feeling a bit out of sorts tonight (what else is new, though? feeling out of sorts is practically becoming my natural being of sorts) this weekend started out wonderfully but is now just levelling out...
firstly, allie and i blew through the week's experiment and were done by 330, much to the surprise of dr. breen. feeling all proud of ourselves, we commenced christmas shopping at the campus bookstore then late-lunched at slavin (hooray for free oyster crackers!) there was definitely a good 7 or 8 inches of freshly falled snow on the ground and the campus looked positively enchanting. after a quick nap and equally quick shower, i dressed for the play and met matt at the ripta stop, only to find out that ripta didn't feel like following the route by pc that night due to the terrible traffic and icy road conditions. awesome. we made a new friend and the three of us trudged over to smith street, i in my boots and matt in his duct-taped slippers. we were quite the pair!
eventually we made it to the play, with plenty of time to spare. we sat in the 2nd story windowledge and sipped on scalding hot chocolate (successfully averting burning out tongues!) trinity rep was beautifully decorated - christmas garland and twinkling white lights around the balcony and foyer, gorgeous evergreen wreaths graced the glass, soft instrumental carols floated through the air.... you could practically smell the holiday from just around the corner.
the play itself was spectacular. afterwards we meandered around borders for over an hour, comparing favorites and compiling wishlists. oh, how we pride ourselves on our mutual geekiness!
after getting back to pc around 1130, i met up with jackie and liv and watched the tail end of a movie. no partying for us the weekend before exams!
i woke up around 10 yesterday and studied.all.freaking.day. for civ. actually, that's a lie. until 630 or so. i passed out by 7, woke up all sorts of disoriented at 1030, ate a clementine, and fell back asleep until 830 this morning. on today's agenda was calc.
tomorrow: test in the morning, then hitting the library and hopefully cunningham for a bit before my hair appointment in the afternoon. i'll squeeze some more studying in there before andy graces me with his presence and we are whisked away for the evening. i'm so stoked to see him, i know it's sure to be a fabulous time - how can it not? there is absolutely no better way to spend the night before your first semester civ exam than with one of your best friends, dancing the night away at the most beautiful ballroom in newport!
