Suck much?
Ugh... it's raining really hard and it's cold and gross out, and I sat through my morning classes in a stupor. Amanda and I went to lunch, where, fortunately, we actually found a table -- people probably don't want to go out in the weather. Well, we were heading back to the dorm to lie down and read a bit -- it's so gross and the clouds are doing something weird... -- anyway, we get back and there are a ton of people standing outside the building. Some passing girls told us there was a fire drill. Oh boy. So we're standing out there in the rain underneath an umbrella and one of the Res Life people announces that it's not a planned fire drill, so don't blame them -- there's some sort of problem so they had to evacuate the building. Fabulous. So after about forty five minutes we got to come back in. The elevators are closed off so everyone had to take the stairs. I didn't care, because I'm on the sixth floor and usually have to take them anyway, but a lot of people were pissed because they had to walk up to the fourteenth floor, or whatever. A lot of people were also pissed because they wanted to catch the two o'clock ferry so they could catch trains and get home, but they'll have to catch later ones.
So I'm sitting here in my pajamas and I'm going to read The Shining -- we wanted to go out with Lindsay tonight and drink or whatever, but I am just not in the mood to even be around other people, let alone go out in the rain and be in a club with hundreds of them.
In other news, my dad and I had a really nice time last night. We first stopped at the cemetary to see if his stepmother's name had been put on the tombstone. It was really dark and windy and wet and we were squelching around looking for their grave and, horror of horrors, a lot of the newer graves were sinking in! Ugh... I mean, I don't usually have a problem with cemetaries in general, but I was feeling really morbid with the weather and everything, and all I could think about was the fact that we were walking on top of rotting bodies. And then with the graves sunk in in the shape of coffins.... oooh, it was soooo creepy. Then we couldn't find our way out, so we were driving around and we ended up in the older part of the cemetary. We passed a bunch of mosoleums and crypts, which really freak me out because there's no cement casing around those guys -- in horror movies they usually just climb on out. Bleeeech.
After that we went up to the mall. We shopped around a little bit, I got my eyes examined and a new pair of glasses, and we had dinner. He took me to Barnes and Noble (my home away from home) and I got the new Tamora Pierce book! I know a lot of people aren't really crazy about Tamora Pierce anymore, after she turned out to be a big bitch and all, but from about fourth grade to seventh grade I stopped reading because it was a taboo that I didn't want to carry to middleschool with me. But then I found one of the Circle of Magic books in the school library and it started up my love of reading again. And now, since this book is the continuation of the Circle of Magic series and the Circle Opens series, I'm really excited to read the new one. I wish I had the old ones here with me, so I could re-read them before I read this one. I guess I'll just have to rely on what I remember from the fifteen times I read them before.
