i am bored. i've been in my room doing homework for about three hours now, and i just need a break. although, part of my homework consists of reading fast food nation which is very interesting and good. quite a page turner. i have to write a book review on it and try to get it published. we will see about that.
things have been good lately. time is going by quickly - especially for it being winter! this past weekend i went and saw the pistons play the magic at the palace. it was fun. they were up by 20 for most of the game, so it wasn't very exciting, but still fun to be there. i really don't like watching sports on t.v. but when i watch sports that i do enjoy (hockey, tennis, soccer, bball) in real life, they are so exciting.
speaking of sports, i'm playing intramural basketball this year with some girls. we had our first official game last night and we won. 31-28. it was a close one! they were up by ten at one point! i had a lot of fun playing even though i felt like a smoker and like i might pass out for most of the game. apparently all this working out i have been doing still can't prepare me for running up and down a basketball court for forty minutes straight. anyway - i'm very glad we decided to do this, it's a blast.
i'm really enjoying this semester. all of my classes are great. most of them are pretty unconventional in that there are no "exams" but instead projects, papers and self evaluations. so that's nice. however, most of the projects are due at the end of semester with no real guidelines - so i feel like i should have started them by now - but of course, i have not. oh well, i'll make it work.
i saw across the universe last weekend. it was good! i mean, it was really cheesy. but, as a real beatles fan i loved it. and i've had the beatles stuck in my head ever since. (read: journal entry title).
someone fucked up our dryer. threw a can of white paint into it and turned it on. now we have to tell our landlord and figure all of that out. it's a real shame. you open up your house to people, to try and celebrate something great, like maura's birthday, and this is what you get. it's really too bad.
with each new paragraph i start i realize that i really have nothing to say. it's been a pretty typical semester. i'm already ready for spring. i want to ride my bike. it's going to be a while though. i'm looking forward to going to chicago for zo's 21st birthday. something to look forward to.
okay - lame. sorry. hopefully you all have more interesting things to say then me to capture my attention.
peace,
mollie
