My very exciting day

gin_tonicMy day began early, because I had to go to the doctor. But first of all I overslept. It was one of those 'just five minutes more' moments. Eeeevil. I won't give many details of the appointment, only that my blood pressure was 120/55 and that it wasn't pleasant - my doc is good, but ruthless. And I always tense up. Can't help it.
So afterwards my sister (whom I forced to go with me) and I went to the city (doc is on the other side of the river and not far away from what I call city ... and with city I mean the pedestrian streets for shopping) to by a mothers' day present (for those who forgot: It's on Sunday). We bought stuff from Butler's (no cooking stuff though) and will get flowers too tomorrow. Afterwards a quick visit to Esprit and to a good bookshop (nope, I didn't buy anything). And then *drumroll* Starbucks! My sister made me buy her a Banana Cream Frappuccino thing and I had my usual Caffé Mocha. Why am I telling you this? ... Ah, right, because I have no life. Afterwards I took the tram to the uni (did I mention how warm it is here?), sat down in the room where I usually have my lecture at 12 and waited. And waited. And waited. And the professor didn't come. I left along with the others eventually and was confronted with two problems: 1) What shall I do for nearly 2 hours when I only have my writing pad with me? and 2) How can I sit down anywhere outside when I'm wearing my pretty snow white skirt?
I decided to go back to the city and enter one of our big bookstores (where I grabbed the book I'm reading these days - which I hadn't with me, of course - and continued reading from where I stopped XD). Oneextremely long quick call at home confirmed the rumor that my professor was sick (he has really bad hay-fever and his eyes are so swollen that he can't see anything, the poor man). Then I came back and went to my linguistics seminar (English) and drove home again. And now I'm here. What an exciting day. As anyone really read the whole text? Anyway, I'm supposed to meet my father this evening (not alone though) and have a drink with him. Hooray. Yes, that was a very sarcastic hooray.
