Summer summer time! I want to go back to school already, haha. I'm not a fan of job searches or leisure time or the exercise I should be doing, and I always feel productive at SBC, even when I'm not really doing anything.
I do like hanging out with the friends I didn't talk to much during the year, though.
I want to start up Frisbee, but I don't want it to be as serious as it was last summer. Mostly I just want to do it old school style with Alyssa's crew and Kaleigh Maietta, who will never come back to America.
I also want to hang out with a bunch of my school friends, and am sad when I realize that most of them are across the country, let alone out of state.
My friend Keri at school got into a car accident and had to have part of her left leg amputated. Before I heard the news and only knew she was in ICU, I just kept saying to myself that she'll be fine because who else will I go snowboarding with next winter. I want her to be okay. I have her address at the hospital. I don't know what to send.

So I've been flipping channels for a bit now and and just stumbled upon Man-swers, a show that answers poignant questions that men would ask, or something else equally as mind-numbing. Apparently, however, after adjusting for size, hamsters can drink 50 times as much alcohol as humans. Too bad I didn't care.
Ummm, school has been kicking my ass a bit lately. 2 weeks ago I was making myself sick through not sleeping, eating, or exercising with the papers and exams I had, and now this week looks like it's going to be something of the same. I have 3 midterms between now and spring break, which is a bit daunting. I feel like I'm not going to be able to memorize everything that I need to for the next few days. My brain is not that big.
Right now I'm in Mount Vernon, VA in one of the sketchiest hotels I think I've ever occupied. There are weird marks and stains on the doors, the area around the hotel itself looks like an abandoned, diseased beach without water, and there are weird Mexican restaurants everywhere. And I can see a dialysis center from the room window. Ahhh. Um, I'm here for a talk about leadership at the real Mt. Vernon instead of going to class. Which is nice, but it's a 3-hour drive up here which is pretty inconvenient. Even though I didn't have to drive. I'm not a nice person.
I think that I neglect a lot of my friends when I have too much work to do. Which is unfortunate, but necessary. I wish people would realize that.
My roommate got a hamster. Her name is Genevieve and she annoys me every night when I try to fall asleep. She needs to be taught how to not chew on the metal bars of her cage, since that will get her nowhere.

I do love how I've been on break for over a month, but I'm ready to get back to classes. And will on Tuesday. I'm not looking forward to the drive whatsoever, though, especially with an extra person. They'll just have to deal with less space in my car since they could otherwise get their own rides.
I looove winter, and all the deliciously comfortable clothes associated. I'm skiing this weekend probably! I think it's going to be great.

I should be doing homework for my religion, microeconomics and film courses. Instead, I'm online. Stupid stupid stupid.
This weekend is longer due to our reading days. I'm going to have Thursday through Sunday off with nothing but homework to do and no one here to distract me. My roommie's going to DC, Kat and Catherine next door are both going home, as is Anna, and I'm not going to know what to do with myself. I'm hoping, with my lack of plans, that I get so bored I actually do my work. Lots of it.
What would suck would be using all that extra time this weekend to think. I'm not a fan of cognition right now. It's just not my friend.

The Briar is just as ridiculous as I remember it being.
3rd floor Reid (the only dorm without an elevator) will not be a poor choice unless I re-injure my leg and have to be on crutches again, though it makes doing laundry a bit of a hassle.
Stephanie is back and hasn't changed this summer. What has changed is our room size...it's now super large.
Having Kat next door keeps me prompt to everything, so I appreciate her a lot.
I'm getting along better with the people I didn't like at all last year, but we'll see how that continues as the year progresses.
I forgot how much drama there was on campus, and can't believe it's starting up again already. People only moved in YESTERDAY.
Soccer is not as hard as last year and while I'd like to think it's because I came into this pre-season in much better shape than last year, I'm pretty sure it's because Kevin is going really, really easy on us. Which I appreciate. 'Two practices a day' days end Wednesday. This is going to boost my nap time tremendously. Yeeees.
After working 4 hours a week for Kevin last semester, he's agreed to jump it to 10. I'm happy about this, even though that will mean making many more awkward recruiting phone calls.
Some freshman brought a Lotus to campus. That's right, I said a Lotus. For those of you who are not very car-inclined, like me: http://www.sportscardaily.com/images/lotus_exige_silver.jpg
Exactly. Everyone I talk to wants to find out who she is and either be her best friend or kick her in the face. What a poor way to display your wealth. God I hate rich people.
Classes start Thursday and my first soccer came is next Tuesday. I'm not excited for either.
Thus my life is updated.

So I recently learned that along with my crazy friend Lindsey who is definitely not coming back to SBC next year, my twin Molly and roommate Steph both probably aren't either.
If the planets align, next year is going to suck and I'm going to be miserable.

Saw Hairspray in New Haven tonight with D. It was excellent and gives me hope for spending my whole summer in CT! Less hope-instilling is this article: http://biz.yahoo.com/cnnm/080516/051608_gas_prices.html
which notes Connecticut as having the second highest gas prices in America after Alaska. Wtf.
I would like it to stop raining so I can start running again.

I'm not going to do any sort of retrospective first-year-at-college thing, but I will say that I'm happy with just about everything about this year and really do look forward to the next. Happy summer.

Wow I'm bored tonight. We have tornado warnings, it's thundering and lightening out hardcore right now, and all I want to do is curl up with Molly (or anyone, really) and watch a scary movie, of which I have none. Me and my decision to stay though graduation...I love it.

Say Anything |

While my night was relatively sucky, I day was better! My psychology presentation and paper both went better than expected, I'm actually interested in what we're doing in comparative politics (we're studying the politics of Chiner! I feel closer to Stephanie already! I'm also a bad person.), and while as a class Kasper was disappointed in our sociology exams, I got an 86 and she's curving them 8 points. Yay for stupid classmates who don't know how to do the flipping reading or take notes! I was scared when I got my exam back, though, since basically the entire first page was wrong (I apparently really suck at fill-in-the-blanks), but the rest of the five pages were nearly spotless. I'm exceptionally happy about this fact, and now I'm out of class and the rest of my day is a combination of relaxing reading for tomorrow, possibly a voter awareness party at 7 even though I'm not going to register to vote, so I'm not quite sure if I should go at all, but I think they mentioned free food... and hanging I think possibly with Luna tonight? Good day.
( 100 things you probably already know about me. That's right, I said one-hundred. Just skip this, I'm merely procrastinating. )

Oh an exceptionally lighter note than last time, I kicked ass on both my comparative politics and English midterms, and almost got stampeded (is that even right correct word? What's the past tense of "stampede?") by four loose horses the other morning while running by the barns. Helen and I, when moving past one of the pastures, were followed by a girl walking four horses up to the road who quickly broke free and almost ran us off the road. Good times. I felt like I was in The Lion King a little bit, though it was a lot less scary and lion-deathy. Because really? Horses = glue on legs.
...Just kidding.

While I realize that I'm getting up in a few hours to spend some quality shopping time with my mother and cousin, my mind apparently doesn't care. I sleep horribly every time I come home, which makes me worry about this summer. Three months of not sleeping will, indeed, make me want to die. But I'm hoping for the best.
Yaay for 2 a.m. shakes with Brian at the Diner!

I Want to Know Your Plans - Say Anything |

Okay, so for those of you reading this who aren't at the Briar...cough, Gina and Kelse, this week is Junior Week!
Essentially, this means that in order to 'earn' their senior robes, seniors secretly pick juniors and leave them instructions on how to dress up and act each day of the week leading up to Junior Banquet, where everyone reveals themselves. It's basically Halloween every day. I'm extremely fond of the costumes, since so far I've seen a volcano; a toilet; a hot-dog; Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy; Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan; Mr. Rogers; sperm; Baby Jesus, Mary Magdalene and Satan; Little Bo Peep and her lost sheep; William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe who verbally battled; basically everyone from Harry Potter; and finally an entire Quidditch match played in the lower quad this afternoon during lunch between Slytherin and Gryffindor (who won. Boo!). Girls are going all-out this week/year, I'm quite impressed. And thus, I'm going to continue really liking Junior week until I'm a junior, when I will probably hate my life and whoever my senior is. I'm willing to bet on this.
Last night was hilarious in the way that car-wrecks are sometimes hilarious when no one gets hurt. My roomie smoked waaaay too much with the girls next door (no, not those) and ended up getting really dizzy when she walked out into the hall. How did she interpret this dizziness? She thought she was on the sinking Titanic. No joke. She couldn't stand straight up because "the ship was slowly tipping sideways," thought the only safe places were our beds, couldn't breath due to all the water on the floor and started hyperventilating, and eventually failed for literally 4 minutes trying to get up to her bed (on the top bunk) because there was "water rushing in through the window" that was too strong and was consistently pushing her off the ladder.
I don't know what to do with this kid.
I can't wait for this weekend. Mostly because it leads to the last week of classes before vacation, but also because I just need some time to sleep and not do anything after few 4-hour nights. And the play is this weekend. And I'm visiting Becky tomorrow night (which is a tragedy, because we're both done with classes by 1 and Anya has practice until like 7) which should be good times. Though sans Lori, because she doesn't know how to study. Aww, Lori. I hope she comes back next year. I'd really like to play her again.
Anyone know any good books I should read? I'm trying to compile a list.
