Until october 19th or so (when student teaching begins and commences its owning of my soul), I only have class on tuesday and thursday each week.  My level of drinking and general debauchery for the year is already well out of control....I was drunk my first 6 nights of being here.  I rocked the IB on a monday night, something I haven't done since ( Read more... )
