oh man, i am so ready for spring break. they always time it perfectly so that just at the point where you're tearing out your hair and screaming about how you can't take it anymore, you get a break. it's wonderful.

only two hours until we leave! hopefully we'll all make it back without getting stabbed, but in any case it should be a wonderful trip

because i am lame, i have spent both friday and saturday nights doing homework. this is especially heinous because i have accomplished almost nothing - seriously, i have never poured so many hours into a paper with such an epic lack of results ( Read more... )

so a whole bunch of great bands are playing in los angeles in the relatively near future, and i'm sad because i don't know if i'll be able to make it to any of them: the new amsterdams, the loved ones, cold war kids, tokyo police club, bad religion, say anything. i also am going to miss ANOTHER weakerthans tour because they are apparently too cool ( Read more... )

yikes, two papers in two nights. i think i need to spend this weekend sleeping and reading newsweek, because i am extremely behind schedule on both fronts. it seems awfully early in the semester for me to be doing such a dreadful job managing my time, but i suppose i shouldn't be surprised ( Read more... )

i'm so stoked to be back at college. there's not too much work at the beginning of the semester, so i've spent a lot of time sleeping and hanging out. the only thing that sucks is how absolutely dreadful the weather has been (rain and cold all week, it's terrible ( Read more... )

i finally went skiing today! it was so wonderful that i'm kind of furious at myself for not just shelling out to buy a pass. the best part was that because it's a weekday, the only people on the mountain were us and the GMVS kids, which meant that we could bomb down any trail as fast as we wanted without having to worry about mowing down ( Read more... )

i went to visit u-32 today, which was a bizarre experience. i was struck by how completely normal it felt to be back; i guess i haven't changed that much in, what, seven months? in some ways i'm still surprised by the fact that i'm not in high school anymore; i'm one of those pretentious college kids who always seemed so achingly cool when i was ( Read more... )

i spent most of today in new hampshire, volunteering for barack obama. we knocked on doors and called about a zillion people. unfortunately, they had us talking to all the people who hadn't expressed any interest in obama, so most of them either failed to answer the phone/come to the door or went on indignant tirades about how positively rude it ( Read more... )
