A tall scientist tries to make sense. And science, but sense comes first.

Hm. Potentially a scheduled posting time?

So this shift I'm working right now is sloooowwwwww. I got here at 5, and there hasn't been a lot to do at all. I actually started to fall asleep before.

So, what has happened this past week? Ummmm...

Classes are going ok. I have a lab report to do for Tuesday, which I will hopefully spend all day tomorrow on, and I have two tests next week before I go home. Yesterday I was running on way too little sleep, and accidentally fell asleep for a little bit of a friends presentation. But the rest of yesterday was great. I'll get back to that later.

Because...: The weekend before that was the COS Winter Gala! Which was tons of fun. I took a friend of mine, and a bunch of us went to dinner at the Korean restaurant. I paid for her, because Molly told me I'd die if I didn't (I wasn't sure! She has a boyfriend! I'm a homewrecker!) After that though, I asked out favorite waiter if he wanted to come play poker at our house yesterday, but he said he couldn't, because he had work. BUT. I got his number! I texted him three days later, and he responded! But we haven't hung out outside a restaurant yet lol. After that, we went to the gala. It was a lot of fun, even though there was a little less people than last year. But it was still a bunch of fun anyway.

This week promptly blew by. Until friday night... we had an Honors COS winter event! We went to this nice restaurant called Philips European, where we were funded for free food. I had a steak covered in black peppercorns, and a mustardish sauce. I even ate some of the broccoli that came with it! After that we went bowling for free for a couple hours, and it was cosmic bowling! Lots of fun, and we got back about 2 hours after the event was planned to end. It was great, and I'm tired today.

Why? Because some freshmen came over this morning to bake a birthday cake for another freshman, and I woke up to let them in and all that, since Tony went to the public market.

That's all for now! Probably write more next Saturday? I won't be at work though, because I'll be home for CHRISTMAS BREAK! It's so great, even for a Jew!

WOAH

So. Hi there. It's been a long time, and I don't have a lot to do right now. I'll give a recap of this quarter, I suppose.

Early September: We saw Vampire Weekend! I love them so much. I fought against a guy who was high or on ecstasy or something- I forget which- to keep my spot in the crowd.

Mid-September: It was Molly's birthday! So we drove down to New Jersey to see Ann, and went into New York to see of Montreal! This concert was just crazy- Kevin Barnes having sex with people in pig costumes, other weird things. Overall it was great, and there were hipsters that didn't like that I was so tall and in front of them. Oh well. We drove back up, and Molly went fast! It was lots of fun riding shotgun. Then I had two tests the day after. They didn't go so great, but it was ok.

October:

Um. October was... Halloween! I was Mr. Freeze. I had a glittery and sparkly lab coat, and a bucket on my head. It was so much fun! And I got candy, and I was mummified. I feel like more happened in October. Oh. Um. Biochemistry wasn't going well, so I dropped it. Oh well.

November: Joanna came back! She's an old friend, and had a party. It was fun, but we didn't stay long. But I stayed long enough to find someone with my real name who was almost literally half my height. And then came finals. This quarter sucked. Both my big classes ended in B's. I need A's! But my smaller classes were all A's at least. And then came break. It was really good to see everyone, and I ate korean food twice that week. But now I don't really want to be back in classes. At least this quarter seems better. I'm taking:

Spec ID, taught by Dr. Cody. Dr. Cody is fun.
ASL 1: Hopefully an easy A.
Quantum Mechanics: Terrible. It's a math class and the teacher doesn't realize that class ends when its supposed to, not 20 minutes after. I walked out of both classes so far.
Also I'm doing research still- I'll have a lackey this quarter! And I'm TAing again.

Also, I grew a beard for November. It was fun, but I was tired of it. Everyone said I looked like Abe Lincoln, or amish, or both.

Toodles.
