busiest wednesday
Busiest day ever since beginning college. I can feel exhaustion right down to every bone but today was rather fulfilling so a chronicle is in order.
0720 Alarm rings. I snooze it (my snooze is 9 minutes). Roll around in bed contemplating whether or not to get up. The mind, though still groggy, begins to get active as more thoughts begin to stir. I pull myself out of bed at 0724 before my alarm rings again.
0749 Out the door and off to English.
0800 English class. Didn't read today's discussed poem beforehand in detail, "To Autumn". Details of our poetry exam on Friday are disclosed, but everything remains very, very vague. I am worried for the exam on Friday.
0850 Out of English and off to Comparative Politics.
0900 Comparative Politics class at Quigley Hall. Discussed a little bit about the Soviet Union, before moving on to Russia. FINALLY, FINALLY I POSTED A PERCEPTIVE QUESTION TODAY IN CLASS /pats self on back I asked, "If the voters know that those parties are just 'virtual opposition', then why do they still vote for them anyway?" Teeheehee this sounds so scholarly even to myself /smug But anyway Professor Mattiace got pretty excited and we discussed this question. Guy Who Sits In Front Of Me And Always Raises His Hand tried to act smart and answer my question but got (nicely) shot down by Professor Mattiace, who implied he didn't quite interpret my question correctly. Turned in our New York Times journals, hope I do well!!!
0950 Out of Comparative Politics. I head to McKinley's to grab brunch cos I know I wouldn't be able to eat for quite a couple of hours. Got a burger and breakfast potatoes, after I finished them I relished the taste of the food in my mouth and felt guilty at the same time. How, I am so fat now. I resolve to embark on a diet plan soon.
1020 Back in dorm room, change books and folder in my bag in accordance to next class. Contemplated taking a short nap, but made myself read another couple of pages on Egypt for this evening's class instead.
1100 Women's Studies class. Finally found out who the person with the weird laughter in class is. Over the past few weeks I had narrowed it down to two suspects but today I managed to identify the person guilty of such horse-like laughter. It was difficult finding out who it was, cos this girl laughs with her mouth closed. Each laugh of hers sounds like a horse neighing... in pain. I realized it was her cos she was shaking to the beat of her laughter. I felt an immense sense of accomplishment, but subsequently got really annoyed cos her laughter is the most annoying thing I've ever heard, and now whenever she laughs I just surreptitiously shoot daggers and glare at her.
1205 Yay we are let off class early! I return to my dorm room. Ginger Hannah is pissed because Shaun came into our room earlier on and spilled milk on her rug. While he's reaching forward to try to mop up the mess and listening to Ginger Hannah shout at him... He spills another cup of chocolate milk on the exact same spot. Ginger Hannah goes ballistic and yells at him thrice to get out. His face turns red and he leaves. I am happy because Shaun has been annoying recently, he comes to our room every. single. day. Devour a couple more pages on Egypt, and then because I can barely think straight, I take a ten minute nap.
1300 Work. Jesse (main supervisor) is not in today. I do my assigned tasks, executing each step with slow deliberation, so I can drag the time out. I go out of the office for half an hour to take pictures around campus. Back in the office, I edit the pictures and post one on the college's official Instagram. Isn't my job cool.
1530 I leave the office, although work is supposed to end at 1700, but I head off on the pretense of going to the women's soccer game. In reality, I give myself half an hour to buy a sandwich and wait for Song Qian, whom I have asked to help me take photos after I leave the game. We meet outside the Campus Center and walk to Robertson Field.
1600 At Robertson Field, today's game was Allegheny against Wooster. Before the game starts Song Qian lets me try out this finger reading app on his phone, and I learn that I'm a passionate, hot-blooded, ditzy, kind-hearted girl who easily falls into the traps of romance. Also, suitable career paths for me include but are not limited to musician, director, theatre, etc. I am thoroughly inspired.
1700 Walk into a Quigley classroom for International Studies with my face flushed from my hike from Robertson Field to back down on campus. I take a seat near Tohmahs and Blonde Hannah and we learn about some background knowledge about Egypt.
1800 Back at dorm.
1820 Off to Walmart, Blonde Hannah drives Michelle and I there. The three of us peruse some random clothing store, Dollar Tree (God it's like another American Daiso, but only even better... Everything in the store costs a dollar. But everything in Daiso is cuter), Sally's and finally Walmart. I buy a case of water from Walmart. Just as we're walking back to Blonde Hannah's car and Michelle is commending me on my strength, I drop the case of water and calmly say, "Oh, fuck." The both of them laugh at me and I laugh at myself. Michelle hauls up the case of water and lifts it over her head and carries it back to the car for me ._.
1945 Spontaneous decision to get Pizza Hut takeout.
2015 Blonde Hannah calls Daniel, the guy living on our floor in the other triple room, to help us carry the case of water back upstairs in exchange for a slice of pizza. Back in our room, we sit on the rug (which Shaun spilled milk on, but we sat on the undamaged areas) and devour pizza. I start to feel full after one slice, and eat another. Gave my third slice to Ureka. Michelle decorates our door with a wallpaper and fake cobwebs for Halloween.
2100 Blonde Hannah wraps a pregnancy test kit in newspaper and puts it on Natasha's table. They are currently having a full-out war. (More on this next time)
2115 Blonde Hannah and I go to the library to watch a documentary for our International Studies class. Bumped into Yukihidei, whom I haven't seen in weeks! He tried helping us with the headsets. We also decide to print half of our readings for the class, and had 500 printing points each deducted from our accounts :'(
2245 Finally back in Walker Annex Hall again. I unpack and tidy my stuff up.
2317 Shower.
2347 Waiting for Justin to come on Skype so we can discuss law. Where the hell are you Justin? Answer: Probably still sleeping.
