it's a sad, sad day....

I have come to the realization that I don't really want to write in this blog anymore. I mean, this has always been like a diary/record of events, but I am starting to forget about it and/or not really worry about writing my stuff down....I think I have less and less time, courtesy of Homer's Iliad and now the Odyssey. Alas! Maybe I'll get around to typing up more about the last week or so later....I'm making it an early night, so I'm off to watch a movie! Good Night!

PS - I am becoming more and more disconnected to the work!!! This is so bad!! Note to Self: Self, Get out there and read the newspaper!!! I didn't even realize that it was Colombus Day until almost after the fact! Geez, I have to work on this.....

i think my brain is fried...

ahhhhhhhhhhhh! today has been an interesting day.
the good news: i survived my first econ test (and i think i did ok on it too! knock on wood!)
the bad news: i have a paper due in less the 24 hours...and i don't know what i am going to write about! after many hours of procrastination and furiously wracking my brain, i am half way done...but i still need another 2+ pages and my brain is fried! i have nothing else to write about! i don't know what to do....darn these crazy writing prompts anyway. so, i decided to update my blog while sipping my nice watery hot chocolate in attempt to figure out what else i can put in my paper. i really hadn't meant to leave it this long...i really meant to start it sometime last week, only life, another paper, and a test got in the way. ah well.....
writing some more, oh fun oh joy!

i win! i win!

hey! i just got congratulated by my ra for something i didn't know about...so i went to check it out, and tis true. supposedly i won the KAOS (Killing As an Organized Sport) award for being the most elusive. I guess there were 6 hitmen after me before i was finally killed by someone after they attempted to climb through my ceiling (see earlier entry). what do you know! lol. it probably helped that i am a freshman, so most of the upperclassmen don't know who i am (yet), and the fact that i was out stalking joe all day (haha!!!)...but, hey! i'll take it. now i don't feel so bad about dying kinda soon in the game...yeah me! lol

One Crazy Week...

Hi all!
Well, this last week has been charity week – which I think I’ve explained multiple times before, so I won’t burden you with another explanation. Anyway, there are these crazy things called “tuck-ins” where you pay to have a friend tucked-in in some crazy, imaginative manor….so I thought I’d be cool and give my neighbors one. It turned out that it was a guy who sang Broadway songs in a very good voice. So, they retaliated by giving me one called “happy”. It turned out that 5 senior guys came in wearing really really weird costumes (see included picture) and (1) made me put on a horrendous tiger print coat for a “nightgown” & a cut off jean pant leg for a “nightcap”, (2) gave me a teddybear, (3) handed me a teddy bear, (4) brushed my teeth FOR ME, (5) made me drink down some soy milk, (6) taped my wrists & ankles together, (7) tied ribbons in my hair, (8) gave me a sorta massage from a guy who jumped out of a body bag, and (8) put vasoline on my face and toes…..it was quite an experience let me tell you!!!! Wow. My personal favorites were “The Serenading Stalkers” who sang a song about watching you sleep from right outside your window and “Two Crazy Doctors”, a urologist and a psychologist who tried to give my female friend a prostate exam among other things. Anywho, they were absolutely hilarious and lasted all week.
Ok, new paragraph. We also played KAOS (killing as an organized sport) with waterguns. I stalked my sophomore guy for about half a day, but didn’t kill him. Well, I did kill him, but according to the rules, since he knew the answer to the 1965 trivia question, he didn’t die. Unfortunately, the only reason that he knew the answer was become some incompetent SG person cut the answer off of my sheet and on to his – grrr. I also got him another time, but that also didn’t count though for a less annoying reason that he was eating in the cafĂ©. I hooked up with his roommate and hung out in his room all evening though, so he couldn’t get into his room for about 7 hours – that was great fun. Unfortunately, he kept sending someone in the see if I was still there before he would enter. Alas. I did have great fun watching him have to turn around and go out of his way because I was heading in his direction. Haha. I never killed him though, because sadly, I died before he did. I was feeling really crappy, so I took a nap. I woke up suddenly when I hear my roommate yell “Who the heck is climbing through our ceiling?” when she saw some fingers appear through the ceiling tiles. Totally confused, I went to the door, and was promptly shot by a hitman hired to kill me. I guess I should feel honored that whoever it was had to hire a hitman because they couldn’t find me (probably b/c I had been in Joe’s room all day. Lol).
Tuesday night, I went to the faculty talent show – and practically died of boredom – poetry reading etc. though the last three people were good (jokes and sing-a-longs). On Thursday and Friday, we could pay to have our teachers put in jail during the class period, and class would be cancelled. This was great fun, especially since many of the teachers try (and some succeed) to break out every year. The modern language department and my politics professor stink though, because they made us sit through class – grrrr. Saturday night was the official close of charity week with a semi-formal dance, which was much fun though a little rough on the feet. Lol. Afterwards a bunch of us went to Taco Cabana, a really yummy Mexican fast food place (way better than Taco Bell) for a couple hours and hung out…and had dance parties in the car. It was great. So now, it is nearing 3:20 am, and I really should be getting to bed soon….yeah. I should. But instead, I am writing this letter to all of you. So that was my week, and should you be interested, this is what I will be doing tomorrow…..cramming frantically for first Econ test on Monday, writing a Religion paper due Tuesday, while attempting not to procrastinate too much. Good times.
