I. It is really hot in this room.
II. So I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy for most of that while, but in the more recent part of that while I've been resting. I got home from school Wednesday afternoon, and have been unpacking/loafing ever since. Still FRC-ing, of course, because that kind of trouble never leaves you alone. But mostly just trying to gather my bearings before camp starts. That and trying not to go crazy here.
III. Speaking of FRC news, I don't know if I told you, but Sheena, Kim, and I are running the place next year. I was told that I'm the first person to hold office twice. I suspect this is because no one else has been this insane--in some aspects it's like deciding you'd rather spend another term in jail right as they're about to let you out. But I'm looking forward to it. More or less.
IV. Also in FRC news, Daniel found out on Tuesday that he got in to UGA. Being the good sister I am, I've let him and his friend into the FRC. Kid goes on the second floor, though. He can have my building but he can't have my floor.
V. Third bout of school news...I'm officially a senior. I guess I've been an official senior since December, but whatever. One year left. Time is running out. But I think four years is a good amount of time. Not too short, not too long. I'm fairly certain I will be ready to go sometime soon.
VI. Grades are almost all in. It's the almost part that is frustrating...right now I have all A's. Not A-, A's. Solid A's. In my three major classes. What's frustrating is that I might have a C in Journalism and that would suck because I took it as an elective. I just didn't have the time for it with animation and everything. I'm wondering if the ta will let me switch to pass/fail.
VII.Really hot. 83 degrees. This might not seem too unreasonable to you, but my dorm room stays in the neighborhood of 68 all the time.
VIII. In exciting news, I went to two Guster concerts the weekend in-between finals. I went with Keri, the girl who is going on the cruise with me. She's cool. The concerts were awesome, minus the drunken crowd-surfers who kicked me. We were front row both times and ended up talking to various band members both nights. The second night, they played a song on the speaker we were leaning on, thus playing an acoustic song like six inches from us. It was awesome. I love Guster.
IX. Since I came home, I haven't been sleeping well. It might be partly to do with the whole hot thing, but part of it, I think, is just being here. So tonight I'm not going to take any sleeping aids and I'm going to stay up until I can't stand to be awake anymore and then I'm going to wake up relatively early. I don't know that this will help, but it's the idea I have.
X. I got my mom a cement bulldog for Mother's Day. It's surprisingly cute, and I don't mind it as much as I thought I would, because she really likes it. Plus, now that it's Daniel's school too, it isn't just a me thing.
XI. I really like Roman numerals. I made up a mnemonic device once to remember them all, except the mnemonic device I made up not only lacks coherence, one of the letters is off. But I still remember them.
XII. There's like 8,000,000 things to do here, chore wise, but I really just want to go somewhere. I want to go tubing in Helen. I want to go to St. Louis. I want to go to Canada.
XIII. I also want to go to Chicago to see Nathan. It'd be really cool to go for the Sliced Bread launch, but I can't. I am very proud of Nathan and his magazine, though--it looks beautiful. I've never been more pleased to be published than in Sliced Bread. I ::ahem:: may have an electronic copy of the magazine, if you'd like to see it. Not saying I do, but I might.
XIV. I need to take the GRE this fall and for some reason I've started thinking about it all the time. Should I be worried? Should I buy practice books? Should I be preparing? I suppose the first thing to do would be to actually decide if and where I'm going to grad school, and for what.
XV. I haven't been watching movies because I don't know where to start again. I haven't had time to watch movies all semester. Now that I have time time, I'm not sure I have the energy.
XVI. I feel like there was more to this post and now I've forgotten what to say. Maybe this means I'll update more. I don't know.
XVII. Andrew: Box.net, I think, will let you upload songs (mp3's or mp4's, I believe) and share the link so that other people can preview them, and or download them. I've never done it myself, but I know people who have.
XVIII. Still hot. But that's the way it goes.
