Warm and fuzzy. I suppose that's not unlike Jack's colon.

Chem midterm turned out to be unsurprisingly miserable. Luckily it was that way for everybody except the one genius that got a 95%, and whom we should all throw into Lake Washington. Repeatedly. Without clothing. At least my mediocre score has renewed my interest in the daily studying I need to do to succeed... probably won't last very long, but needs to happen.

Recently received headphones as a gracious gift from Manzinita (they were her backup pair). It's been great- I can go to the library, and while I'm sitting and doing whatever (emailing, reviewing chem lectures, etc.) I can listen to classical on www.cpr.org. I recommend this for anyone who studies well with classical music - it's almost nonstop except for an short hourly news update and occasional snippets of background info, from what I've heard so far, and it's fantastic music. the little history summaries are actually quite amusing. good stuff. makes me miss being in orchestra.

Loving it here in good ol' Seattle. People say that Winter quarter is the worst, but so far it's flying by, and I'm having a good time (not counting the chem midterm). Haven't been off-campus as much as I was last quarter, but there are some concerts coming up (Maroon 5 and Howie Day) which will certainly be adventerous. I also may be going shopping today at Bell Square for shoes and potentially a much-needed hair cut, so that will get me out of the dorms. Computer is still broken - they're telling me now that something was spilled on it? I most certainly did not do that. At least I think I didn't. I'd know, wouldn't I? You'd think so.

How do people manage to not call my cell phone for days, and then everybody calls it at once? kinda weird. had a fun conversation triangle with 3 other people (i guess that would elevate its geometric status to a rectangle), where Jihad called while I was talking online to his roommate, and as they needed to discuss plans, they conversed vicariously through me for a bit. and then as he was walking across campus, he passed Samir, to whom he immediately gave his phone. Nice to talk to Samir - it's been quite a while (since winter break), and although our phone convo was short, it spurred an email from me, so that's good.

alright, it's a Friday, and I've been studying chem for the last hour, plus I have a friend coming over soon. Time to go out and have some fun.

but with you I belong
would you help me be strong
there's been a change in my life
since you came along

I think it's funny that I can make stupid, pointless little comments like the post I made last night, and unlike real life, people care. Or at least I pretend they do. That's the fun thing about this blog business - it makes me feel like I am the warm little center of the universe. Doesn't matter what the reality might be.

I have a paper due and a chem midterm in the next 24 hours. gotta run.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

you know what I hate? new jeans that turn your hands blue. This is my second pair of those types of jeans. you'd think i'd be able to earmark those particular types by now. pah.
