Lessons learned today

1) if you need to iron something very quickly but don't have time to bust out the iron and board, a hair straightener works like duct tape on a broken window-- not really a permanent solution, but it gets the job done.

2) Pandora.com only allows you 40 hours of free music a month. I feel cheated. Unlimited free radio my ass.

3) I have learned more out of school than I ever did in school -- I never would have had time to start learning Japanese and definitely not digital painting if I were bogged down with homework.

4) walking around the block can end in a minor sunburn if you're really pale and live in a desert.

5) ALWAYS double check before you swing a bat at the heads of supposed "burglers." They just might be your lawn maintenance guys.

Sumimasen!
