Ok, a million and one things have happened since I last posted... as a brief update...

Tuesday night (or wednesday morning ;-)) at Midnight I threw a surprise birthday party for Sam... yay for him being 21 and able to buy me.... books. ;-) I also baked him a cake! Soon, I will figure out how to post pictures here, if I can? or somewhere on the internet. The problem is that my pictures are large files, therefore good for printing/blowing up, but bad for posting on internet. So I'm going to have to find a way to either buy a place with lots of memory, or just I don't know. cry.

mmmm wednesday was sam's birthday, but the best part was my party :-)

Thursday, I don't think much happened? Oh, Miriam had to go home to visit doctor/get mri. Something might be wrong with her neck. VERY BAD. I miss her much! Also, thursday night the German Department had a showing of Nosferatu... which was the MOST POINTLESS MOVIE EVER. It's about Dracula... but, like, nobody wins. It's just stupid. and they kept having these really drawn out scenes of him like standing there. Or walking. Or this chick walking on the beach. Messed up. Then again, it was made in the 70s in Germany ;-).

Friday = HALLOWEEN! which was marvelous fun. I was a bleeding heart liberal, and amy kiley was a republican... so we got to make fun of each others political parties. Willard had trick or treating and decorating and such (kind of a make-up Francis Willard Party) For those of you not from Northwestern who are not familiar with Francis Willard, she is the founder of our dorm who was also a leader in the temperance movements. So for the past 30 years, Willard has celebrated her birthday (oct 17 or 18 or something?) by throwing a huge, dorm wide party, which is basically the whole dorm gets drunk and parties together. SO. MUCH. FUN. Unfortunately, this year, even though NU spent millions of dollars renovating Willard, it still lacks adequate "fire exits" or something to that effect. Which EVERY dorm, sorority, fraternity, res college, etc. lacks. We just got the brunt of it b/c they hate us. In anycase, back to halloween, trick or treating in willard, SAI for Amy's birthday party, back to willard, up north to some party, back to willard :-). Later, I had a bunch of WNUR people and a couple of non-wnurians to my room for some cooling down :-). Fabulous fun.

Saturday, I was supposed to go to purdue, but because approx. every single part of my plan fell apart, except for my bus ticket, I decided after much thought not to go. :-( Therefore, it was the Weekend of Efficiency. Funny, it didn't even feel that efficient. I STILL have a ton to read. wheeeeeeeeeeee.

Today is sunday. work. I'm making bread now. it'll be ready in one hour and 42 min. study break! now, I think I'm going to do some german assignments and then get back to psych. blarg.
