question of the month:
if you were sitting around in your living room drinking tea and talking to someone who suddenly decides to lift up your skirt and then very seriously inform you that your underwear matches your eyes, what would you do?
how, exactly, does one respond to that?
"oh, thanks... I always try to color-coordinate!"
and now I get to go crutch over to the library before my genetics lab REALLY kills me.

good:
orientation. Alan, Jordanne, and I had an awesome group of kids. I'm in love with all of them.
the room. It's gorgeous. and huge. and we have nifty slanted walls.
the kitchen. again, gorgeous. stove, oven, fridge, dishwasher... sweet.
I don't have anything to do until six this evening, so I can take a nap!
bad:
...well, we're kind of far away.
and you can't get into the bathroom if someone is in the shower.
the schedule for this week is crazy
oh, and classes start tomorrow
ugly:
last night. DON'T KISS ME ASSHOLE, YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND.
I'm going to spend over $500 on textbooks for the semester. not to mention the 15 000 from my bank account that already went towards tuition. in other words, I'm broke. but at least I'll have a job for the semester (provided that people are failing bio/ want private tutors).

so this past week I was rather sick. aaaand I couldn't take off work, which sucked. although I did get thursday afternoon off so I could go spend it in the walk in med clinic in Pittsfield because NARH fucks everything up all the time. lovely. my prof thought I had lyme disease. chances are, I don't but I have to get tested at the end of the summer anyway. booooo. especially since the only tick I've pulled out of myself was not a deer tick. but anyway...
so of course I missed my entire workout schedule this week, which sucks. I was ridiculously out of shape for Sevens. so tonight I finally get out running again. I do two miles, and then go down to the track to do sprint sets. and I ROLL MY FUCKING ANKLE. my bad one. THE ONE YAYA FELL ON WHEN WE WERE LIVE RUCKING AT PRACTICE IN THE SPRING. aughhhhhhh. and I promised myself and Linds I'd run tomorrow before midweek-madness-time. ouch ouch ouch.
the weekend was amazing though. Friday = card night/ending up at 71-73/a repeat of the previous hearts night minus the sketchy and vaguely regrettable parts. well, except for the fact that at four am, I woke up and really had to pee. but I wasn't 100% awake... I was just very aware that I had to pee. so I jump out of bed and go down the hall to the bathroom... and then when the lights go on (the bathroom lights are automatic), I wake up and realize that I'm naked. in a co-ed bathroom. at 4 am on a friday. whoops. then, saturday, Lindsey and David and I drove down to tanglewood to see Yo Yo Ma + BSO. all-Dvorak program! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so good.
and hopefully I'll be BACK at tanglewood this saturday to see Itzhak Perlman with MY HERO. yessssss. $25 lawn tickets are my friend. so is the fact that I'm only 45 minutes away from Lenox.
also, I got my frosh list for orientation and now I'm going to go be creepy and facebook stalkin all of them. apparently, one is from westport.
my room smells kind of icky. maybe because I have two pairs of running shoes + cleats under my bed? aughhh. I think I'm going to go hang them out the window and hope it doesn't rain.

so so so. I heart summer.
last week, I was basically getting paid to go hiking for a few hours a day. fabulous. this week, I'm getting paid to go hiking and then sit in the woods and watch ants. plus maybe spend a few hours in the lab.
amazing.
other than spending quality time in the middle of the forest, summer plans include:
1) disney movies
2) quality naked time, probably in the river.
3) more disney movies!!!!!
4) cape cod sevens, if I can get there
5) honing my beirut skills
and
6) sleeping
I like the way this looks. if any of you will be in MA this summer, I encourage you to come visit me.

it's been awhile. hope you all are doing fabulously?
last weekend was so, so long and not relaxing at all. so now i'm black and blue and exhausted and it's hell week but i am alive with no concussions or new permanent injuries although i must say that when i woke up on sunday morning i could feel every single point on my body that hit the ground on saturday. i still don't know how i landed on my left hip and the right side of my head at the same time, and can only imagine how bent up my spine must have been for me to hit in that position. and i still have to say that the last thing i was expecting when i walked in to that tent party was a hand up my skirt. ick. boys are stupid and frustrating, especially when they have been drinking.
BUT i'm wicked excited about this summer. i'm going to be in williamstown for research from june 11th to august 17th, so if you're in MA or CT etc. you should come visit okay? right. (andy are you doing WTF this summer? and if so where are you living and what dates?) and then i'm coming back up early to help with ETA (mid-orientation)/ terrorize the frosh/ be predatory (um, kidding... i think)
and i'm living in the most gorgeous house ever next year.
and i'm kind of in love with my roommate because she's just that awesome except when she shoves grass down my shirt... but whatever. i have plans for revenge.
okay back to bio labs.

Um so midterm week was okay. the weekend/week after was fabulous (other than some very poor planning on my part). spring break was pretty good.
AND NOW my life has decided to hate me again.
my back hurts right now. and my head. MAYBE because I spent most of class tonight lying on the floor with my legs flipped over my head. and I kind of got kicked in the face a little. MAYBE because 7-10 pm is kind of a ridiculous time for class, anyway, especially since I have lab in the afternoon. MAYBE because I haven't been eating and my body hates me, just in general. MAYBE because this paper is due tomorrow and I HAVE GOTTEN ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE because no, I don't believe that heterosexuality is just a social construct and all women are lesbians because I firmly believe that emotion and sex are completely separate things, but for some reason I cannot express that in four pages of (class appropriate) writing. especially in four pages of appropriate writing that draws from the work of man-hating, heterophobic militant feminists who OBVIOUSLY do not agree with my views at all.
eugh angry much emily?
yes.
very.

you haven't really lived until you've hacked through an inch of ice with an axe to swim naked in the river.
last night was pretty much amazing.
I have a paper due tomorrow and I haven't done the reading yet.

ohkay so.
I think 2006 was pretty much a blur. last semester at newark/ summer kind of run together into an indistinct and severely confusing series of random events. I have no idea what I was doing, basically.
...I have no idea what I've been doing here, either. I love it. I do. and I have amazing friends and somehow I made deans list for fall semester so obviously I'm doing something right.
but I also dislocated my hip and got a staph infection and didn't sleep and even though I only blacked out once yes, it did happen and I made bad decisions that night that I guess I don't regret but it's not something I'd do again, and basically I am a mess and Jacquita is worried that I'm going to break one particular person and oh my god I'm so completely confused.
new years resolutions:
no more tequila. figure out what you want.
...who am I kidding? that's not going to happen.

why is it that whenever I tell someone that we're going to Korea, the first thing they say is "oh! north or south!"
um, yeah.
vacationing in north korea sounds like tons of fun.
after asking that, my manager told me to "bring him something nice... like a slave".
obviously brett has issues.
see you kids in a few weeks.

so I completely murdered my foot today because I walked into a door. I'm missing a smallish portion of my toe. and I bled all over my shoes (again). augh.
also, I'm pretty much hopeless at everything, including keeping in touch with people and living a life full of sunshine and rainbows.
WHY AM I STUCK IN DELAWARE THIS SUMMER?

so the past week or so has been pretty crazy.
Michigan last weekend. was okay.
basically no school last week because of state testing. awesome.
NYC saturday with sisters, Mel, Robin, Gail, and Tom. super fabulous. got standing room tickets for sweeney todd with Una, Rach, and Tom, which was great but then my feet really hurt. tried to fit too many people in a cab. convinced the driver to take us anyway. crashed some kids Bar Mitzvah(I believe his name was Michael?), which was at a high-rise bowling alley. bowled and ate for free. watched crazy white 13-year-olds try to dance. left still not really knowing who kid was, but his mom was really nice and his older brother was quite attractive.
this week basically sucks, but Rochester this weekend w/ Rachel S= things are suddenly more tolerable. yay!
no idea what I want to do next year.
parents are really liking this full-scholarship thing.
ack.
do any of you kids actually know where you're going?
and I am knitting myself a bright blue hat with cat ears.
hell yes.

so thanks to my lousy immune system and state testing, today was the only full day of school for me this week. nice, but now I am pretty sure I am failing math and physics.
tomorrow: philly for dress fabric.
friday: biophysics lecture on nanobombs! (I am such a dork.)
saturday/sunday/monday: in Michigan, bitch.
next weekend: NYC with my sisterrrrrrs and Robin and Mel
weekend after: in Rochester with MY LOVER RACHEL, attacking NEMC people and generally wreaking havoc (and not being home on april first when the mail arrives, but I think I'll live)
weekend after: trying to figure out where I want to spend the next four years of my life and trying to stop failing calc.
life is pretty exciting, neh?

next time I start bitching about colleges (which probably won't be for awhile) someone PLEASE slap me in the face and tell me to shut the fuck up.
( as of today )
go me.
but I have no focus and no desire to do work, so calc and physics really suck.
and swimming is OVER!
