((happy birthday nick and char!))

despite not starting homework until roughly 1048p last night and completely studying all the wrong stuff for music theory, today was a good day. (hums ice cube's "today was a good day" to self.)

why? i don't really know. could just be that cloud nine kind of feeling that comes with an unexpected latenight phone call and a 99 on your summer reading essays to start the morning off on the perfect foot. not just the right one, the perfect one.

or it could be the fact that i got to spend the whole day in a toga. togas rock. if you've never worn one, you really need to find an excuse to.

last night corey ev dan and i went to the harvard dinner. lets just say... i'm never going to get in. eight or so undergrads and numerous harvard alums were present. the current student who sat at our table for a 1570 on his SATs the first time and spent the entire second semester of his senior year in the dominican republic, just for kicks. and because he could. because- gosh darn it- he was going to harvard. (he graduated from moses brown.) he told us about his roommate who is the world's fastest rubics cube solver (10 seconds eyes open, 30 seconds blindfolded after just 2 seconds of looking at the cube.) another one told us about his organic chem course... he was in the same class as the international chem contest winner for 2004. the test range of the class was from 3 to 99. yet another one told us about his friend who actually received 105% on one of his math finals because he found a more efficient way to solve one of the four problems on the exam than the professor.

dear ccri. please forgive me. we all make mistakes right? i was wrong to so quickly write you off. at $88 a semester, you'll help me to save my parents $8424 a year. let's be friends again. please? all my love, jess.

seriously though. i really should have listened to jon and not gone to the dinner because it only resulted in feeling dumb, inferior, and not worthy of even being in the same room as them.

psh whatever.

hey does anyone remember the jess that used to stay up hours trying to figure out her math homework? or study for that chem test? where the fuck is she? i had a physics test today and didn't even know about it until homeroom. test. i didn't even bother to bring home my calc book yesterday because i was so completely lost during class (i ended up doing that during my free, though... and i studied for physics during christian service...) but still... i think i'm losing what i'm most famous for- stressing out to the point where teachers have to tell me to calm down.

hah, this from the girl whose guidance counselor told her to take a mental health day last thursday.

back to esek hopkins tomorrow morning with ev and kevin. can't wait to see jibrelle. and boris. and both shaniquas.

thursday my parents are leaving for paris? guess who totally forgot they were even going away? i'm going to accompany them to boston (they are flying out of logan)- we only have the walkathon on thursday, and i don't even think the majority of seniors are bothering with it. and as much as i love walking 5 miles in the bitter october weather, i'd much prefer faneuil hall and quincy marketplace thankyouverymuch.
