Finish a tube of chapstick before losing it (read all 2 entries…)

CRISIS 10 months ago

What happens when your chapstick gets all melty and sticks to the top of the cap (so when you pop the cap off, you end up with half your chapstick in the cap, and the other half still in the tube?)

Do you persevere and say “damn it all, I will use this raggedy tube of chapstick till its done, no matter what,” or do you just call it a day?

to think it was going so smoothly… :)

spend the next week frantically preparing/packing for school, and finally get the guts to contact my new roommates to see what they're bringing for the apartment

Phew. 10 months ago

I just sent off an email to my three new roommates, and I got one back almost immediately – the girl I’ll be sharing a bedroom with seems really friendly, so that’s a little bit of a load off my mind…

So. We’re on our way to resolving the Scary New Roommates Sitation.
I’m feeling good about that.
