(no subject)
I have a cold.
Last night, we went to a black and white party for the synchronized skating team (I still can't believe Erin lives with them. Honestly.). One of my tutees is a skater; she looks exactly like Claudia Shiffer. No joke. Other friends were at the drag show, but poor Hana got kicked out of the bar. The bouncer came up to her when she was sitting down by herselfand said, "You can't sleep here." She said, "Ok, I'm not sleeping." And he insisted that she leave and escorted her out personally. What?!?! So we went with her dancing at 45east.
We pregamed with Peppermint Patty shots: you pour chocolate syrup in your mouth and then take a shot of peppermint schnapps. It's really good; I recommend.
2 midterms this week. I have to catch up on reading. Joy.
Oh! Valentine's Day! The former president of Poland is coming (there's a Polish consulate in the building at the top of my street........don't ask why, I can't figure it out) to speak that day. So that's hot. Or I could make it ValenCIA Day and reminisce all day long and drown any lingering sorrows in Franzia sangria.
Kayti and I just went to Muscle Works class. I'd never been. So there are like 12 props around you (aerobics step, stretchy tubes, dumbbells, huge rubber balls, etc) and this tiny girl prompts you through toning stuff. She says, "c'mon girls, squeeze! six more: 8,7,6,5..." and I wonder if she can count. She also says, as we hold weights above our faces while lying down, "bend your elbows, bring your forearms down and then up until you can see the weight with your eyes." What, with my eyes? Not my clavicle? These sorts of things plus the fact that the class was very rough have not made me happy this afternoon. I have to do 1 toning class a week for this stupid Fitness Challenge, plus 3 other classes. If I do 4 classes each week, I get entered into a drawing each week, and if I do all 4 WEEKS, I get entered into the drawing for a free class pass next year. Plus, I hopefully will be svelte and hot at the end.
The search for apartments and internships in Chicago continues. Marissa and I are pretty pumped. It reminds me of planning our EuroMay Adventures last year. Chicago Adventures. We be city wimmen.
