o weary, weary is the world

Dec 18, 2006 13:04

I realize it has been well over a month since my last post, which was a meagre one at that, and that many of you are probably by now operating on the assumption that I have been eaten by the other freshmen at college in a desperate attempt to escape the unending horror of cafeteria food. I assure you this is not the case. I ate them. (*rimshot ( Read more... )

life, college

It's not January yet, sorry.

Yay for having an exciting time at college! And congratulations on your fantastic grades!

Sounds fantastic. :) Uni is good, no?

Kathelijne Sersanders would be proud of you. You'll like her. (Hurry up and read The House of Niccolò, daaaaaamn you. I'm down to the last book and a half and flapping almost ceaselessly. The Dunnett Effect. We should form a support group. Or join one of the very-likely-already-existing ones.)

Also, send me my smellies, dammit. I need to get some webspace so I can embed angry fist-shaking emoticons in my replies. Do me a favour and pretend I did, to compensate for my poor planning.

I do indeed, but unless I can get through all of them in about a month they're going to have to wait until summer, since school is nice and I'd rather not fail my classes (the endless litany: "School is nice and they're paying for it!" Ask anyone... the running joke is that I keep a textbook open on the floor while I shower and poke my head around the curtain so I can read and shampoo at the same time. Poor fools, how little they know. The shower is when you go over your memorization in your head, to make sure you've got it all. While eating, while in bed and while watching movies, that's when you do the inappropriate reading.)

Aaah, the smellies. Funny story about that, actually. I sent them at Thanksgiving, and apparently about a week ago they were sent back, with a "RETURNED" stamp on them, and no explanation whatsoever. Heavens only know how far they made it. What a waste of postage. I shall have to try-- again. This time I'm going to be smart and ask my postman how to do it first, which is what I should have done ( ... )

I will attest to her furious studying habits. Our joke is that we're going to find her on the side of the road during the winter holiday, begging like a crack addict for homework. "Hey, man, you got any sociology? English? math? I'll take anything!" She takes her textbooks EVERYWHERE.

I've changed my mind, you need to wait until I've finished the series before I start it. If you get into it over your break you'll probably finish them all before I do, and then the roles of flapper and flapee won't be properly reversed, as has been my hope for a while now. I'd be able to intone things like "The circle is complete" in my best James Earl Jones voice. I wouldn't do that, however, as it would be lame. Oh, and I intend to steal your study techniques immediately. Bwahah.

Oh, so that's why you need to put your name on things that you post. Gotcha. Registered mail. The unaccountable return of them is bizarre, at any rate. Let me know how much the postage is, and I'll pay you back. Do it.

Cool. You've ticked off a checkbox I haven't gotten to yet. Bailing someone out. How cool is that?

Glad to hear you're alive and well, if jonesing for school already. You should have just brought something appropriate to your classes for next term home with you, silly. Even if they hadn't let you know which textbooks they were going to use, you could have picked up appropriate things on world lit or astronomy. ;P
