(no subject)

Yes, my day.
I guess I haven't said anything about it in a few days.
I don't want to think right now.
So we'll try and do this qiuck.

Got up this morning, got to class. We had a walk-in quiz I'd missed cause of work. She let me take it, but said she'd deduct 1 point right off. whatever. I took it; I'm expecting a 7/10 or something. Maybe a point or two less. I'll argue if it's too low - she gives you points back if you do.

Stopped and talked to Nina, Ramsey, and Jason on the way back to my dorm - they all came in late cause of a Stats Test that was killer. We talked a bit about the quiz. Whatever.
Got back to my dorm to find an e-mail saying my 5:10 class was cancelled. Makes my day a little easier.

Went to work where I relieved a few people for Lunch breaks, then hung out at Admissions with Hazel for the last three hours. We had a ball - I don't think you're allowed to have that much fun at work.

Came home, since class was cancelled, and got the bag of food (non-perishable) from Neko out of my car, finally. Also searched for my Military ID, which I couldn't find, and started to get frantic over. Finally found it under the drivers seat (after scouring my room and putting in a load of laundry). The moon outside is a really bright, yellowish color behind the clouds tonight, like a large streetlight. It may have inspired another Snippet. Hmmmm.

Not really looking forward to food at North, but it's that or pay for Chinese - and much as I want Chinese, I don't want to pay for food if I don't have to. And I probably should eat.

I'm tired. It's been a rough one.
Five Days Remain.

And she said she's excited to see me in a few weeks. ^__^ Feel the joy.

...a little bit TOO ironic...

Sometimes I think God has a very ironic sense of humor.
I like that in a guy.

So, after finally deciding to go to Dinner, even though it was North and even though it was 6:10 (The worst time to go to dinner), I get there and there;s tablecloths and everything - really upscale, for North. AND a line for food - another oddity. I see Joelle in the line (one of the people from the Retreat who I never get to hang out with) and I say 'I don't get it' to which she replies 'Thanksgiving.'

That's right, North was having a formal Thanksgiving dinner, and when North does something formal, the food is almost decient. Turkey with stuffing and mashed potatoes you can eat - even these great little dinner rolls that were not burned! I was stunned.

Anyways, I get my food and do my normal dinner thing - look around for someone I 'know' (which excludes Joelle, in any case, but she had vanished somewhere) and finding no one, sat by myself.
^_^;; It's really not as bad as you'd think, eating alone...
But then Jim (another of the Retreat People) came by and sat down next to me (*gasp*) and then called Joelle (she's his girlfriend) over, and Gabe came and sat with us, and Raul, and a few other people, and we had a wholew dinner group kinda thing going. ^_^;; It really kinda made my night.

Talking with them also made me feel better about my living arangements. Jim said he's been getting 4 and 5 hours of sleep, and Gabe said he averages out at about 7, the same as me (Joelle said 9, but she's weird anyways...).

Then another girl was talking about her roomie, Aria... The girl sounds like a disaster. >_< She's sick with the flu, which isn't cool, but she's making sure EVERYONE is painfully aware of it at all times. She's boiling her roomie by turning the heat up too high, and isn't having the common decency to cover her mouth when she coughs. AND, just the other night, her roomie went to bed early (cause she's sick, too), and Aria woke her up at 2:30 to turn off some 'little lights around the room.'

So I feel a bit better, generally, after having dinner with these people, and specifically about my sleeping-schedual and room accomadations.

The Tower

She looked out the window of her room, held loftily in the North Tower, and gazed wistfully over the sea of green and brown that was her father's land. A land which she had not experienced since she was a little child. Since before her mother died... There were guards stationed all around the castle, now; intended, she was sure, to keep her in as much as to keep others out. Maybe more so. 'The world is a dangerous place, my dear,' he would say. 'Not somewhere for a lady.' And so she spent those years in the castle, enduring lessons she never paid attention to, and going through all the 'proper' motions. The wind caressed her silken dress and fluttered through her golden hair. She would not cry. She would not let him bring her to tears.

MovieFest 2002

Rachel and I are trying to get a list of movies to see, and I thought I'd post it here so I can't lose it. If anyone has anything that might be added, let me know.
