this week has been an absolute blur. monday night was the zbt formal with andy and i promise i'll post some pictures once i get around to loading them off of my camera. it was such a wonderful time with one of my most favoritist people of all time. after he picked me up, we went to the fraternity's house by uri, then were all bused over to the viking in newport. excellent people, good times. everyone looked so beautiful/handsome! i love excuses to get dressed up. also i love spending time and catching up with andy.
after arriving home shortly after 230am, i hit the books for my civ exam. studied until 6, woke up at 7, was in the library with not one but two cups of coffee by 730. yeah. i know. gross. but i think it was worth it. allie and i studied together and totally owned the essay portion of the exam which is uber jolly.
tuesday after my exam hambone the vegan took me to see harry potter! it all started a few weeks ago when steve and jon wanted to see get rich or die trying.... one thing led to another and somehow i roped hambone into promising to take me to catch hp4. he went despite having two exams the next day! that's friendship - seeing a movie you really don't care about on the eve of examinations. since he's a vegan this week, we packed carrots, oranges, apples, and bananas to sustain us through the three hour film. good times.
wednesday and thursday mostly took place in the library.
friday was the dreaded calc/bio combo and it wasn't pretty. we're just going to leave it at that.
after i handed in my bio exam, i practically ran back to mcvin to take a scalding hot shower. for a good half hour. i refused to leave until my fingers got all wrinkly. i opened the door to head back to my room, and who was sitting forlornly by my bedroom door staring out of the bay window but allie. we comiserated together and instead of acknowledging the things we did actually know on the exam, we focused instead on those we didn't. (the former would have taken significantly less time...)
after we drowned our sorrows in white chocolate raspberry yogurt, i took a nap and woke 4 hours later. ryan picked me up and we hit the mall.
can i just say that knowing i would be able to see my best friend last night was definitely the only thing that got me through yesterday?
i bought some christmas presents and a new pair of corduroys (in dune) as well as a new silk minibag (jon, it has crests/emblems on it!!!! aren't you proud of me????)
after rye dropped me back off on campus, i briefly visited an immensely studious fro (he has his analytical chemistry exam this afternoon) before settling in for some fight club with steve and jon. i fell asleep in about 20 minutes... didn't even make it to "the first rule of fight club is... you do not talk about fight club. the second rule of fight club is.... you. do not. talk. about fight club."
on tap for today: chemistry chapters 1-10 and out tonight.
wish me luck. this is the homestretch.
