Alive at the Regenstein
Yup. 4 updates in a weekend. This means that I'm desperate everyone, which is further indicated by my presence here on the fourth floor at the Reg library.
So this morning I woke up at 8:45 (because I'm basically incapable of sleeping in anymore), swearing I would try to write something of the essay from hell. Instead, I ended up playing 3 games of freecell (all of which I won, by the way), while periodically checking my email and signing on and off aim. THEN I produced such awesome notes like: "colonist colonizes colonizer, colonizers colonizes the colonist." Since I had to meet someone at 11 on campus, I figured "why not just go write my essay at the Regenstein?"
A brilliant idea. The library doesn't open until 12 on the Sundays, so I was here EARLY. I was sitting in the, well, I guess vestibule of the library with the UBER studiers slobbering in a sprinter's pose, waiting to charge through the turnstiles right at 12 PM SHARP. So now I'm sitting on the fourth floor here, kind of cold, but kind of advanced on my essay.
The library: the intensity level increases with each level you go up. A-level, in my opinion, is the study group's, frat boys', and sorority girls' hang out where you can talk with a normal tone of voice without being dragged into the stacks to be stuck under one of the book shelves. This is also where people go to look like they're studying, but aren't really.
And so the fourth floor is quite different. I can almost guarantee that no one in here is updating their livejournal besides for me, mostly because there are only about 8 other people here and they all are sitting with books around them. And all of them look like those mermaids and mermen from The Little Mermaid who Ursula takes control of and have those big eyes and hunched over backs with emaciated bodies. Except these students don't have fins.
I don't understand what the point of my essay is, but I'll worry about that later.
So in between taking breaks, I was looking at some REALLY OLD emails I have. Most of them are surveys from 3 summers ago, stupid emails from people, and so forth. Nothing important like let's say my FAFSA pin number when I'd need it. The surveys are rather amusing, and they were fun to read, if pretty annoying to fill out sometimes. So here are some random answers to random questions and responses to emails
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend: no, all the good 45 year olds are taken. Maybe later
preffered wind speed: maybe like wooooooooooooooooooooooooosh mph. what is that about, 30-35?
favorite social class: the jolly rich man
Do you ever have to beg? Only with people better than me...so not often.
i remember when i was in 4th grade my teacher asked for different ways to express rain and i raised my hand and said angels peeing and everybody laughed. but i felt pretty dumb afterwards.
Have you ever been in a play? yeah. ooo once, i was even in one where i got to be a girl. it was the high point in my acting career. (<--Written by a girl, by the way)
PAPER BAGS ARE THE DEVIL
There are more, but someone just came up to me and I think he thought I was someone else. I didn't understand what he was saying either.
All right. 2 hours and 40 minutes is enough here. I think I'll go back to the dorm and write in the computer lab.
By the way, suddenly my phone decided to go on the cheapest plan ever: apparently, people call me and I don't even get missed calls anymore. It is functioning as a one way phone now. I can call people, they can't always call me. Leave me a voicemail or something. I'll get back to you next month.
