If you hear any crazy shit about Lawrence tonight... believe it. I was in one of the first waves of people to make it down there, left Pearson (three blocks from Mass) as soon as the clocks hit 0.0, and there was already a naked man climbing on a street lamp. I'm sure it only got crazier ( Read more... )

There is a point in a riot that you stop being able to tell if the cars are honking because they want you to get out of the street or because they're celebrating with you. There is also a point when you stop caring and just treat them like they're celebrating. And then comes the point when you start standing on the hoods of the cars because you ( Read more... )

I moved back into the dorms on Monday, but as it was just Michelle and I, not Bailey nor Erin, I was still stuck in my old bedroom. Erin & Bailey came back today, so I'm finally settled in, officially. Bailey & I switched rooms, so Erin & I can both have bottom bunks.

Thank you all so, so much for your kind words.
