11:02 pm - meh
|
We have officially arrived at the boring middle part of the semester. The time where everyone (including myself) is too busy to hang out. That's one of the reasons I feel like I'm stuck in a rut now; the other reason has something to do with the fact that Smash Bros, downloaded Scrubs episodes, and poker can only entertain for so long, and that's about all that ever happens at our suite. It's all fun, but so predictable. Oh well, I guess the weekend should be more exciting. I'm going to enter this big poker tournament on Saturday. 99% chance I'll get my ass kicked, but how sweet would it be if I won? It's only $5 to play, anyway, so I might as well.
There is one interesting thing happening--I got a new job working at the x-ray crystalography lab in the chem building. If you don't know what the hell x-ray crystalography is, I can't really tell you much about it myself, but I know it can be used to determine the structure of a molecule. I could be wrong, but I think this is big break for me. I'll get a chance to work with equipment that costs tens of thousands of dollars! My boss says that the equipment isn't used on nights and weekends, and I'll be able to run my own little experiments if I want to. I don't really have any ideas yet, but it'll be sweet if I can come up with something. Tomorrow I have to go in to my old job and officially quit, which I'm not looking forward to. I shouldn't feel so awkward about it, it's not like I had an important job. I'd mostly just put a mouse in a box, wait 10 minutes, take it out again, repeat.
1000 points if anyone knows what quixotic means (I just thought it sounded cool).

9:49 pm - Damn you, Tennessee Williams
|
I've been working on this $%&*@# 8-10 page essay for way too freakin' long, and it still sucks. I'm supposed to figure out exactly what Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is saying about the social status of women in the 50's. Thoughts, anyone?
The good news is, after tomorrow's paper deadline and physics final, I'll have "only" three finals left, and then I can start packing. I'll have a day after finals that I can spend exploring the city...if I feel like it. Anyway, in case anyone who is reading this (i.e., Bonnie and Jeswise) wants to know what day I'm coming home, it's a week from saturday.
Btw, what the hell does "exanimate" mean?

10:26 pm - Too much taurine
|
Caffeine has never had much effect on me, so I figured I could handle two SoBe's and a Livewire. As I soon found out, taurine is a different story. Sorry to everyone who missed it (since it's such a rare event), but I was as hyper as a monkey on speed. I got a ton of work done, though. Hmmm... I wonder if I could just stop sleeping? It would make my life a hell of a lot easier.
My friends talk about the most random things at dinner. Today, we somehow started talking about inappropriate things to do at a funeral. For example, take your dead pet cat and insist that there should be a joint funeral. Or pretend to be a magician, then saw the coffin in half.
current mood:  hyper

11:24 pm - needed an excuse to avoid work
|
I'm getting sick of explaining that "yes, I'm from Utah," and "no, I'm not mormon." Maybe I'll start telling people that I'm from california. Oh, well, I guess it doesn't really matter anyway, since I rarely meet anyone new. I've gotten so antisocial here. It's alright; I'll have plenty of time to try making new friends, since many of my old ones are gone on missions. Maybe I'll just forget about that and just try weird social experiments instead, like wearing a shirt that says "will you be my friend?" and seeing if anyone talks to me. Heh heh. Seriously, though, kind of nervous that this summer's going to suck ass. On the bright side, at least there'll be lots of available mormon girls. Hopefully the ivy league thing will score me some points.
Don't ask where my user name came from, you'd be disappointed to find out. It's a stupid in-joke that only I find funny. There are lots of things that amuse only me. Teen girl squad on homestarrunner.com, for example.
ONLY TWO AND A HALF WEEKS! I can't wait to see everybody.
