So the real question is, what am I still doing up at 2:30am? The answer is, I spent over four hours tonight on the phone with various people having serious, philosophical discussions. Topics ranged from homosexuality and social injustice to prehistoric cave art and its reflection (or lack thereof) in my sister's personality.
I have know Eliz for a long time. I have called her many things, but never have the words "primal" or "mysterious" ever crossed my mind. Eliz cannot be mysterious I'm certain and I think I would laugh if she even tried to pull of primal. Hahaha! I'm laughing at the thought of it.
It occurs to me now, that none of this has actually answered my initial question. But that's okay because I have decided it was rhetorical. I'm going to bed now. Gute nacht.

I don't do "awe".

I took the art test too. :)
Here I am:
 |
If I were a work of art, I would be Claude Monet's Waterlilies. I am soft and gentle, but very colourful. Although based in reality, I look at the world through a filter of impressions which shape how I see things. Splashes of light help to define my presence and bring an endearing quality. Which work of art would you be? The Art Test |
All in all, a rather pleasing analysis. Heh Heh.

I have decided to hate Tuesdays. They should be my easiest days but they aren't. I always have something to do.
Anyway. Orgo lab is done essentially, I just have half a lab report to turn in by tomorrow afternoon and that's it. Done for the semester. I took the pseudo-final today. It sucked.
I am so delighted that this is the last week of classes. I can't believe how fast this semester has gone. It's unreal. Winter Break can't come soon enough, though. This has been the toughest four months of my life. Except for maybe the first four months I was on chemotherapy... but even then, at least I could sleep whenever I wanted to.
I'm glad you like the VPD, Eliz. No one in my bio lab was more excited than I to cut into that fetal pig last week. :) I don't know why, but poking around the internal organs of a pig is one of the most entertaining things I have ever done. It's probably some form of psychosis but it will serve me well in vet school I'm sure.

Well, I now understand the bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction of an alkyl halide. Sort of. It is dependent on the concetrations of both the nucleophile and the halide.
If that made sense to anyone please let me know.
Hey, want to do a Virtual Fetal Pig Dissection? It is actually quite cool. If you like that kind of thing.

I LOVE the Patriots. :) I wish I could have seen the game but it was a very pleasant surprise to come back from my concert to find that the New England Patriots had upset the New York Jets.
And next week, on their home field, they'll take Cleveland. No question.
My concert went well, by the way. I'm glad Wind Ensemble is done for the semester. It's one less thing to worry about. And it's nice to have my Thursday night back.

I'm cured! :) It is so good to be healthy.
I had a most fabulous night last night. It was the most fun I have had in a long time and I am still basking in the memory this morning. And the funny thing is, most people would not think it was anything special. I went out to dinner with a couple friends and then walked around Harvard Square for a little while. That's all. But the "who" is what is important. Adila and Tasha and Koosh primarily, although there were others. The four of us have not hung out together... all semester I don't think. I miss them all so much, especially Adila whom I rarely see. It was perfect.
I really needed it, I think. I've been starting to get bogged down in school stuff and stressed out. Everything seems kind of drab. I guess all I needed was a good dose of what made last semester so incredible.
But anyway. I actually got up before noon today so I am going to be productive. My room needs some serious cleaning and I have to plan out how I am going to study for my biology final. I NEED A PLAN!!! Otherwise, I will fail. And that would mean rethinking all of my other plans to date. And I think, that would piss me off. But I'm too happy right now to have thoughts like that. I'm off to clean my room!

Still waiting for Sudafed to kick in before I begin my lab report. My last orgo lab is today. The word around the orgo community is that the whole procedure takes about an hour and a half. I am so excited. More sleep for me.
Andrew, I like the new look. The colors are better definitely. Oh and where did you get that photo of me anyway? I don't even know when it is from.
Oh yeah and I can't BELIEVE no one called to tell me about the Star Trek Weakest Link!!! I am most disappointed, especially since I was sick, I really could have used a chance to heckle William Shatner. That alway makes me feel better. But oh well. Time to do work.

Okay, so I've been out of touch for a couple days, mostly because that cold I mentioned actually turned out to be the flu. I spent all yesterday wandering around in daze, actually going to classes and work and various other obligations and spent all last night, from about 4:30pm on, in bed, somewhat delirius with fever, and just all round miserable. It's been awhile since I was that sick.
So I slept through both of my morning classes today and now I'm up and feeling... okay. I think the fever is gone at least and taken all the muscle aches with it. Now I'm going to attempt to write my orgo lab report. Wish me luck.

I have a cold. It's making me angry.
The poor grade on my bio midterm is also making me angry. I studied a lot for that exam and it was my poorest showing yet. I find that very discouraging.
My grade is still salvagable though. I just have to be perfect on the final. I think I'll start studying now...

What a game. :) I thought the pouring rain was a nice touch.
You have to admire Bledsoe, I think. Even though he's probably pissed off at Belichick,and even though he is probably through with the Patriots, he still cheered on his team and congratulated Brady during the game. Also, he is really cute, especially when he smiles.
Anyway. I'm on duty tonight, which will probably be good. It will get me away from my TV at least. I've been deprived somewhat and have cravings. I love visiting family in New York but it is really hard to watch what I want to watch on TV there. I was brought up to respect my elders, and that includes relinquishing control of the remote.

Just a quick note. I'm here at my Aunt Linda's house after a really nice brunch. Thanksgiving was great and i have been thoroughly relaxed. Needless to say, I've gotten no work done. Oh well.
We're heading home today. Hopefully I'll get to catch a glimpse of Eliz and Andrew before I head back to Brandeis. I could really use a couple more days of vacation. Sigh.

I had such a good time eating dinner with the Massell Reslife Staff last night. The food was good, the conversation was great... it is such a cool thing when you have a boss who can be a hard-ass on the job but still know how to chill out and separate work from social time and be a friend.
However. The problem with eating a huge meal in the evening and then getting up at 7am is that I am now SO HUNGRY! The only thing I have to eat in my room is some left over lasagna from last night... not exactly breakfast food. And who knows where my dad is?
So anyway. If anyone feels like sending me food via mail, plane, transporter beam... whatever, it would be greatly appreciated. I would need it within the next ten minutes.

Wow, I just ate a whole lot of food. It was very good. Now I just don't feel like packing. Packing sucks.
The Chad Mitchell Trio cracks me up. They're so weird. The Kingston Trio is pretty weird too. Now that I know Spanish a little better I can translate the lyrics to Coplas literally and my translations are quite different than the Trio's. One of the verses is actually about riding a mule. I don't quite get it.
My dad is a freak. I mean, he's great. I am extremely grateful to him for agreeing to come pick me up tomorrow instead of making me take a bus from So. Station. However, only a freak would get SO excited about leaving at 5 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING to drive to Brandeis. But hey, if it means I don't have to set foot in downtown Boston on the day before Thanksgiving, I'm happy.

Okay, so I was struck by inspiration (and procrastination) and put up the last of the Maine Speech Lessons. I could probably write ten more but I think that would begin to look pretentious.
Enjoy!
Tuesday, November 20, 2001. 03:53 p.m.
Yay!!! Classes are over until Monday. I cannot WAIT for Thanksgiving. No work, no professors, no... people. No wait. There will be more than enough people at my grandparents' house... but as much as I love Brandeis people, and I do, I really do love Brandeis and its inhabitants, I need a BREAK.
Does anyone else think it's the coolest thing in the world that I only have one orgo lab left this semester?
New Maine Speech Lesson is up. Just three more to go now. I know you are all just dying to know what they are.
For the record, if anyone objects to anything I put up here, or at least differs with my opinions, feel free to email me at suz@brandeis.edu and submit your objections.

Big foot? What big foot? Where???

*sigh* Well, at least it wasn't a slaughter. The Patriots fought admirably against the number one offense in the NFL and made the Rams work for their 24 points.
They certainly weren't kidding about Marshall Faulk. That man is inhuman. And Kurt Warner is, of course, very impressive.
What do I think? I think that if Bryan Cox had been in the game Faulk would have had a few more unpleasant surprises.
