So, this whole trying to be sociable things....definitely not worth it. I think I'll just stay in my little corner

Grr..why does no one in this entire freakin part of the country know how to work an air conditioner? It has to be about 95 degrees outside, but I'm sitting here in the lab shivering with goosebumps. I can't even begin to contemplate how much power its takes to keep a building this size at such icebox temperatures. Stupid south Texas.

Blah...the weekend's prospects for viable entertainment are frighteningly slim. Rachel and AJ are both out of town, and my Rachel is at a conference thingy in Dallas (what undergrad has to go to conferences, honestly? The girl is a cartoon i swear.) No one here seems to be answering their phones. So, to repeat, blah. Anyone who has the ( Read more... )

So, I finally saw Napoleon Dynamite for the first time tonight, after being told by just about everyone how immensely funny it was. At the risk of becoming (even more of) a social outcast, that was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. I spent the entire movie wondering when it was going to begin being funny. Of course, the fact that every ( Read more... )

Really lonely all of the sudden. Stupid Sundays.

So because I was silly enough to be efficient with my lab space and actually clean up some usable area, I now have to share my lab with some random French student. I was getting used to having my own space where I could listen to music and occasionally pass out in my chair. Plus, she smells really bad. She might have been cute if it weren't for ( Read more... )

Because I'm exactly the same person I was 5 years ago. I look the same, I think the same, I act the same. I still forget ( Read more... )

So finals are over! somehow I got an A in thermodynmamics, despite leaving 3 out of 9 qustions blank on the final. Oh yeah, I'm also quite intoxicated at the moment. But our downstairs neighbor just banged on the door and inquired if we were moving furniture around, so I guess its a good time to go to bed.

Just in case anybody was wondering, roller blades are not a viable way of getting around Austin, especially at 2 in the afternoon.
That is all.

It's been a good weekend. Not very productive, but fun and happy. Many thanks to all who called/wrote/in some other way coomunicated to wish me a happy birthday; it definitely made me feel loved. And in case anyone was worried, I did not go and get absolutely trashed, and am still safe and sound (although that is partly due only to the fact that ( Read more... )
