FRIDAY LAST LAST: Not too exciting. I did school work, some people hung out, overall a chill day. Uhh...yeah.
This is a picture of the bins. Fun fun. |
SUNDAY LAST LAST: On Sunday we just kinda chilled out in the dorm. I got some work done, and then got a bio test back. I got a 75%. Which is WAY lower than I thought I got. Like...holy balls. It really messed me up. So I went and talked to my professor and essentially cried in front of him because I was like "ohmygodthisiswhatiwanttodowithmylifeessentiallyandifimnotgoodatitwhatamigonnadoi'mgoingtobenothingandohmygodwhy" and he was like...super nice. He talked me through the questions I missed, and I understood it, and he was like "I've noticed you in class and labs and you're a bright kid, you just weren't thinking right for this test" etc. and he was like...I'm gonna keep raving about this but he made me feel so much better. And then he was like "Hey, this'll cheer you up," and brought me into this back room where all of the tadpoles we'd been taking care of for several weeks in lab and we talked about that, and he was like "Hey, if any of your friends feel like you did tell them to come in because I hate how these tests make you guys feel. You're some of the brightest kids in the nation." After I came back to the dorm I only had an hour left until rehearsal for Iphigenia, so I just sat on the covered balcony while the rain was falling around me and the sun slowly setting in the background and read about 30 pages of my book. It was one of the most relaxing experiences in my young life. And then...I went to rehearsal, and then basically came home and chilled out.
This is what our tadpoles look like... |
...and here's a fully grown frog! They're Bombina orientalis |
MONDAY LAST: Monday I woke up, went to class, and then did a bit of work. I went to the gym with my friend Sam, then chilled at the dorm.
TUESDAY LAST: Similar day to Monday, but Ted and I went to Trader Joe's, and I bought a BUNCH of really delicious oatmeal and some other stuff like peanut butter cups and rootbeer. Then I came home and hung out. A theme, of sorts.
WEDNESDAY LAST: Wednesday is my longest day of class, so I pretty much did that for the day. My chem lab partner and I finished early (HOLY BALLS <3) and I came home to a bunch of people hanging out in the common room so I drank some rootbeer and just yeah. HUNG OUT WHAT A SURPRISE RICH.
My preferred method of transportation. |
FRIDAY LAST: On friday I had class for quite a while, and there was an essay due on Saturday, so I mostly did that. That's why I couldn't post then. (IM SORRY)
I'M SO FUCKING PROUD. |
TODAY: I woke up really late this morning, made myself some really nice oatmeal, then went to rehearsal. It sucked, but didn't wreck my weekend. Then I played a board game, hung out, and now I'm writing this. =)
P.S. Next week is my fall break. I expect to hear when all y'all are home. Additionally, Derek, Kvothe just talked to the "peg" farmer in Trebon. I'm ~84% of the way through. Holy balls do I love this book. I haven't been sleeping cause I've been reading it all night every night.
Pshh, thats a fire-belly toad. Toad! I had one as a pet. But I enjoyed your extremely late post, I'm glad someone else is experiencing newdness. I'll discuss about my experiences on Tuesday. Wow, break already? Are you going home? Wow, I'm still in shock its so soon. Skype me I miss you. <3
ReplyDeleteHahaha ALL OF THE NAKED. And yeah, it's pretty soon, and I'll be home. If I was driving I'd stop in and visit...but I'm not...so...yeah. But anyway. I will, some time. I'm so busy it's not even fair.
ReplyDeleteAlso, nevermind. I finished Name of the Wind.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to Reed. But I also want to stay at Middlebury. Your school sounds so awesome. Clone me! Oh wait, that's already happened.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked NotW. We need to geek out about it next time we see each other.
Also, DO YOU ACTUALLY GET A WHOLE WEEK OFF?
This is me being jealous. I get the 24th and 25th off, and that's it. Obviously, I won't be flying back.
It's really cool, but all of our colleges are (except American, eww). When I was reading about whatever building it is in NotW that Kvothe gets lost in, I imagined the building at Middlebury that you can stay in for a semester (which is magic, by the way). And we WILL OMG I LOVE IT. Fortunately several of my dormies have read the book (being in the sci-fi/fantasy dorm and all) so I can get some nerd on to tide me over. And yep! A whoooollllleeeeee week. =D But only like 2 days for thanksgiving, which I'd rather have a week for.
ReplyDeleteOkay so you post three days late and get comments. I post on time and get none. This is unfair. You gave my post bad karma.
ReplyDeleteAlso what is RKSK? And why were you naked. And I must echo Jason, that IS a Fire-bellied toad. We sold them at Russo's.
ReplyDeleteReed Kommunial Shit Kollective. They don't really do anything other than the initiation, it's just a representation of the idea that we're all here for each other, both in spirit and in terms of "If you're hungry, I have snacks". And okay, okay, it's a toad. Geez. But it's a special KIND of toad that my professor went to South Korea to get.
