Time...

So, because of my love of sleep, I missed our little shopping "excursion." Actually, I can't even really blame my sleeping in. My friend who was planning on basically leading the whole thing stayed up all night and left at 6 with other random people. I would've been completely useless that way, since I didn't sleep in until noon or one or whatever yesterday like pretty much everyone else did. I did manage to drag myself down to brunch today, which was at the only dining hall I had yet to visit. It seemed so weird.. It was actually in a place that felt like a dorm. And the food wasn't nearly as varied as my usual dining hall. Huh. Never thought anything would really make me appreciate BJ.

Today was so nice for just sitting around and doing nothing. But I do sort of wish I'd been able to go shopping downtown. I suppose there's always next year. It's sort of lonely here with so many people gone. I ended up feeling really homesick this afternoon, so I napped for about an hour in the papasan in front of the radiator, which was on for the first time today. We had no hot water or heat this morning, it was evil. And it's pretty much been snowing lightly all day, so there's a light covering of snow over all the cars parked across the street. One of the people here from Florida suggested a snowball fight, but I doubt it's the right kind of snow... plus there isn't nearly enough of it. I've decided I want a blizzard for my birthday, so I can rally together an army and we'll march on the other dorms, pelting the inhabitants with snowballs, until the whole thing eventually culminates in a battle royale on the quads, and then perhaps on to the administration. There are too many people here that haven't seen a blizzard. This ought to be a good winter for it, too, considering the summer we had. Unless the summer just sapped all the precipitation we had lined up for the year...

I wonder if I should be using this weekend to sort clean things up and get ready to pack. I probably should, since I'm leaving in a week. Hooray! I am so ready to be home, I just wish my friends would all be there when I get back.. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait a week or so for them to get back. That's what I get for leaving here a week early.. Oh! I should really call my theatre now and tell them I'm coming back. It is only 7:30, they'll be there. Yup, that's what I'll do.

Post-It

Memo to myself... Do the dumb things I have to do:

1) Pay that Stupid Freaking bill for my physical
2) Return books to the Reg
3) Pack... early
4) Call theatre, get back on schedule
5) Go shopping for Christmas presents
6) Find out who's going to TMBG concert
6a) Get tickets to TMBG concert
7) Search for some sort of work-study job for winter quarter

Reason I'm posting this publicly: So everyone can harass me about it until I get it done, darnit!

Ah...

Ah, college life. When else in your life will you be interrupted from reading the Tempest to play Dance Dance? And run back and forth between the game and AIM, where you're talking to your mom and friends from home? We won't mention that the conversations were all about capitalism and such, and Dance Dance was programmed to count calories... or that I was reading the original version of the Tempest for fun. Ok, so what if I like Shakespeare, and I think it's coolest in the old English? What of it? Hehehe. Maybe I should be some sort of linguistics major. Nothing like Shakespearean insults...

"Sebaƒtian. A poxe o'your throat, you bawling, blaƒphemous, incharitable Dog!
Boteƒwain. Worke you then!
Anthonio. Hang cur! hang! You whoreƒon inƒolent Noyƒemaker! we are leƒƒe afraid to be drownde, then thou art.
Gonzago. I'le warrant him for drowning, though the Ship were no ƒtronger then a Nutt-ƒhell, and as leaky as an vnƒtanched wench."

Hehehe, methinks it be mostly the ƒcrewey s/ƒ's, and the random capitalization on wordƒ like Noyƒemaker and Nutt-ƒhell. Hehehe. Silly perverted Shakeƒpeare! I also think using my math homework as a bookmark may be some sort of symbolism as to what sort of major I should pursue in the future... Hmm...

I am so hungry, I wish I could walk down to Subway... But it's 10 now, and I'm not even sure if it's open. It's supposed to be open 24 hours, but it hasn't been all quarter. Darnit. So maybe I'll just deal with it, and go upstairs to the 8th floor's game night. Perhaps they'll have snacks. I hate snacking at night, rather than having a meal. It's evil.

What else have I learned tonight? That the character map is freaking awesome! If I knew how, I could write in arabic! Wee!
