Monday
A full day if there ever was one....no, actually not. I had a statistics project due that afternoon at 5:00, so that was ever present in my thoughts for the day. Wake up, work on stat project. Eat, work on stat project. Check in for last racquetball class, work on stat project. Needless to say, I was burned out on my statistics project by the end of the day (perhaps starting it Monday morning was not the brightest of ideas). I think I actually woke up around 8:00, but I was quite tired and managed to miss the 9:10 class period of my Stat lab. I finally got up and moving to shower down and dress up (or over) around 9:40 and after checking the weather report I made my way over to the 10:20 Stat lab, all the while hoping there would be a free chair so I would not have to stand in the back.
I gave my Mom a ring while walking over to the Blocker building and apologized for not calling her the previous night (one of the days I normally call). We chatted for a while, least notably about the weather (though, why would I remember that if it was least notable? Probably censoring what information I want the general public to know or some other such subconscious process). She and my Dad are planning on coming up Wednesday afternoon/night so that we may go through that little Christmas lightshow spectacle set up south of College Station off of Highway 6. You see, none of us have actually gone to it in the 2 and a half years that I have been going here now. As you know, time can pass by quite fast, so we're making it a piont to go this year (why go at all? because we haven't gone before and other people have? I think so).
The Stat lab was pointless in as much as it didn't help me get my project finished, so I was eager to get out and make my way back to my dorm room. I was partway there, even, when I realized I hade a "care package" waiting for me at the MSC. The Aggie Moms club from my county is fairly active (and only an hour or so out from CS) and one of their "things" is to come up at busy times of the year and give the member's children a care package of sugary treats (and always a small packages of toothpaste ^_^ ). I stopped by my Chem class on the way over to the MSC, but after hopping up to the second floor (yes, I hopped up the stairs) I could see that little if any useful information was being given out (only about 5% of the class there anyways). I figured I'd just make it to the review session later this week and went on my merry way over to the MSC.
My mom is doing the scrapbook for the Aggie Mom's club this year, and she's very friendly/outgoing, so I stopped and talked for a while with the mothers that made it up to campus this time and let them take a picture with me for the scrapbook. I made my way over to Bernie's, stopping for a second time at my Chem class just to make sure nothing important was being covered. I had a Chicken Wrap made and took it with some sun chips and a sprite back to my dorm (work, work, work).
I tried to finish my project, and I really got on a roll with it, but I just wasn't going fast enough. Around 2:00 I went over to my racquetball class to check my grade and sign in. No problems with an Kine pass/fail class (I really enjoyed racquetball, but that's for another update...or never?). I got back to my room and started plugging away at the project again. It was going well, but my mind was through with all this thinking type shit and I realized I wasn't going to finish in time anyways.
I gave Clint a ring? no, it was AIM, I gave him a message? no, that sounds like I passed a note along to him or something... I IM'd Clint and suggested going over to The Casa for some video gaming or other such time wasting fun. While deciding on what to do, I had some fun with my many M&M's (from the Stat project) and took a few goofy, if not disturbing, pictures. After showing them off to Clint, online of course, we decided to head out. I walked out the Reed Arena to get my car and made it by to pick up Clint by about 3:40. Chad was busy with some programming homework, Josh was asleep and Paul and Tim were out somewhere, though not necessarily with each other, it just happened that they were not at their home at the same time. This is not at all unusual. I played some GTA:Vice City for a while, my first time actually, and had fun getting my character killed (I can find entertainment in the dumbest of areas). Clint napped and Chad typed while I played.
I stopped playing and woke Clint up around 5:10 (time to get our asses over to Sbisa for Hobbes dinner). Chad had bought ping-pong implements (set up on their small round dinning table with the leaves inserted) and it had already been decided to bring them to dinner.
Clint was supposed to give Reece a guest meal, but we didn't get there until 5:35, so I suppose he gave up and just paid since he was already in there eating (he being Reece, gg pronouns). Dinner started out uneventful enough, we were rather subdued at first, but things got interesting when Flip (or to whatever group the Freshmen behind us were associated [awk-werd]) started tossing bits of food around. It started out harmless enough, part of a cookie here, some ice there, but before you know it, there were entire chicken breast quarters thrown. Naturally, this seemed like the pest time to Chad and I to set up table tennis in the back corner of Sbisa. It was quite fun and the other table got a chuckle out of it (between throwing oranges and mashing a plate of whipped cream into one guy's face). It actually worked quite well. While Clint played with Chad, I took a few pictures.

ACTION SHOT!
Down smash (lololololol)
After all that fun, I took Chad back to The Casa. On the way he talked about his CS class (Computer Science, not Counter Strike) and we had a moment of silence, awk-werd silence? Yes, but only because I thought about the silence. I also thought about saying something, but then I didn't because I thought about mentioning this in my Xanga. I then thought about how it was no longer an awkward silence because my mind was on another topic. I then thought it was an awkward silence again because my mind had drifted back to the silence. I then thought about typing up everything that I just typed that was covering the topic of silence and typing up useless shit, in my Xanga .
Once we got back to his place, I took up the controller for more Vice City shenanigans (while Chad finished his homework). I stayed engrossed in it until Tim and Katie showed up around...hell, 9:00? I have no fucking clue. Videogames waste more time than the internet. Tim had bought a bamboo steaming basket of sorts and when he offered to cook up some fish and potatoes in it I affirmed my interest in such an endeavor (ha ha, big words). He made enough for himself, Katie and I (and I think we discussed doing some salmon for Chad, but whether any efforts or fish materialized from that suggestion, I do not know). Paul had also showed up at some point that night, but I couldn't say when because I was fucking into that damn videogame.
After Katie started making cake, we somehow decided to watch anime (surprise!). I think there was some One Piece watching to be had and before we could get to Bleach I decided to leave, it was 1:00 AM and I still had to do my project today! Go, go, procrastination.
My roommate is bitching right now about his computer program not working, oh and heavily sighing. It's like he has tourette's (or rather, that watchamacallit psychological disorder in which you spout off bursts of random profane words [that's right, tourette's is not the same disease])
Sooo....I'm going to go to sleep so that I may recount the events of Tuesday (ohhh, do I ever turn my project in? Find out in my next update. There will be a twist of fate, er, no there won't.) in typewrote form.
I h8 u intarweb.
Afterthought: Thanks for telling me about Arcade Fire, Tim.
