I just walked over to Kellogg to find the Slavic department mailboxes and turned in my Russian Lit final paper. It is eight and a half pages of beautiful, beautiful bullshit, and I am happy.

My finals are over, I am a second quarter college student, and it's time for Christmas Break!

I have been sleeping since November 15th. Nothing has happened. I have not talked to anyone, done anything, thought anything or read anything. I have just been awakened by Tommy, who took it upon himself to shake me rather abruptly and yell, "Lindsay, come on...it's time to wake up and write in your live journal." Now, inspiration that he is to me ( Read more... )

My mock trial roles multiplied today, and now I'm about to die. Don, the senior on our little tourney team, found he had a conflict, and my coach passed his lawyer roles on to me. Unfortunately for me, the man is not concise. His direct is 43 questions long. The longest of his three crosses is 57 questions long. I've taken it upon myself to ( Read more... )

Guess who's coming to NU!! If you're one of those astute people who gets foreshadowing, you've probably already figured it out. That's right...Ben Folds! Who's going? Me! For only five bucks! Don't you just love college?!

I'm supposed to keep this on the down-low, but...I interviewed to be on a committee to help plan Dance Marathon, NU's big philanthropic event, and the girl who was conducting my interview and I got around to talking about Alias. What good conversation doesn't? She said she had worked with a girl on the DM committee two years ago who now worked for ( Read more... )

Last night I saw Sweet Home Alabama with Stephanie, my Mock Trial/Russian Lit cohort. I didn't have any work that I absolutely had to do, (welcome to the middle of the week in college...) but everyone else was intent on studying, so I almost killed myself in boredom until Stephanie finished her work and all of the sudden we were struck by genius: " ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! I've got to do Italian homework and run to class, but I just wanted to let you all know that you're talking to the newest member of the Northwestern Mock Trial team! My friend Stephanie and I both made it, and our first meeting is tonight. We'll find out if we're on the competetive teams early next week (Northwestern is hard core- two ( Read more... )

Jordan's radio show is soooooo cool! It's three in the morning here, but I'm enjoying the punk music even though I'm exhausted. And I was thinking how cool it is that we're all spread out all over the country, but right now we're all listening to Jordan's show. I'm feeling very connected to all my OES friends! And of course it's good to hear her ( Read more... )

All my good byes have been said, most of my stuff is packed, and next time I update, I will finally, finally be at college ( Read more... )
