Tonight, Carmen, Tricia, Vadim, Jeremy, Jeff, and I went out for Japanese food. We all obsessively traded cell phone numbers, and I introduced them all to green tea ice cream (they loved it). We came to the conclusion that Vadim is unfit to ever talk to another woman, ever, when he pinched Tricia’s cheek and said appreciatively “You have pudgy cheeks.” Tricia, Carmen, and I proceeded to lecture him about the error of his ways and the intricacies of the female mind, and how his words translate in womanese to “You are fat.” Good times. It’s always so much fun when girls get the opportunity to gang up on clueless, helpless males! ::cackle::
Elfwood comment of the day: “very good art there Ms.Spencer..I love your drawings:)”
When did I stop being “Priscilla”? Who on earth calls people by their last name in this context? Wow, I’m amused. “Dude! ‘Mr. Turtle’ is my father.”
Today flirted with disaster. I printed my math homework out before Java class, and Jing and I checked answers. We found that we had both made some mistakes, so I returned to the lab during lunch to fix the errors and reprint it. Ten minutes before the assignments had to be in, I trudged up the four flights of stairs in the math building and delivered the pages to the TA’s box. I then went to the math classroom and worked on pirate!Kurt while waiting for class to start. About a minute before class started, I suddenly got a flash of paranoia. I looked through my bag, and found that my paranoid suspicions were correct. I had turned in the wrong version of my homework. I raced back up the four flights and ran all the way to the TA hall on the other side of the building. I dug through the TA’s very full box and found my homework, replacing it just as the other TA moved to lock the door. That would have been more than slightly disasterous. So yay, the gods smile upon me today. Phew.

2:47 AM and Math is DONE. Can I get a woot woot?
If you say the words “Art History Reading” to me, I will laugh at you.
::stares:: I just spent another solid hour on math, only to realize that I was doing the wrong section. Am I going to get ANY sleep tonight?
(to minimize confusion: It was just that one hour that I was doing the wrong problems. The other 5 1/2 hours I’ve spend on Math this evening were the correct problems. Of course, that does not stop me from wanting to crawl into a hole and die.)
Boys: You can instantly win any girl’s heart with the simple gift of orange juice in times of stress. Thank you, Jeremy!
My acid reflux is going to hate me, but for now, I’m a happy girl. That is, until I make myself get back to work on calculus and my art history reading. Then I won’t be happy. But I’ll still have my orange juice, so it’s ok.
Just spent FIVE SOLID HOURS on my math homework and I’m only about 2/3 done.
I hate Calculus.
(And Ray never called me. She’d better have a good reason.)
Hee. Waiting for Ray (Rachel, one of the DMDers) to contact me re: when our calculus study group is meeting, I passed the time working on my pirate!Kurt drawing. While watching the church scene over and over researching Kurt’s chest scars looking over my math homework, I found myself humming “Mood Indigo.” My subconscious has a weird sense of humor.
And just so you know, every time you decide not to comment in someone’s journal, it’s equivalent to commenting in 36-pt. font “NO LOVE.” Woe betide my forsaken and barren comment fields. ::sniff::
Mmmmmmmm, Thursday. On all other days, my classes start at 9 (or 9:30 on Tues), but on Thursday, they start at noon. This morning, my alarm went off as usual at 8:00, so I turned it off and pampered myself with an extra hour of sleep. Ah, luxury.
