wanted my gecko.
apparently the university of washington is doing a study where they offer birth control over the counter, instead of by prescription. i think it's a good idea - the person asking for birth control has to meet at least a few standards (health and such), but they don't have to pay the $$ for the whole doctor's examination and stuff. supposedly it'll help people who don't have enough money for the doctor's. and i support it. i'm also very proud of the university of washington hospital, which started the whole study. apparently they're also the guys responsible for the emergency contraceptive being available over-the-counter, too.
also. my dad pointed out to me that after living in california for a year, i wouldn't have to pay out of state tuition. so during the summer after freshman year i'd have to find a place to stay, find a job, all that. it sounds reasonable... if i find a college i'd want to go to.. i really need to do more research on this.
