Update
About five seconds after I posted that I got the back of the phone off. It's not the battery, it's the SIM card. Which means I don't have a phone until I can get someone to give me a ride to the Cingular store. Which may be another week or more.

Grr!
My phone is dead. It died last night as I was standing outside. Black screen. Refuses to come back to life. I charged it. Nothing. I left it alone for a while. Nothing.
So I went on the website, looked up troubleshooting and found some advice. BUT I CAN'T GET THE BACK OF THE FCKNG PHONE OFF. So I can't take any of their advice. I can only watch the happy video of the fingers pulling the back down and proceeding to attempt to solve the problem. AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
I hate cell phones.

The Return of the Sub-Par Tour Guide
I still miss the tiny kitten. Other than that...well. What have I done since Tuesday? Some work I guess. I'm having one of those lulls after the storm. There's like nothing to do, but then I know suddenly there'll be three papers to write and a exam... But it was a pretty dull week. Meetings and stuff.
I FINISHED KNITTING MY FIRST SOCK! Of course, now I have to knit the second...sigh.
Friday was wonderful because my only class got cancelled. So I did laundry, changed my sheets, and cleaned, it was nice to kind of get things in order. I even got some work done. Then Friday afternoon was nice because I actually got to see my Engineer for more than 20 minutes.
Last night was also excellent. I baked cupcakes, and then roomies and I hung out and knitted and watched Over the Hedge-- which I recommend.
Today I woke up, did homework in bed--my new favorite Saturday morning activity. Cleaned more (it's Homecomming and we have McKelvy Alumni coming to tour the house etc, so I don't really want my laundry drying in the middle of the room), went to the gym, and now I'm doing work and blogging... Later I shall eat pancakes, possible make a huge mistake (more on that later today....) and give McK tours! Oh the silliness.
I will keep you posted on that possibly huge mistake.

Why Make My Bed? I'll be back in like... 18, 20 hours...
Blogging is a good use of the one free hour I have today! On the wonderful side of life I've finished my math test and my history mid-term. I think I actually did okay on both. Hard to tell. I found an answer for every problem, and I checked all the work I could, but sometimes you think you got it and you actually didn't. Ditto history, nothing stumped me, but I'm not sure I was totally on the page he wanted me to be-- it was a very open exam. Like here are two pictures, they have a relationship, talk about it. Yeah...
But the key thing, I'm DONE. No math and no history this week! Yay. Tuesday's still suck though. Eh. I don't know what to say. Yesterday was pretty awful, because I was stressing myself out, with the exception of the hour I spent asleep on my Engineer's bed and the half hour I spent baking cookies with Kaydo.
I saw Mdubz on Sunday, that was awesome. I saw Chorus Line too, but that just didn't compare to the awesomeness of seeing Mdubz. Not that I didn't like it. I think I'm just a spoiled Broadway brat at this point-- "oh yes I saw another show it was nice, yawn." I guess it didn't strike me the way RENT did where at intermission I almost cried because I wanted to see it again already. Or Kiss Me Kate where I freakishly ended up sitting in row J in the orchestra. AMAZING. If 1776 ever comes back to Broadway I will be first in line.
Okay. So I'm probably going to get some work done. Because I have stuff to do tonight until 10. And I need sleep. I don't remember Sunday night. I may have been walking around speaking to people, I was technically up until midnight or so, but really I was asleep by 10. So in summation, not too much going on here, how are you?

Less Chlorophyll = Pretty.
I should be working. But I don't have it in me. So it's either blogging or sleeping. And I thought this might cheer me up a bit. Not that anything is wrong. I'm just. I don't know. I'm all over the place this semester. I suppose that's really the story of my life though.
Anyway. It's autumn (I like the word fall too. If I were talking I'd say fall, but autumn looks nicer). Today. Yesterday it wasn't and today it is. There's a little chill in the air, very crisp. And the trees! The leaves are just raining down. And they're all so beautiful. I love the colors of autumn, it's the only time of the year that orange is an acceptable color. I've been picking up leaves all day. This is the absolute best part of the entire year, the week or two where it really feels perfectly like autumn. Then Thanksgiving, one of the holidays I hate less, comes. After that it's not so magical outside. But you do get to sing really nice music in church. So I deal with it.
I wish I'd been born in the autumn. Maybe I'll go sit outside and be one with nature...

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
So I'm back at school after taking a few days of my fall break to go home. It was nice to do free laundry, eat free food, sleep. Oh I think I forged new ground on the frontier of sleep. Especially today. Mmm. Also shopping. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Anyway.
Things I did on Friday that I'm not proud of:
1. Watched Walker Texas Ranger. Sniggle. But how was I supposed to resist?
So I'm spending the rest of my break here, hoping I can get lots of work done. Two papers written in two days would be so wonderful. And since no one's around I might actually be able to get it done.

Kingda Ka
Every weekend here is an adventure, a rollercoaster ride. I'm not sure what parts to tell and which I should not, not because I don't trust you guys, but rather because some of it is always less than legal and very much not what I would write home to my mother about, and this weekend some of the drama wasn't mine (although I appropriated some of it).
Friday afternoons are my favorite time of the week. I can just lay around, I'm out of class at 10:50 so I work a little, until lunch, and then after that I call it the weekend. Usually I go and lay around with my Engineer, so that's wonderful. Then I have yoga (and this week my most favorite instructor from last year was subing, and she totally remember my name and asked me how I'd been and all that). I also went to Hillel, which I often do on Fridays-- yummy free food. Then after that I went to see a college theater play-- The House of Blue Leaves. It was funny and well-acted, but it left me quite depressed. Although I went with the not-in-my-quad McK girls which was nice because if I don't make friends with them now I'll be totally alone next year.
Then the more questionable part of the evening. Let me just say that it was the scariest night of my life, even if it shouldn't have been. I suppose that everyone was safe really, but I have very little experiance with marshmallows, and I was scared. The general opinon seems to be that I overreacted, but I didn't do so intentionally, I just was scared and worried. So I went to bed at about 7AM. And got up at 9:30. And I blame no one for this, I'm not upset that I did it. I didn't sit there poking myself, I just couldn't sleep because I was worried. And even if every person who later told me that everything was really fine had come in and said it then, I still wouldn't have slept because you just don't do that. You feel the way that I do about someone, and you just naturally try to protect them. I mean if it were a stomach virus, you know the person isn't going to die, but you still stay up and protect them, so I didn't really feel fully confident that the whole death thing was not a possiblity--and that was overreaction, but even if I had known I would still have sat by his side and worried. So now that I've danced around that and given a pretty clear picture of my night...
Saturday was the Block PARTy. Which is this awesome tradition Lafayette has were before the second home game of the season there's a block party of sorts where all the clubs etc, have tables where you can do differet artsy crafts and get free stuff. I sat at the ALF table for a while, ate a yummy humus wrap, got a balloon puppy, and filled my mittens with candy. Saturday was also when my roomie took the LSATs so I spent the rest of the afternoon baking in her honor, and for my sanity. Because all of Saturday I still had all this adrenaline (and no sleep) making me feel a little crazy-- I was nearly crying four or five times and then insanly giggly and silly. My couldn't hurt a fly roommate put me to bed.
Saturday evening I got some math homework done, some knitting, watched Eddie Izzard, and around 11 went out to a party at the other scholar house. It was okay, by 12 I was pretty much dead though. Around 12:30 I just lay down on someone's bed and fell asleep. So my Engineer took me home and we went to bed. Oh how I slept. Of course I had church this morning, which I barely made it to.
And now all I have left is Sunday. Which shall most likely be filled with reading and work and McKelvy, and then blissful sleep. But this week is only four days thanks to my one and only Friday class being cancelled, and then fall break. so in the next fourteen days I have seven days of class. Hooray for five day weekends! Is ANYONE going to be in the 215 between Oct. 6- Oct. 10th? Because if not I don't think I'll go home for much of it.
