( Unformatted because I don't have the time right now )

This was a really good weekend. And by weekend, I mean Thursday night through Monday morning (which is what all weekends should be, really). And now I'm feeling a little sick and don't feel like going to class. But I can't skip any of my 3 classes today, for different reasons for each one. So... damnit.

You know what's funny (in a completely unfunny way)? A blackout while you're in the arcade. There's a lotof ambient noise in the arcade, what with all the machines going. With a blackout, there's an extra loud, stereoscopic version of the universal sound you get when shutting something off (BWOOOOoooo...), a moment of complete silence, and then ( Read more... )

Today has been a pretty good day in regards to my writing, I guess. That paper that I did last Thursday (through much loathing) that I half-assed? I got that back today. Apparently I'm an excellent writer. And it was a sample from my paper that was the "anonymous" sample that the teacher gave out of a good example. Which is, admittedly, an ego ( Read more... )

Right now... I should be writing my paper that's due tomorrow. But I'm writing this instead. Because it's not writing that I dislike -- no, far from it -- it's pointless busywork that vexes me. I understand the neccessity of having hard-and-fast rules, and the inability to bend those rules, especially in a large university. But really, could ( Read more... )

Three hours of a Hindu Philosophy lecture = rough times. Seriously, it's tough to stay awake for that. Strangely enough, I never had trouble staying awake during high school, even during boring early morning classes. Which were more boring and earlier than my college classes, which I don't actually fall asleep in, but I do that thing where I ( Read more... )

The price of gas has dropped significantly in the past week or so. And, to keep things in perspective... if you somehow glide from the peak of Everest to the peak of Kanchenjunga (I imagine hang-gliding at that altitude is dangerous and probably impossible, but bear with me), you've technically "dropped" in altitude, but you're still pretty ( Read more... )

Today is an incredibly gloomy day. I'd go so far as to call it lugubrious. It's the kind of day where the weather isn't horrible, per se, just so consistently, mildly uncomfortable that it wears thin your cheer. You can't have a reasonable train of thought while outside on a day like today because every other thing that's going through your head ( Read more... )

My arcade got back Police 911 2 (I really like that game title, by the way). They haven't had it for like 2 years, but it was there when I moved back in this semester. I haven't mentioned it all week because... well, because it's largely inconsequential, and I didn't think to. But I find it funny that my high scores from 2 years ago are still ( Read more... )

I... dislike the fact that there is no longer a Wendy's in my student center. Burger King: Coming Soon? Of course, it is. "Soon" can mean anything, and Burger King is inferior to Wendy's, anyway. But maybe that's just because I'm so damned used to Wendy's. I'm willing to give Burger King the ol' college try. Not that I've never had Burger ( Read more... )
