Carlos Guillen hit for a cycle last night.  That's a big deal.  It made me wonder what kind of day I would have to have to feel like that.  Would I somehow solve all of the problems of American public education?  And meet the perfect bearded man?  And find out that I will never have to take another standardized test again?   And find an actual solution to my grandparents' problems?  Would that feel like a cycle?  (((((I did just discover something pretty amazing that's making me smile like an idiot in Espresso Royale.  You can watch clips from ALL season of the Tigers from MLBtv.  However, there's no clip of Granderson's tying homerun against Cinnci.  I'm pretty much reliving the season, right now))))

I'm really not into this weather.  I hate to be a one-note song but this is a disaster for me.  I'm driving home tonight for a bit of escape.  Honestly, I need a good night's sleep tonight because tomorrow's going to be rough.  The MAC grads are coming back to talk about the fall and we're supposed to be split into groups based on where our placements are.  Unfortunately, Sarah and I do not have placements.  And that is really awkward feeling.  48 SMAC students have placements.  2 do not.  So I figured that if I woke up in a four hundred degree bedroom and trudged to that humiliation, I'd probably gouge my eyes out halfway through.

I really want to move to Alaska very badly.  Currently the high temperature in Anchorage is 62.  That sounds beautiful right about now.  I'd be wearing jeans and long sleeves perhaps.  I would not sweat just by sitting still with four fans pointed at me.  Sounds wonderful.

I might order my new laptop tonight.  I think that I know what kind I would want.  It's a pretty cheap Dell with lots of stuff on it.  And it's smaller and lighter than my current one.  I'm rather in love with Lindsy's MacBook but I could get the Dell without paying for 6 months which would help because I'd have more financial aid by then.

So I've been a very lazy SMAC student this week.  I bought the book for this week and for the fall but it cost a c-note.  So I took it back and got it from amazon for half that.  How can I do my reading if I don't have the book?  Looking like an unprepared asshole today is worth fifty bucks.  Elizabeth does it everyday with no monetary gain.  I really can't believe that I told a story about her not wearing a bra for her presentation when we were drinking Saturday night.  LP should know not to buy me my own bottle of wine I guess.
