Today is the last day of class. Yahoo! However, all my big projects seem to be due this Thursday or Friday, so it’s not quite over yet. Soon though! 
It’s been my dream weekend – today I spent 8 hours doing database systems in beautiful Sage 3101. From wake at 2pm Eastern Standard time, until 10, when public safety kicks everyone out of the lab because it closes, we worked and worked and worked. Dumb project.
At least afterwards we ate pizza, played Monkeyball , and watched about 4 episodes of Friends from Laura’s DVD collection. (I’m trying to forget about my off-key singing to 80s music!) The most exciting part was that we FINALLLY found out where Mimi does her Chinese Finger Trap move!! It’s in MONKEY BOWLING!!
I’m so glad that dumb presentation is over! I hate giving presentations, especially when I’m all alone! It sucks when you’re not allowed to just read a piece of paper, because the messing up factor goes up tenfold – hehe. Ah well it’s over and that’s the important part!
Trying to get these forms to get Greenlee faxed is a pain in the neck. The fax machine here at work sucks – it thinks the line is busy! (Well maybe it is).
Now it’s just those projects and 1 final standing in my way – time to go be artsy and stuff!
Hello hello! Why it may seem that I *finally* have a car! My Uncle Tim put a deposit down on this little baby yesterday. Greenlee (a possibly placeholder name.. I might change my mind when I meet the car in person.. lol) is a 1997 Ford Escort! Yahooey!
Greenlee, by the way, is a character from All My Children. It just makes sense since it is a green car! Mu ha ha!
I talked to the dealer on the phone, and he was the first very thick-accented southerner I’ve talked to. Will I return from my travels sounding like a character from The Beverly Hillbillies? I hope not!
I must say, the weather has severly messed with my life. Last week it was 80 and sunny. Today it is 30 degrees and raining. It’s not only killing the pretty flowers, it’s affected dorm life as well. You see, during the 80 degree week, people complained about their computers overheating and whatnot, so Residence Life finally gave in and switched our forced air over to cold.
Well, guess what kiddies?! There’s still cold air coming out of our vents! So in addition to the cold air coming in through the cracks in our badly sealed windows, there is also cold air coming out of our air vents.
I’m considering changing my room into a meat locker – it seems like a good idea, I could charge people to store their meat in my room! Ding! I just need an electric blanket or an eskimo coat or something to stay warm! I’ll have to tell everyone that there’ll be a barbeque in another week or so when all their meat defrosts! Are you in?
I would love to write a lovely, creative weblog entry – but I don’t have the energy to. There are so many fun things this week! 2 presentations (one by myself.. for 7 minutes.. *sob*)! 2 projects due next Monday (My Writing Project and Crystal Dreams)! 1 project due next Tuesday (Database Systems, my favorite)! But after that, all I have left to do is study for my one measly final in database systems.
Oh and by the way, I might actually have a car! Hopefully! Yay! I’ll post pictures as soon as things are definite.
Friday night was a highly entertaining evening of reality television – but without the TV part. We were enjoying the seasonably warm evening out on the porch, when suddenly a party began at the house across the street. “Boom Boom In da house! Yo Yo Yo! (that’s the music)” A blacklight turned on in an upstairs bedroom. Many festivities.
Apparently brothers of one of the “beefcake” fraternities live in this house, and shortly after the music started scantily-clad women began entering. We would see a guy and a girl head upstairs holding hands, and we could only imagine what was going on up there. The downstairs led a fairly clear view, while the upstairs was a mysterious murky “paradise” of somesort.
Then the twiggy chicks walked across the street to where we were sitting. “Like… Oh… My god! Do you guys have a laser??” On closer examination, these ‘ladiez’ that the beefcakes were trying to get were around, oh, 15 years old.
Apparently someone was pointing a laser pointer at their party and they thought it was us. Like we are that lame! Luckily they left and sent their “men” to the house next door to investigate.
Throughout the evening, there was a series of people making out on the front porch, mysterious trips to the upstairs sanctuary and of course, girl conferences on the porch in between these sessions.
All the while there were two dudes watching something on TV. They didn’t move once the whole evening until everyone piled illegally into an SUV presumably to go downtown for more drinking.
What happened? Stay tuned for the next epsiode!
My mom was pointing me to all these extremely hot & stylish purses on ebay, and I came across this one. All I can say is – do I need that baby or what?! It matches my splash page!
Like those commercials for Allegra, I see a man mowing the grass in our quad and like a hallucination, I see huge molecules of grass pollen flying toward me, just waiting to make me sneeze. I love spring, I love to see things growing and being green and pretty colors instead of icky gray… I just happen to be allergic to every kind of living organism.
When I was a little kid, I got allergy testing done. After getting a zillion shots and drips of every kind of allergin on my skin, my mom and I got a 20 page packet of all the things I’m allergic to. There’s your normal things, like cats, dogs, grass, dust, tree pollen, feathers… but it was especially hilarious since like every genus of possible tree or plant that I was allergic to was listed. “The Kabooki Tree – only located in Eastern Indochina.” Hmm, riiight!
Martha’s fun plans for the weekend (as in my Martha Stewart Living magazine):
Friday: Niece Sophie’s birthday; put out peony supports in garden
Saturday: Go antiquing in Maine; organize cookbook library
Sunday: Take nieces to a Broadway show
I only wish my life was so exciting and organized! lol. I mean really, I thought she lived in Connecticut – how is she going to organize her cookbook library when she’s antiquing in Maine? Perhaps she’s flying to Maine and coming back in a few hours? Or rather she is having her STAFF reorganize her cookbook library. That’s more like it!
