i think that this is the first time i've ever seen the oscars all the way through. and what i will take away from it is those stupid car commercials and trying to look for the hobbits (particularly dominic monaghan) everytime they ... did that thing... you know, with the camera, and they put them on tv...clearly, i know techinical terms for these things.
...yeah.
pledging is that wonderful time of the year when you sacrifice what is left of your ailing health for two hours at the delt house going swat for swat with your sisters...and having gammas knocking on windows of your dorm while you are trying to sleep and generally and being obnoxious...speaking of gammas, tilford spoke to me today, which i did not expect. i think it was to tell me he's not speaking to me, but i'm tired and it was loud,so i didn't exactly catch all of what he was saying.
hm.
vegas in a week!
now i "get" to go buy five cases of beer and then sober drive to the axe all-social. i'm thrilled out of my mind.
i completely failed to remember this entire block that because it is a tutorial i am getting a grade for the work i've done...or not done... *urp*
in addition to laura's post about the current situation with the opinions section, i put in my own two cents worth at the staff meeting this afternoon. i had a written statement prepared, but derek had to read it because i got super nervous. i really hate confrontation, but i also don't think it's right for tilford to directly attack laura like he did. i also commented on the general state of the page itself. i think that it just generally sucks, but the statement i made was on it's immaturity. and...i commented on andy's column, because he said that the newspaper is not a legitimate source of news. excuse me?? if that is the case, then why does the administration freak out so much and call rich about news stories? gah.
it's just like a couple of weeks ago, i feel much better having said it, but it still kinda sucks. much relieved though. and perhaps there will be more columnists like addy sometime soon?
you have a "towel dance party" with your roommate before going to the bathroom to be "shower buddies".
last night i had vampire dreams and they sucked my blood. mm. well, and dreams with firecrackers, but mostly vampires. laura thinks it's because subconsciously i "knew [my] blodd was getting sucked out." well, it's not really, but you know, blood, vampires...hrm.
i don't suppose it could possibly have anything to do with angel?
my application had been delayed due to my inability to balance a checkbook. i did NOT need to bounce any checks! now, even if my parents pay the aplication fee, they can't put it in my account because it won't benefit me at all.
plus, apparantly the reason that i nearly passed out this morning has something to do with me being slightly anemic. i'm supposed to take iron supplements, but with my checking acount $35 in the hole, that's a bit impossible.
i will be taking a collection...
i just finished subtle knife. only one more book and it's over. it's like lotr...i don't know exactly what to do next, so i'm scared to start the book, but i really want to read it.
so, i would just like to make the comment that, besides the fact that i am overusing the word so, i am a little perturbed at my sister's job, at which she apparantly stuck her hand in a bag of uranium. i know i wasn't the best chem student in the world, despite the efforts of tj and mr wilson, but isn't uranium kind of radioactive? if i'm wrong, feel free to tell me so.
so, instead of complaing about how i didn't get anything done today, i will tell everyone about how i did get stuff done. this morning i got up at a decent hour, and by ten was in mcwethy so i could do slides. i did my slides (please, god, let them turn out!), and then looked for kate. well, i couldn't find her, so i read. not the book i'm supposed to be reading but the one i want to be, the subtle knife. then, i got all my stuff so i could make kings cake for the mardi gras party tonight. apparantly, my kings cake is to die for. i dont know why, it's not like it's an original recipe or something. anyway, so i did that and went to work, and then was summoned to be the representative for the cornellian at appropriations. finished my kings cake and took it to pfeiffer, adn then went to senate where all i did was sit there and then answer one question. plus, my page is finished already (hooray!) and i'm doing laundry. all i have left is my essay, but i'm too tired to work on that, so i'm procrastinating. i am looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning.
guess this thing doesn't update itself.
can you tell how lazy i am?
however, this weekend i did go into the darkroom and get something accomplished. although, someone took the cd player out of there again, which meant that i was in this dark, enclosed by myself with nothing to distract me. i was completely freaking myself out after about an hour, and had to leave. it's so sad.
but i made a couple of prints, although they aren't perfect and i'll have to redo them if i ever want to use them for anything.
did i mentoin that the slide film i bought is $13? that's insane. i haven't made my slides yet, i intend to do that tomorrow.
anyway, we also had a picture swap from the england trip today. i haven't gotten mine developed because i'm too poor, but i got some good ones from other poeple. they will be scanned and shared. es pecially the one with me and my cheap wine, i'm proud of that one even though the wine was quite possibly the worst thing i've ever tasted.
i also spent valentine's day drinking. it was a rather fun experience overall, i totally kicked ass with kirsten in beer pong in double overtime rebuttal. it was super sweet. except then i went to the bar and i don't know about derek...i feel violated somehow after going out on the dance floor with him at the hilltop. and he accuses my sisters of being predatory. : )
i feel like i did do something worthwhile this weekend, but i'm not sure what it could possibly be. i still have to finish my *#$&ing essay, which has vbecome the bane of my existance. i'm not sure why it has to be so hard, but it is. i think it's because they want to know my long term goals.
anyway, i'm totally just procrastinating again. yep. tomorrows another monday.
today i found out my favorite author, m. m. kaye, died. she was 95, but still, it was slightly saddening. i found out because my mom sent me a newspaper clipping with my valentine's day package. hm, kind of fits in with my theme for the valentine's i made, i guess.
i made my valentines today. i'm proud of them, and i would like to scan them before i send them all out. then everyone can see them, even if i am lame and forget to mail them to people.
they are black and photocopied (i'm a copycat, that was my sister's idea) and say things like "love is a hole in the heart" and "love lives in sealed bottles of regret" and there is one with a tombstone that says "be my valentine?" it's quality. there is only one "normal" one of the four designs i came up with.
i am proud of myself for standing up for myself...but at the same time i feel like i might have screwed stuff up. but...at least i'm not deluding myself anymore.
i REALLY need to get started on stuff for class. a week and a half in, and i really couldn't say what i've been doing this whole time. i think it's winter, it totally sucks everything in...kind of like a black hole...or orkut.

hm.
it seems of late that instead of drinking myself silly and making a complete ass of myself at the bar every weekend, i'm much more content to just sit around in my room and be lame. of course, friday night was women's formal, and so, as a senior, i had an entire bottle of champagne to myself and a hotel room with kate and lisa, but kate was the drunk one. "i'm drowning!" and so on and so forth.
last night, i had every intention of playing in my room and watching tv until i went to bed, but i was instructed by laura to go visit my delphi little sis lauren at the student senate dance. since our group was, almost literally, the only group to not have a prepledge that night (although we did have a bring-a-friend that afternoon, which is why everyone else was drunk), there wasn't anyone there. which was sad, because it could have been even more fun than it was.
i think after the first hour when everyone left, our activities consisted of mainly biting open the balloons and deflating them. i had some balloon races.
then i came back to my room and watched red green and wet hot american summer.
i still haven't finished my essay. and after my meeting with tony on friday about my senior show, i'm about ready to cry. he keeps coming up with more ideas, the last more invovled than the first. i have no clue whatsoever what i'm doing. *sigh*
considering how much free time i haev, i'm not really doing much of anything.
i love my sister. this has been my wallpaper for the last month and a half. it brightens my day.
oh, orlando, why do you tease me so?
hehe!
my senior show, at the moment, is scheduled for april 25 in the peter paul luce gallery. *runs and hides*
this is me, smiling & jeering at everyone else, as i have no "real class" that i have to attend this block.
i have no pity.
