The Past

The previous entry was written by my evil alter ego, Zsa-Zsa. Muahahaha. She's gone now. But the pain in my back lingers. (I blame Dad. I got some messed up genes, dude.)
I'm going home in 8 days! Woohoo!!! I'm am also bringing Tasha and Luda with me and we're picking up Kali and her friend on the way. It will be a very exciting little road trip. And very crowded in my little compact car. Oh well. Much fun will be had by all... or they will feel my wrath.
Now I really AM going to study.

I've been very introspective lately... and retrospective... if that makes sense. It's hard to tell at this point being rather exhausted. Basically I've been dwelling a lot on the past, wondering why I did certain things and how I'd do them differently now given the opportunity. I'm not regretful... the exploration is, I think, actually driven by a recent sense of empowerment and satisfaction with my life. I am interested in how much I have changed since being at college... and even since being off chemotherapy.
I realize that a public Weblog is no place for such investigation but I thought I'd share these thoughts now and if anyone is actually interested in hearing anything else on the topic he or she can... well never mind.
The real reason I'm blogging right now is because I haven't yet mustered the strength to stand up from my computer and go finish studying. I hurt my back over the weekend and I just pulled it again sitting down so moving in any way is not really a pleasant option at the moment. So, I apologize to anyone who didn't really want to read any of this... but I'm kind of self-absorbed at the moment so I don't actually care.

What?

Congratulations to the Patriots. It was a complete pass, damnit, everyone just shut up about it.
Actually I slept through most of the second half, waking up just in time to see them reviewing the controversial play. Granted, the Patriots cannot really claim credit for the win, it was Chicago that shot itself in the foot considering the way they stuffed the Pats during the first half. But whatever. I firmly believe the Patriot are a better team and I'm just happy they're finally back above 500. Of course, next week against against Oakland could possibly set them back again but I am feeling rather optimistic at the moment.
I wish I was as optimisitc about my physics homework...

Well, Kate has gone back to Maine. It was a very fun weekend. :)
Now I have to get some serious work done. Physics mainly, but I should also work on my evolution project and orgo.
After Thanksgiving (less than three weeks away now) I will have TWO DAYS of regular classes and one study day before finals. My last final is December 10th... one month from TODAY. I don't know whether to be excited or completely freaked out because I have soooo much work to do... probably a little of each...

I am very sleepy. But I thought I'd blog since I haven't for a few days. I'd like to go on record and suggest that Kali get on the bandwagon and join the blogfest. Just my humble opinion.
I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine last night. I think I need to stop talking out of my ass to people. When it gets really late, and I get over-tired and hyper, I start saying things that kind of sound good but have no real basis in fact. But people actually listen to me which is fun so I keep doing it. One of these days someone is going to catch me at it and make me look sufficiently moronic. The worst is when I start psychoanalyzing people... and they actually take what I say to heart. It's usually at that point when I freak out and confess that I actually have no idea what I'm talking about. And I feel dumb. But it was still a fun conversation.
I think when one rambles aimlessly on the internet it is a sure sign of sleep deprivation. I'm going to take a nap.

There is a really really drunk guy, dressed in drag, vomitting loudly outside my room who, earlier this evening, asked me whether or not he and his friend should go to the party as Adam and Eve (i.e. naked) or as Nancy Kerrigan and Tanya Harding. Due to the cold, they went as the latter(hence the cross-dressing).
I do love Halloween.

I saw Ben Folds and Dar Williams in concert last night... it was AMAZING.
I have never been a huge fan of either but Ben Folds especially was soooo much better live. It was the best live performance I have ever seen. I had so much fun!!! I can't get over it.

Today has been kind of mediocre so far. Though I didn't do as badly on my bio quiz as I thought and I still don't know what I got on my orgo midterm, I have been feeling kind of... blah. The effects of the unfortunate attack of allergies I had while home are still lingering causing sinus pressure, sneezing and a generally icky feeling. I also feel like I got nothing accomplished last week. Granted, I had a lot on my mind, but I hate having to make excuses to people. And of course I have a lot to catch up on this week but I just don't feel motivated to do anything... which is probably why I'm skipping lab lecture to sit in the library and blog. (I also registered for classes and responded to several important emails).
Anyway, I have to be back at work in 15 minutes for another hour. Then I can go back to my room and curl up in front of Charmed and read about the physics of collisions. :) Yummy.

Back at school after a sad but comforting weekend. It was good to see the family... and I mean the whole family, at least on my father's side.
It was also good to talk to Kate, now safe and sound back in the States. :)
Thank you, Elise, for the banana bread. It was delicious. :)
And to the New England Patriots... I have nothing to say.

The world's best sleep agent... organic chemistry. I know I have to study damnit. But every time I sit down to do it I fall asleep!!!! What the hell is wrong with me???
I am quite excited Elise is coming down to see Ben Folds and Dar Williams next week. :):):) Anyone else interested? Tickets are only $7 but they're going fast!

The Maine Speech Lessons
Lesson 10:
Attempting to mimic a "Maine accent" is a good way to get your ass-kicked.
Lesson 9:
An "Italian Sandwich" doesn't include anything remotely Italian.
Lesson 8:
If you hear Mainers mention "Angus" or "the independent on the motorcycle", they're referring to the governor.
Lesson 7:
If you hear a Mainer refer to "The County" he or she is referring to Aroostook County, the one that comprises about a third of the state.
Lesson 6:
Mainers are NOT Bostonians. We like our R's and are generally happy to pronounce them. R's at the end of words can be softened occasionally but are rarely dropped completely.
Lesson 5:
The town Calais is pronounced "Cal-us" not "Cal-ay". No one is sure why but it is best not to question.
Lesson 4:
There is only one kind of clam chowder in Maine.
Lesson 3:
The word "wicked" is an acceptable substitute for the word "really" (in moderation) and has no implicit connotation, positive or negative.
Lesson 2:
The town of Bangor is prounounced "Bang-gore" not "Banger".
Lesson 1:
The word "Ayuh" is an appropriate answer to any question.
