What Have I Done?

I fell asleep trying to read an essay on Food Ethics after my Zumba class at around 9 pm and just woke up a few minutes ago.

Injury #2

I gotz da homework to do's so this shall be short.

"Dumbledore’s man through and through, aren’t you, Potter?"

Well.  What a week.  I feel like I just posted, but an entire week has gone by.

The South Will Rise Again

Look at how pissed off all the fans are. I love it.

Now is the Winter of Our Discontent?

So it's cold here, yeah?

Dobro Utro!

UPDATED: Inauguration Woo!

Well, today I went to the Inauguration.  It lived up to the flighty temptress that Dumbledore spoke of in Half Blood Prince.  Assuming said flighty temptress kicks you out of bed at 3:30 in the morning and keeps you in the freezing cold on hard plastic for 8 hours.  Which sounds like something a flighty temptress would do.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Howdy folks. Let's talk about my week.

Zumba, Yoga, Zumba

Hello all. Guess what? I've exercised three days in a row. I know, I know. Impressive for me.  It's not even a New Years Resolution of mine to get fit (If you were wondering, I didn't make any resolutions), I just have to get two PE credits finished before I graduate. I was only going to take one P.E. class this semester, but I realized that exercise like Zumba and Yoga are fun and pretty easy, so why not just exercise every day and get all my requirements filled? It's only an hour of my day. And it's pretty much in replacement of going on Tumblr, so I see it as an improvement of my time allocation. 
We'll see how long I last before I drop one. WE'LL SEE.

"Frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing"

The semester, for me, starts today.  My first decision of the semester was one I will be sure not to recount to my children: I skipped a class.

You fail only if you stop writing.

My name is J-term Derek.
I take my time after workouts. I have walked slowly from one end of campus to the other. I came in third place in a game of Settlers because seven of the ten development cards I drew were Knights. I have found time to go grocery shopping in town. I did no better in a game of Cards Against Humanity later on that same night. I once went to bed at 9:00. Another time, I slept in until 10:00 (I have also woken up at 6:30, though.) I have gone an entire day without doing homework. I play Mario Cart and Return of the King on Gamecube, and NHL on Xbox. I have talked to friends, loved poems, and written short narratives that make my classmates laugh.
You may have heard of me.

BLAAAAAH-gging

I'm back at Bates College, and I've been taking classes for about...three days now even though it feels like a lifetime. A short lifetime, though. It's important to specify. It feels like the lifetime of a baby that dies after three days. Okay, it seems we're off to a good start, so let's reconvene after the jump.
