you know what's pathetic? when you're in the lab, which is located right near a door, and you check weather.com to see what the weather is like. in baltimore. right outside your door. (ps yay snow!)

mental notes trip was fun. highlights: smooth trip down, got there way early, sound checked, wandered the streets of dc singing mental notes songs, made high school girls' day, sang with pitches, danced with ept test again, watched pitches and all-nighters (not bad), went to party (drivey = no drinky), got wicked lost in dc, stopped at ihop, chugged half a container of blueberry syrup, got home, went to bed.

sunday i made several vain attempts to get things done, with statistically insignificant success. we're talking 4 hours in the hac lab, then 3 more in the lab lab (that's like my new study-spot. nobody's there at night and i have lots of bench space and i'm AWAY FROM COMPUTERS) and what do i have to show for it. one problem from my thermo set. whoopee. it's not that the material is hard, it's just lack of focus. i sure will be glad when this semester's over.

monday was similar. [mental] eric and i are trying to make a new mental notes and other loser-types spot to hang out. we're kinda liking the corner in front of the libary. come by some time.

so i spent last night writing a scholarship essay (due tomorrow, by the way). then i took it to marc who said that i couldn't talk about any of the stuff i mentioned because it hadn't been published yet. also, he said i should probably write about my own project. so that's what i did tonight. (actually if you click that link, take a look at the video. it's pretty neat, even though really overdramatic. it's made for grad students who are looking at coming here.

dr. harden gave us a nice thanksgiving present by pushing our thermo homework set back a week. that was nice of him.

i have one class tomorrow. normally i have three classes on wednesdays. some teachers were nice and cancelled them. one class was not cancelled: the one that MEETS FROM 3:30 TO 5:00 PM! erg. (do you know how many internet etiquette laws i'm breaking by typing in all caps? well, just the one: don't type in all caps.)

but at least i get to sleep in til 3:30. :)

i'm not really looking forward to thanksgiving break. i mean yeah, it'll be the first time i've beem home since labor day (which is really really long for me) and to see my friends and family and all. i think what i'm really dreading is the inevitable pile of work that will come crashing down on me upon my return.

not only is next week babes in toyland hell week (kind of ironic...anyway...), but i've got mondo presentation, a p-chem lab and now a thermo problem set, then a biochem exam and a paper due the following monday.

see now you might be thinking: "wait, if the professor moved the problem set back a week, why not just do it now?" i'm thinking that too. my brain has a very clear answer to that. it just won't tell me what that answer is. obviously though, there is a very good reason for it.

my kinetics exam today was one of those where you look over the whole test and go: "fuck a duck". that's all i'll say about that.

if you ever want to MAJORLY procrastinate, and i'm talking hours here, go to www.isketch.net and play. it's really fun. especially so if you play in spanish, or another foreign language of your choosing.

also, the onion this week is really really good. especially the opinion section. v. good.

i'll probably be back tomorrow with more rapier with and wry social commentary. but for now i'm pooped.

***warning: this is gross, and the second mention of poo in about 3 entries.***

OH! speaking of that... my poo was not purple as i originally had indicated in my away message. i assumed it would be, but everything came out okay. now if you want to talk about poo changing colors, man! can we talk about fruity pebbles?

***enough shit-chat***

now scat!

(that's a poop joke, sir. that's poop joke number 2.)

(hey! number 2! that's poop joke number 3!)
