"your tounge is really just an exposed muscle..."
ohoho, I just went to visit the chem lab for homework help, but there was no tutor in the chemistry lab which means that I don't have to do chem tonight! muahaha! and it started raining softly on the way home, which was soothing. although that means I have to do lots more chem tomorrow. Oh well. Thanksgiving weekend was very wonderful, we went home with Lexi on Wednesday and saw her sisters new horse and watched lots and lots of Lost and played catchphrase and slept a lot and played with Loki the dog and ate traditional Minnesotan food at her family's farm. And then on Friday we got to eat Thanksgiving dinner again with Raina's family and we had super delicious halla bread. I love being at a home with a family, even if it's not my family or my home. I hosted a birthday party for a girl named Ingrid which was adorable like whoa, and then went to the symphony, which begins my week of music, Black Keys on Wednesday and Nutcracker Thursday. They played lots of nice things including a wonderful Frank symphony with an English Horn, which I had never heard of before, and an adorable Weber piece that is supposed to be for piano. It was lovely but a little sad because it's not as earth-shaking an event as it used to be when I was little, and I don't get to wear a poofy dress and shiny shoes anymore. Also, our concert hall here in Minneapolis is strange and very mod, with cubes coming out of the walls at all angles. The rest of the weekend has been pleasant and fairly productive, it turns out that I don't really mind working so much as long as I can do it without feeling super-pressured, (and while watching The Office) which is good because finals are coming up really soon. Peter's coming to visit during the weekend when I would typically be holed up in my house doing mad work, which is bad because I will be super stressed pre-visit, but also not so bad because hopefully now I'll be super speedy and finish early and then have time to enjoy the last couple of weeks of school. And also to study for chemistry until my brain wilts with exhaustion.
Also, I have a new computer now, my Dell broke again and it was too expensive to fix it so I purchased a snappy new apple which has a camera built into it and weighs less than my paperback ethics text. I feel sort of like I betrayed my Dell, and also sort of like I spent a lot of money, but I think the new computer will grow on me and I'll get used to it eventually. Also, will make a decision this week r.e where to live next semester, very scary and sad to leave the little cottage. There is an on-campus apartment which would be nice but which would be more expensive than housing now (which is already expensive) and a lovely off-campus house which is so so so cheap but would mean living with unknown people a mile away from campus (which seems far). I think I am unfairly influenced by cheapness because of the recent computer purchase and because of a pending trip to Britain (which will now be over spring break instead of in summer? come to London, people who are abroad?). mmmkay more researching now. I'm excited to come home for winter, and to turn 21!
