It's Raining!

It is raining! And though I somehow missed that fact for the majority of last night (damn you, closed window shades!) I am now enjoying it to its full extent. I'm going to go walk up to the Motley, sit there for a couple hours and finish reading The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao so I can write my paper on it. Also on today's schedule, which I will HOPEFULLY be able to stick to: Write at least 3/4 of my study guide for Gender and Women's Studies, watch a movie for The Holy Fool and write a one page paper on said movie. Until then--Mexican hot chocolate, here I come!

Cool Concept

I don't care much for the music, but the concept is pretty cool. A music video made in 45,000 hires photographs.

Computer

And yes, I do have a working computer right now. I drove into downtown LA to pick up a loaner laptop from my dad's office, so the internet is back up and running in my life. This is both very very good and potentially very bad for me fininshing my research paper...
One research paper, one final paper, one movie review and two final tests to go...

Does it make me emo...

...if I really like this song?

Eh, oh well.

Say Yes

I'm in love with the world,
Through the eyes of a girl,
Who's still around the morning after.

We broke up a month ago,
When I grew up, I didn't know
It'd be around the morning after.

It's always been wait and see,
A happy day didn't pay
Feel like shit the morning after.

But now I feel changed around,
And instead falling down,
I'm standing up the morning after.

Situations get fucked up
Turned around sooner or later

I could be another fool,
Or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after.

Crooked spin cant come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows
See how it is they want you or they don't

I'm in love with the world,
Through the eyes of a girl,
Who's still around the morning after.

Ah ha!

A brief moment of internet clarity! I must seize it! My computer has been slowly dying for a while now and has recently decided to speed things up...the Ethernet connection is totally useless and my wireless is spotty at best. Not to mention it doesn't work off of battery power and likes shutting down randomly....I can't blame it, really. It is four years old. But doesn't it know that finals are two weeks away and there are essays to write and research to do?? Poor computer...stick with me for just a while longer!!

Yummy

I just put my comforter on my bed, after weeks of saying that I should. Mmmm. I am so happy with this choice. And my bed looks so much better, now.

The List

Katie had the brilliant idea of us making huge lists summing up everything we have to do in the next three weeks. And by brilliant I mean it really was super-smart, it is just also incredibly daunting to see it all laid out like that. That being said, I knocked two things off the list yesterday, did two more so far today, and will do one or hopefully two more by the end of the night. And that is only the beginning....These next three weeks until the end of the semester will be all kinds of crazy but hopefully all kinds of good too. I can't believe this school year is almost halfway over...wow.

Googlewhacking

Katie, my dad and I have been Googlewhacking.
