Aaack! Look at that - my icons on the left! I've gone thru all the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac, plus the cat, and now I'm up to the onigiri. At this rate I'm gonna run out of icons and will have to go to the fish (Uo-chan) and the flower (Hana-chan). Eek.

Bena, Jenn and Trang came to my room to visit me but I ended up spending like 15 minutes in the bathroom while they hung around @_@ how embarassing! Sorry guys!

Are you all right?!?! Holy cow, your eye problem sounds AWFUL! *Does* it affect your vision? ::shudder:: I hope it stops bleeding soon... and good luck with those job apps. Ouchie ouchie.

Wednesday, October 22, 2003 08:21 p.m.

Soooooo sleepy... sooo tired... I realized eariler today that I was devoting 6 hours of this day to work work work work (as in, job work). GEHH. The usual 2 hours working for my boss, then a videography job that went LONGER than it was suppose to (egad, someone stop the garrulous people - their presentation was interesting and all, but what part of "20 minutes each" do they not understand?), and now I'm substituting for someone who helped me out over the weekend. Dagnamit - Wednesdays are suppose to be EASY for me... *shiku shiku*

May I just say that your update is friggin' brilliant... and you made me laugh. In the library. While on duty. Can't be a good thing. But dude, must respond. With BULLETPOINT. Ha ha.

- Does Chrissy still go by that name? I thought I heard her referred to as Christine or Christy. Could be I'm losing my hearing.

- You're bastardizing New Yorkers for *not* checking your ID? Are you mental?

- Speed Limit 55: Dude, you should drive thru merry ole West Virginia. Smack dab in the middle of the Appalachians, you get a 70 MPH limit, amidst coal trucks carrying tons of coals at a time. Not to mention it's Road Kill Galore.

- Meatloaf: Huh?

- Boston: Hell yah! But I don't care about the Yankees / Red Sox. What the hell is a Sox, anyway?

- Jack in the Box: You're kidding, right? Actually I've always been amazed at the lack of Wendy's and Burger Kings up here in Massy. But then, we're losing them in West Virginia. Must be a dying breed.

Laa, laa... today is hell, tomorrow might be worse, especially since it might snow tonight. Snow. Friggin' SNOW. Massachusetts, I hate you sometimes!

Tuesday, October 21, 2003 10:38 p.m.

GEEZ! This one file I'm downloading is a whoopping 2 gigs. Hmm. Should I continue it? It's the series that drove MJ loopy back sophomore year when she watched it for that Japanese course she took (you might remember this). I just spent like 2 hours cleaning out my harddrive and it's already nearly filled again. Hmm.

Tuesday, October 21, 2003 07:45 p.m.

He's younger than me too. CREEPY!

Um... so yeah, this is the guy playing Tuxedo Mask. Looks too normal here, huh? And it does indeed bug me that these crazy producers/directors are forcing kids younger than me to DRESS UP like... flashy cosplayers. I would be so scarred for life if I was forced through that. X_x

Tuesday, October 21, 2003 01:18 a.m.

'Nuff said.

No, I take that back, not 'nuff said. I need to find one of Tuxedo Mask...

Monday, October 20, 2003 11:18 p.m.

So... to update the past weekend...

I saw my mom and my Emo and my cousin in Boston this past weekend - it was okay. I was the only one there who couldn't speak Korean so of course I didn't understand what they were talking about the entire time. I was also the one not really into shopping, but I made the biiiiig mistake of telling my mom I *thought* I needed winter clothes - so the three of them drag me shopping in Copley and Prudential to all these very very very expensive stores and I think they thought I was a little off my rocker for not wanting such nice clothing. Copley and the Prud house stores that sell clothing that are way to expensive and not in any way practical, especially for Boston weather... Mom finally bought some sweaters that were kinda forced on me... I mean, it was nice to see them and all, especially since I haven't seen my cousin since she entered boarding school, and I don't want to begrudge my mom and aunt an opportunity to spend time together, but I was kinda miserable over the not-able-to-understand-Korean part. It really frustrates me, to tell you the truth - I was really unhappy during dinner. I guess I just felt frustrated that night.

But, on a much more recent note... I've seen the first liveaction Sailor Moon episodes like 3 times now, and the first time you see it, everything is glaringly awful, overdone, cheezy, unbelievable, etc... but after seeing it 3 times, I'm ACTUALLY BEGINNING TO THINK IT'S NORMAL. And Tuxedo Mask, who seemed SO WRONG at first glance, is... slowly growing on me. I'm actually anticipating when his identity will be revealed and when he and Moon will actually hook up! THAT'S what I'm looking forward to =D

The fire chief of Bates just emailed me asking me to "remove my cup of candy from the hallway" because it's a fire hazard. WTF? I'm in a mean, cruel mood at the moment... can people really be so stupid as to email the wrong person over a lousy cup of candy? I don't even frickin' LIVE in Bates.

Monday, October 20, 2003 11:15 p.m.

Good grief. Pitas had another break-down. All of the updates for like the past 2 weeks went kaput, so here they are condensed again for your enjoyment into one update:

Friday, October 17, 2003 07:02 p.m.

Ohhhh yes, what did I tell you what did I tell you... Sensee gave us back our exams today, and she made it very very clear that she was very disappointed with my performance on the exam. Thank god for credit-non. But I think I'm actually at the point where I shouldn't worry about getting credit or not, I think I need to worry about actually passing or failing - because if I don't pass 231 then I can't do 232 next semester, which I would SO rather do than 231 (because then I'll have the professor I had for the past two years).

But you know, I so totally don't care that I flopped it - because I aced that novel paper and the astro exam, and I'm really just not worrying about Japanese, although these constant conferences with sensee make it kinda harder to just gloss over.

Ahhh, another Friday night and I'm keeping myself locked in my room to do work again. Boo.

Thursday, October 16, 2003 10:35 p.m.

You know what I really really really want now? A poster of him!

That's right, Jonathan Crombie - aka Gilbert Blythe in the Anne of Green Gables miniseries. OK, so call me weird, but lately I've been having a Jonathan/Gilbert high lately and have been scouring the internet looking for stuff on him - but images or info on Jonathan/Gilbert aren't easy to come by. I have the first two miniseries on tape at home and I basically watched all of the Gilbert scenes and fast forwarding through everything else (heh heh).

Jonathan Crombie does a lot of theater in Toronto, apparently... Anyone interested in a road trip to Toronto?!?! =D

I also wish I had a poster of this image. Dammit, if only the plotter at Knapp was still working... you know how I looooove Haku...

Thursday, October 16, 2003 05:47 p.m.

Things to go "Huzzah!" over:

1. Got the Astro exam back - very happy with grade. Huzzah!

2. Got Novel paper back too - also very happy. Huzzah!

3. Did NOT get back Japanese exam - HUZZAH!

4. Did nothing but watch Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi in Japanese. Huzzah!

5. Actually managed to stay awake during Novel. Wow, a can of Coke during class really did help. Huzzah!

6. Fumoffu episode 6 (part 10) came out today. Huzzah!

7. Won't have to work full day Saturday - Bocchan's agreed to cover the afternoon, so I can either go to the Head of the Charles or meet Mops in Boston. Huzzah!

Dammit, I'm forgetting something... or maybe I've already mentioned it. Anyway, despite yesterday's dread about today, today ended up not being so bad. I really need to think about bringing Coke with me to any class I might doze off in (or at least some can of soda).

Thursday, October 16, 2003 05:44 p.m.

How dare you say I never update my blog!! Of COURSE I do!!! Nyaaaaah!!

Wednesday, October 15, 2003 04:50 p.m.

This has to be the greatest fortune cookie I've ever had. I got it while at a new Asian restaurant with my mops and naturally I had to show it to her:

"Failure is the mother of success."

Heh heh.

Wednesday, October 15, 2003 04:15 p.m.

But - HUZZAH! I just opened the Borders certificate my Cleveland sister sent me. Yayness~! Thank goodness THAT didn't get stolen - I really wanna go out to Borders this weekend now! Stupid job, stupid job.

Wednesday, October 15, 2003 04:10 p.m.

OH OH OH and get this. Last August my mom told me she wasn't planning on coming up to Boston October 18 for a wedding she had been invited to. So guess what she tells me at home? She's friggin coming X_x and plus my aunt and my cousin will be dropping by that same weekend too... and of course she doesn't tell me this until AFTER I CLAIMED AN ALL-DAY JOB ON SATURDAY WHICH IS THE SAME FRIGGIN DAY AS THE HEAD OF THE CHARLES. God DAMmit!

Wednesday, October 15, 2003 03:45 p.m.

I've been back for 2 and a half hours and I WANNA GO BACK HOME ALREADY. :_:

I just found out I'm going to miss the Head of the Charles this year. DAMMIT.

Wednesday, October 15, 2003 03:20 p.m.

This was me Friday night after watching Rurouni Kenshin:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

HOW could they (the animators) do that to me?!?! The last tape I had ended RIGHT before Kenshin's showdown with Shishio, and it irritated me to no end, because I thought I would FINALLY finish the Kyoto arc... And then I tune into Cartoon Network thinking their run of Kenshin might be near where I just finished, but no - that episode was the END of the Kyoto Arc and Kenshin and Shishio were already done fighting. YARGHGGG.

This was me and my mom, also on Friday night:

Mom: [mumurs something]

Me: What?

Mom: Nothing.

Me: Whaaaat?

Mom: Nothing!

Me: [noticing this is bugging her] Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Mom: NOTHING!!

But, ahhh, now I'm back at Hellesley and am not enjoying it so far... As much as I would like to bitch about my trip to Dr. Doom's (aka my orthodontist) and how he keeps adding wires and other shit to my poor teeth, I would SO rather be at home right now than having to deal with stuff that's been waiting for me all weekend.

Like, for example, having to report that the package of cookies my Cleveland sister sent me were stolen. Uuuugh, there's actually a thief in my dorm - the police officer said I was the third person from Caz today reporting something stolen. Well, it's probably way too late for the cookies, and I probably couldn't eat them anyway (thanks to Dr. Doom), but it still really bites. I've read the complaints on Caz's conference and wow, this person has sunk really low to steal from so many people. One girl also had a birthday recently, and one of the presents she was expecting was from a grandmother who died the previous week - how awful is that, someone stealing your dead grandmother's birthday gift to you?! And I had to keep calling my sister asking info about the package so I could relay it to the officer... Well, it would be a nice sort of justice if the cookies had nuts in them and the thief was allergic. No, no, am not going to be that spiteful.

But blech, I also have to keep putting up with the mad demands of my Japanese sensee. She keeps giving us assignments and wanting to schedule meetings with us that aren't in the syllabus - I feel like I'm being dumped on. Uuugh. And still have to finish reading Joseph Andrews and the second part of Henry IV... Why is it that every book Prof. Lee decides to study in class, I just can't stand?? Well here's hoping Joseph Andrews breaks the mold...

Friday, October 10, 2003 03:51 a.m.

Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit.

Friday, October 10, 2003 12:53 a.m.

Hey you, I just saw your birthday wish! Odd. I just took a peak in the archives and the original Zonk board was still there, with your post... Thankee thankee =D

Fuck. I am. So. Screwed. Normally I can bs my way pretty well through this prof's essays but sheeeeeeee-ite man, I can't do it!

Thursday, October 9, 2003 11:07 p.m.

Oh no... she's discovered Hip-hop. X{

Don't get it? Just look at what time I'm posting. And then think of my desire to move to another single...

Thursday, October 9, 2003 (back to realtime) 09:34 p.m.

And you know what was freaky about that job? (Which is over early now, because of a faulty tape that wouldn't play.) The first tape I got to work was about German media art so I was freaking out because I couldn't tell if there was something seriously wrong with the tape or if that was just the way these "artists" created their movie... The first tape was very surreal - it was all Mike Meyers doing his Sprokets skit - "Hello, I am your host Dieter" - plus it felt very... 1985.

Thursday, October 9, 2003 7:45 PM (Posted 9:34 p.m.)

I can tell I am not going to get any work done tonight - I am right now at this projection job I'm doing at Collins, and it's not an ordinary movie-showing event. It's some huge opening ceremony for some German video art installation... in other words, it's high-pressure, and even though I'm dragging my laptop around I can't really do any work for fear I'll screw up. Already had one scare so far, when the first tape I was suppose to play got a little chewed by the VCR so I had to tell the event coordinator to introduce the next movie while I fixed the first tape. And she's been signalling me things about the volume and lights throughout the evening so I have to be attentive while the videos are playing - no doing a Titus Andronicus paper now. Huuuuuh.

I totally failed my Japanese exam today, and I have a Japanese oral tomorrow... plus this paper is going to have to wait until I get out of here, and I need to pack... ohh ohh ohhhhhhh...

Thursday, October 9, 2003 2:40 AM (Posted 9:33 p.m.)

You can tell how much workload I have by how much I procrastinate. Look at all these updates!! X_x

Thursday, October 9, 2003 2:35 AM (Posted 9:32 p.m.)

Oh my Lord. How am I going to survive Thursday? I have three scheduled classes but I've already decided to ditch Lee's course so I can cram a bit more for Japanese... plus I've got a drumming lesson at 9:15 AM (which of course I don't want to postpone anymore), and a projection job at 7:00 which will last til probably 9:00... and SBOG office hours... this leaves me with free time only after I finish at 9:00. Not good not good - I still have this Shakespeare paper due Friday, plus I have to pack to go home. Haaaaargh.

At least I'm making decent progress on the paper, quantity-wise. I've gotten almost 2 pages tonight which is much better than my average of, oh, 1 page = days and days of procrastinating.

10/9 2:15 AM (Posted 9:30 PM)

OH MY LORD HE EMAILED HER HE EMAILED AIMEE~! HE DID IT!

Happy birthday to my mom!

10/8, 11:50 PM (Posted 10/9)

On second thought, I don't know how well I like this hairdo. If I were a boy, I'd be a Hanson. Harrrrum.

10/8 6:45 PM (Posted 10/9)

Andy here was commenting last night about his icon being the chicken. Well, technically you're the rooster (recognize them? They're the animals of the Chinese Zodiac plus the cursed baka-neko... Not that Bonzai Neko herself is a baka neko... oh now see what you've gone and done, you've made me all confuzzled). 'Sides, that's what you get when you DON'T UPDATE YOUR SITE FOR MONTHS.

10/8 6:30 PM (Posted10/9)

Pitas is not working right now. Feh.

Well, the Mystery of Asha's Identity has been figured out. Somewhat. It turns out it *is* a different Asha and not the one we know here at Swelles. Candy just had to get my curiosity all riled up. When I called the Asha I knew and asked her if she had ever seen my blog she was typical Asha and going "Yes... No... Maybe?" And then - suggesting that the person who had posted as Asha was really Kent??? You kidding Asha-I-know??? You know how disturbing Candy and I thought that was?

I finally got my hair cut today at Hair West... 10 inches, clean gone. The woman blow-dryed it very nicely but it was so bouncy when I left the salon, the first thing I had to do when I got back to the dorm was stick my head under the cold shower and lose the bounciness. Felt kinda bad doing so, though - the person who did my hair was very thorough and careful. And, since it was for Locks of Love (or Locks for Love?), I felt that my inability to tip this woman giving me a free cut was utterly pathetic of me (but I had just spent the last of my money at the post office earlier!!!). I had to borrow money from Jenn just to muster up a lame $2 tip - I felt so bad.

Jenn, by the way, ended up not getting hers cut - 10 inches off would have left her with very little hair, and the stylist didn't recommend Jenn doing it.

Two exams tomorrow, and a paper I haven't started due Friday. Then, fall break. Ahhh. Why do the professors always have to make the last few hurdles so miserable?!

Thursday, October 9, 2003 05:04 p.m.

Why is it, when I'm on duty at the SBOG office, people come in to ask for very silly directions but never to buy anything? Harumph.

Thursday, October 9, 2003 04:46 p.m.

Oh Christ. I just killed a mosquito with my bare hands. EW!

Thursday, October 9, 2003 04:36 p.m.

Pitas is back up! I have a whole bunch of updates but they're on my computer and I'm in the SBOG office now. So, very quickly: I think I did pretty okay on the Astro exam today and totally, utterly, happily failed on the Japanese exam. Oh well, prioritize, prioritize.

Oh and if I haven't gushed about this already, AIMEE-CHAN HEARD FROM HIM! I'm not going to say whooooo exactly ^_~ but certain some of you will know... Instead of "meddler" can't I get a nice title like "matchmaker" (although that's obviously not what I'm doing), or at least, "advocate" or "lobbyist"; I swear, I am NOT a meddler!

Oh, and my hair is gone now - I look like a Hanson. It's so short!

Tuesday, October 7, 2003 11:46 p.m.

Sucks to be you. =(

Ahh, I know poor Candy and Junie are unhappy about this... sorry guys! At least I'm glad to report that my sister in LA voted today, unlike my Cleveland sister who didn't vote back in 2000.

I totally wasted the later part of my evening by playing with the NEW MP3 PLAYER my sister in Rochester sent me!! =D How exciting!! It took me a while to figure out how to get the computer to read the player as an external drive but now that it works IT'S SO FRIGGIN' AWESOME!!!! I'd feel like dancing if I wasn't deathly afraid of a certain someone going around with a camera all the time - you suck you know that? =P

Just remember - if Truman could do it in 1948, and Ashcroft could get his ass kicked by a dead senator, then there's still hope yet for California...

Tuesday, October 7, 2003 12:15 a.m.

I <3 everyone

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes and the presents... Barnaby is now keeping Guster company, and the Ben and Jerry's are waiting in the freezer to be devour at the time they're most needed (like, Thursday morning at 5:30 AM while working on my Shakes paper). And all the pretty pictures and the poem have been put up on the wall - wai!! And for everything else... thank you thank you. =D

Monday, October 6, 2003 11:50 p.m.

WHY... :_:

Why is Hugh Jackman's new Broadway show SO EXPENSIVE? *breaks down sobbing*

Monday, October 6, 2003 04:15 p.m.

Got rid of the Zonk Board - I wasn't able to see if there were any messages added recently because of their bandwidth issue, so if you posted like yesterday sorry I didn't read it ^^;

I want to drop dead right now - I'm so sleepy... and Prof. Lee's course is probably the strongest sedative in existence... yawn...

Sunday, October 5, 2003 12:50 a.m.

Have been really digging Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Foo Fighters lately - am remembering how good they really are and getting back into listening them... OK, I'll really get back to astro now :_:

Sunday, October 5, 2003 12:46 a.m.

NO work done...

... at all. None. Dammit.

I partially blame you, Asha! Next time get liquored up in your own room >XP

This ergonomic keyboard is a little weird - I keep forgetting that I can use this instead of the keyboard on my laptop, since I still have to use the laptop's mouse...

Well we finally found the liquor store next to Stop and Shop. I think I must've been honked at about half a dozen times today -_-() stupid Masshole drivers.

Saturday, October 4, 2003 11:02 a.m.

I don't believe this chick...

So because Prism Jazz's rehearsal conflicted with my drumming lessons, I had to ask my instructor to push last Thursday's lesson back a week... but I have a projection job in Collins at the same time. I've been calling out the job asking for a sub because I really don't want to have to push my lesson back another week (that would make it a MONTH that I didn't have lessons!), but no one's been claiming so far. Remember there was this girl earlier in the semester, some newbie, who had claimed more than her fair share of projection jobs and then it turns out she wasn't even trained to do these jobs she had claimed, and I had to show her; and the first time we tried to meet so I could show her a room, she didn't show up. At all. So this same girl replied to my message asking what kind of job was it, and I told her digital; she then asked if digital was difficult, which of course reveals that she hasn't been trained in digital videos either. (RRRRRGH.) So I told her digital wasn't that much different from VHS, and we emailed each other back and forth, and then I asked if this meant she was able to take the job. And you know what she writes back?

"I can't, I have another job at the same time."

WHAT!! Why the hell didn't she tell me that in the first place?! I was getting my hopes up that this chick would be able to substitute for me since she was asking all these questions! Not only that but she's consistently revealed that she's taking on jobs she doesn't even know how to handle, AND she's a job-hog. AND she's a newbie, and already on my bad side. And trust me, it takes quite a bit and quite a lot of time to get on my bad side at work, yet she's managed to do so in less than a month.

*sigh* So, the search continues... I'm so depressed about this issue, I really don't want to miss another drumming lesson!!!!

Friday, October 3, 2003 03:47 p.m.

Hee hee

This was posted a while ago on Community, and it *is* an interesting picture... I could see the dolphins pretty well, ha ha.

Friday, October 3, 2003 03:32 p.m.

I feel like crap

What's wrong with me? I was feeling all clammy and shaky during Japanese today and Jenn and Izzy confirmed my forehead was hot. I had to call my boss and ask if it was okay not to come into work today (that's two days of work I've been a no-show - and yet my boss is still so understanding about it! She's so sweet). I never should have gotten that coffee from Schneider this morning, I think that contributed to my shakiness, but it's still been so cold up here lately and I'm still without winter clothes. Just one more week til I can go home and get some sweaters!

And am still depressed about not getting any mail. It's the norm for me not to receive mail for weeks on end but I've been expecting mail for so long now that I'm getting despondent. I've been expecting a package from my oldest sister for two weeks, it seems, plus my plane tickets from my mom (turns out she only sent them yesterday, not Monday like she initially said). It's the expectation of presents that make it so bad - I'd be fine probably if I wasn't expecting anything. Oh well......

Thursday, October 2, 2003 07:55 p.m.

Bummer, man

My drumming lessons were cancelled tonight. Stupid Prism Jazz - apparently they have the drum kit Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-9, so no drumming lessons for me, although they said they would start next week doing Tuesdays and Sundays, so at least I don't have to change my lesson schedules. Kitsu and the other girl who wanted to start drumming, Soo (or Sue?), came to meet my instructor and are going to start next week - hee hee, I've started a trend! =D

I coulda gone to the library or the Obs to do work since I'm free now, but man it's way too freaking cold out to go anywhere, ESPECIALLY the Obs, without more clothing... am going to stay in my room where they finally fixed the heater, and stay toasty warm.

Thursday, October 2, 2003 05:46 p.m.

stupid computer

I had a longish update all ready while hanging out in the SBOG office but just as I hit "done!" the stupid thing has a fatal error and closes the window - thus losing all I wrote. Figures. That computer in the SBOG office is on the verge of death - it must be Windows 95 or 98, it's so old. Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuursesssssssssssssss...

Wednesday, October 1, 2003 04:04 p.m.

no rest! none at all!

Lake Day is FINALLY over! And may I say I think we did an awesome job... I'm so dead right now, thank god I don't have Wednesday class, but I still need to go to a 7:30 AM training tomorrow (nooooooo)... Other than the stupid weather threatening to rain early in the day it was a great success, the pens, painted pots, and balloon guy were very popular, the president was surprised and pleased, people seemed happy... am too tired to type... so exhausted...

Wednesday, October 1 01:19 a.m.

I don't have to keep my trap shut anymore...

So yes, today is Lake Day. Go out and party people! But whaddeva you do, DON'T bitch to me that today is Lake Day... because some of the stuff they make us do to set up for this event can be tear-inducing to me. It was just chaotic at Schneider when all the Senators came after we SBOGgies had been there a while making posters to help us chalk and poster the campus... and some of the senators were quite frankly annoying me a little. Back at the dorm this one girl who was watching me and some of the senators put up decorations at the bell desk flipped when she found out what we were doing, and was all "I HAVE TO CALL EVERYONE! Dammit, why the hell is Lake Day today?!" to which I wanted (but didn't) to reply, "Thanks for ruining the surprise for them." Good thing I napped earlier today, the girl was pissing me off, and it was past 1 already... So yeah, I've known for about 3 weeks that today would be Lake Day and I haven't been legging it much but some of the SBOGgies have really been putting a lot of work into today because specifically it's a celebration of Diana's 10th anniversary as President of the college. Lordy I have to be there at 9 AM, which I guess isn't as bad as Spring Weekend last year. *And* I have to dress up as a stupid card (makes face) for some reason they wanted SBOG to dress up along with the theme, which is Wendy in Wonderland... But everything else about Lake Day is going to be cool ^_^ but I'm not going to say now so there will still be some surprises (despite that one blabbermouth girl at the bell desk).

And, now that it's The Day, I can finally post this complaint I wrote earlier... Oh and I should mention, I'm not a cat anymore, I'll be the King of some card. *shrugs*

9/26. Uggh, wadda day. There's been massive emailing among the SBOGgies about Lake Day which is coming up next Wednesday (Oct. 1). It's suppose to be top secret of course, and we're planning a big to do where the theme revolves around Diana Chapman Walsh as Alice in Wonderland, titled hence, Wendy in Wonderland. OK, so all the plans are sounding really cool and it's getting revved up amongst us but of course it's also gonna involve an insane amount of work on Wednesday (although, admittedly I haven't volunteered to do as much work as everyone else... but then, what can I do if most of the stuff requires a car to take you to stores that are off campus?), which is the same day Prof. Lee's essay is due. So the SBOGgie in charge, who holds the title of DOOCA (Director of On Campus Activities), sent us a panicking email involving the latest plans and details and mentioned at the very bottom about us SBOGgies finding costumes to wear on Lake Day.

COSTUMES?

I wanted to do a double take when I read that. What costumes?! No one ever mentioned dressing us as characters from Alice in Wonderland! I really really really wanted to gripe to someone publicly but alas I can't because, of course, Lake Day is a big secret (hence me gripping on the computer). I can't muster the money to pay for a costume - you know my financial situation already, I'm paying for drumming lessons! And even if we were to get reimbursed for costumes, I still can't afford the TIME since Lake Day is already taking up all of Wednesday plus I have that paper and other crap to worry about! And if I were to try and borrow a costume from one of my friends don't you think they're gonna get suspicious and then figure out WHEN LAKE DAY IS, thus ruining the surprise? So at the moment I really don't see any good way to solve this one unless one of the other SBOGgies have costumes they're willing to share.

The DOOCA is just gonna have to settle for a dazed Alice character under duress.
