So this week is shaping up to suck. First of all, Sam brought an epidemic of the flu to Gaffield, which I also ended up catching. It's kind of cool though, because it shows the incubation period for the virus: Sam had it Monday... then 5 days later, Evan gets it saturday, I get it sunday, Eliot gets it sunday night. Hopefully that's the extent of it and no one else gets sick.
Also, Twister is this saturday. It seems to just be endless frustration: I've been turned down almost every single time I asked for donations. I do have a few, and I'm waiting on a bunch of food places but ARGH. Ah well. life goes on.
So now I'm behind in my work for the week and I have to get all the twister stuff taken care of. So I'm just going to be very stressed out. hooray!.
So I probably shouldn't even be updating this. Alright, back to the books!
*do be do be do* (Don't have a song stuck in my head ;-))

Procrastination

is my life. Ah well. It's a good life.
Although at this moment I only have one more assignment until freedom. Unfortunately, I only have about 15 min before I have to leave for wine tasting class. I'll just do it afterwards. hehehehe. It's just some stupid paragraph, in which I have to explain whether or not I would like to punch Jimmy Porter in the nose. Seriously, that is the question my prof. assigned us. Which actually does make sense when you consider that he's a total jackass. (for those of you who care, I'm talking about Look Back in Anger.) But whatever.
This week has been just full of alison avoiding work. Which then of course came to bite her in the butt last night when she was up til after 4 working on international law. wheeeeeeeeeeee.
Good part, though, is that Ben Rosen has some game called God of War which is very similar (if not the same, as Sam claims) to Prince of Persia. In anycase, it's pretty interesting and so I've been watching Nathan play it. Talk about flashbacks... reminds me of the endless hours I spent sitting on Alex's floor watching him/Jon/Glen play video games. Good times :-). And you know what? Those are good memories. Not the best, most exciting memories, but good feeling memories. I know it sounds strange, and yes, I am a nerd, but I liked those times of hanging out. Even though we weren't doing anything it was good times. I'm probably just trying to redeem myself for being lame and wasting so much time, but eh. I don't really care ;-).
Today in HMS class he was in classic form. Good times. Especially when Jim was explaining his winning the 10,000 scholarship from GSN it was hilarious. Also good moment: Darius singing Britney Spear's "toxic". Oh how I love HMS. Although he said today that he'll be gone for 6 months next year. Sadness! He asked everyone (literally went from person to person) about future plans/summer plans (for the 3 juniors in the class ;-)) It's really interesting, seeing what everyone else is doing with the starts of their real lives. (or the putting off of it, in the case of graduate school). Especially interesting in the context of that class, because of course several people mentioned going back to Germany.
Dear lord, my room is FREEZING. I'm shaking I'm so cold. It's 51 outside, but because my room is in the basement it gets none of the warmth, so it is always freezing. Except for the week when it was 80, at which point it was burning up, because Jaci hadn't turned off the heat yet. Oh chicago. How I love your weather. (let's see if I can mention chicago's weather in every single blog entry ;-)).
Tomorrow is KD's formal. I'm not going. I'm just not in the formal mood, plus I don't really have a dress. I feel bad, because Elizabeth really wants me to go and I'll miss an evening of hanging out w/ super cool girls, but I just don't feel like getting dressed up and going downtown. I think it'd be better if I didn't feel like I'd just be stuck there the whole night, wegen the fact that we have to take the buses back.
Alright, I should head out. Yay for wine!
*now we grieve cause now is gone... things were good when we were young* (thanks to Glen, for introducing me to the Von Bondies ;-))

NU

hahaha, I'm sorry, but this must live in infamy (in my blog)
two students were mugged at gunpoint last night. Here is an excerpt from the story:
"I was hesitant and thinking about throwing the wallet under the car but he said, 'I'll blaze your ass,'" Carter said. "I was thinking, 'I still got homework to do tonight.'"

hahahahaha.
oh Northwestern :-)
sadly, I wonder what would go through my head at that point. I don't know if I would think, "oh shit, I'm going to die if I don't do what he says." I mean, I ought to think that, and I expect that I would think that. But it is also likely that I just think, crap, this is my favorite purse. or crap, my lucky audrey dollar bill is in my wallet. hmmmmm.
ok. enough trying to be philosophical. har har ;-)
