    laptop's back

    By Ms. Walsh,

    My laptop is back and in perfect order, which is fab.

    For the past two days, I was really hating my life. I can't explain why, and I kind of don't want to delve into it right now. I guess it was because I wasn't taking care of myself. I know that academics are important, especially here, but in the long run, they really aren't if they're going to conflict with my well-being.

    It's all good now though! Tonight I'm catching up on ATWT and tomorrow we don't have classes (WOO-HOO!), so I'm venturing to the mall to buy printer ink, and then I'm going to the Sophia Smith Collection to do research for history.

    I think I'm going to enjoy doing this paper. The SSC is an amazing archive of women's history that uses primary sources like letters, magazines, photos, etc. to explain the lives of important women in the country. I'm going to use their new "oral histories" collections that were completed only mere months ago. Basically, instead of having to write their lives down, women were interviewed on camera about significant life events. Some of the interviews are 23 hours long.

    I think I will want a job at the SSC! I'm going to apply to a job there, the libraries, and the rare book room because that's the place that stores the Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf archives.

    Well, that's all for now! I'm so hungry, so I'm going to dinner!!

    CIAO!

    i'm back

    By Ms. Walsh,

    I sent my computer in to get fixed because the CD player broke. It's already 10 PM and I haven't accomplished as much homework as I would have liked. All I have to do, though, is History and Economics work (the History is due on Thursday, btw), and then watch a movie for Women's Studies on Sunday. So it's not too bad.

    I think all this extra work is not going to accomplish anything in the end. I should be happy being a B student, I guess. It's not as if this is an easy school. Bs are good grades here, but I get frustrated by other people who don't seem to do as much work and get As. It sucks. I'm seriously working off my butt here.

    Did I tell you about the Reunion job?? Well...I think I did. I also applied for a job giving tours and overnight stays for prospective students. I hope I get this because it looks like a lot of fun.

    Today I got in a fight with someone about abortion. I feel bad because I guess I'm "too liberal" and this girl was "too religious." Anyway, I watched this Frontline special, and I think it's pretty good. Here it is:
    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tw...h/abortion.html

    Mary and I are going to NYC and Boston for spring break. It should be a lot of fun. I haven't been to NYC in over 2 years, and I last went to Boston on November.

    As far as classes in the future, there are definitely some fun ones at Amherst and Hampshire. I'm going to take two History classes, Spanish, and Math...maybe. I want one of the History classes to be at A or H.

    more updates

    By Ms. Walsh,

    1. I'm staying in the house. at myself for constantly changing my mind.

    2. I don't think I commented on seeing the Vagina Monologues on Saturday, so I will now. It was really good...I'm surprised because it was a lot funnier than I thought it would be. The funny parts were REALLY funny and the sad parts were REALLY sad. I felt bad for the men in the audience, though, in one scene (the funniest one I think), the first words the woman says are, "I love vaginas" and the audience starts laughing and this one random guy yells out, "Yeah!" So weird. Anyway, I have to write a paper on it for extra credit for my History class.

    Ciao.

    my choice

    By Ms. Walsh,

    So...

    I'm definitely moving. I think it's for the best. I've been contemplating this for several days, and there are times when I feel like I shouldn't be doing this...but overall I think it's the safer option. And who knows? I might move back senior year. I just think that it will better to live somewhere else and not have to explain to someone why I'm doing certain things. Like I can't even do homework on Fridays and Saturdays in the room because it's just impossible, so I have to go to the library. And not having to care about when another person wakes up and goes to bed. Maybe this is a bad sign, like that I shouldn't get married or something...but I think I've already decided not to get married anyway. Plus, it's not happening for another 10 years at least. I'm nervous about room draw, though, but I'm sure that I'll get a single because I'll just pick houses with a lot of them.

    Also, I think I'm getting a cold.
  5. Ms. Walsh
    Okay, I woke up at 9.30 today to go to the library to do my homework (and will probably do the same tomorrow). Oh, it gets better. Last night (Friday, mind you) I went to the library at 8 until 11 doing Women's Studies and internship research. I swear, I must be the world's biggest loser because who the hell wastes away her weekend doing school work??

    I'm on a procrastination break right now until 1, but I'm hoping to finish my Women's Studies (one more articulo!!) and History by 3.30-4ish so I can go make my bed, shower, and do some laundry (because I'm on my last pair of underwear.)

    Anyway, I'm getting nervous about this housing lottery. I'm like 95% sure that I'm going to request another house, but I'm still scared. What if I get the last pick for my class?? I mean, someone has to be last, so it might be me!! And then I'm going to get put in the nasty houses!!! This is terrible! But I am really looking forward to living in a single, especially since my roommate is leaving me next semester!! All of the houses in the Quad are pretty, so I'm hoping that it will work out for the best.

    This is the house that I'm aiming to get put into:


    and then these are a few others:









    and this the house that I currently live in:

    isn't it so cute?? Sometimes I wonder why I'm even thinking of doing this!!

    I'm also applying for a job working Reunion (after finals in May), and playing servant to wealthy Smith alumnae for two weeks...but I get paid $800+ and get free board (living in a Smith house obviously...probably my own) which is sweet. I have to write an essay explaining why I want to be a worker!?!? How messed up is that? But I think I have a good chance of getting it because I do have work experience and I have a job on-campus. So hopefully they'll let me in. I hope they'll accept me because I really want to work, and maybe Gloria Steinem will attend because she's an '56 so it'd be her 50th year reunion!! Wouldn't that be fab if I got to meet her????

    Also, I hate to say this, but I'm already looking into classes for next semester. We do have to register in March, which is not that far away!! Obviously, there will be a Spanish class, maybe a Math class??, a History class, and Women's Studies or some other elective class that hopefully I'll be able to take at Hampshire or Amherst. One of my friends is taking this Biology class for non-majors at Hampshire on animal behavior and it looks fascinating! We're plotting what classes to take, so we can take one together at another school.
    Okay, must go back to work!

    --Au revoir!

    internships

    By Ms. Walsh,

    I've been scoping around for internships so that I won't have to return to the simple life during the summer. There were some great opportunities, like this internship with a travel guide company that's in Prague; however, one of the essay questions was what my last travelling experience was and what I learned from it. Thus, that one was scraped very quickly.

    But then there's one working for P&G in NYC, and I'm definitely going to apply because that would mean working for ATWT! Seriously, I think I have a good chance because I am a student at a prominent college and I just happen to be a devoted soap opera fan. The job also states that I'd have to work on pgpphoto.com which I already know and I'd have to alert all the soap mags about upcoming storylines and previews!! Isn't that awesome?? I think this is the ideal internship.

    As for spring break, I'm thinking about doing something like volunteering in New Orleans or something, like with abandoned animals maybe. I don't know...I guess it's better than schlepping it around the house doing nothing, but that's probably what I'll do anyway since I'll definitely be needing a break from all this homework though. See, this is the downside to not being a co-ed and being able to take a vacation in Cancun and wind up on MTV's Spring Break or, better, Girls Gone Wild.

    I also think that I will put my name in the housing lottery. I'm going to pick 3 or 4 houses in the Quad and 1 or 2 houses on Green Street...all of which have dining with every meal. And I'm definitely going to be looking at getting a single, which is why the Quad is more efficient.

    Okay, here's how it stacks up:

    The house that I currently live in has 25 singles and 23 doubles. The only people who get singles are juniors and seniors.

    House A has 41 singles and 14 doubles
    House B has 21 singles and 16 doubles
    House C has 58 singles and 9 doubles
    House D has 61 singles and 13 doubles
    House E has 74 singles and 0 doubles

    So I think my chances in these houses (maybe not house B as much, so that will probably be my last choice) are better at getting a single.

    Again, I should have gone ahead with ResLife, but I guess it will all work out in the end...hopefully.

    I'm seriously going to take a class at Hampshire or Amherst next semester. I'd rather take it at Amherst because Hampshire kids tend to be really hippy-dippy and don't shower. But Hampshire offers "alternative" classes, which could be a lot more interesting.

    Tomorrow I'm going to the Vagina Monologues, which has gained a lot of hype on campus. There was a debate between the play's producers and the Smith Republicans. I attended the debate, and the Reps did SO poorly. I mean, they were clearly in the minority anyway, but this one girl kept saying the STUPIDEST things. I can't even remember them, but trust me...they were pathetic! I felt really bad!

    And I might be working in the vegetarian/vegan house now. Okay, it is sooooooooooo boring there because nobody shows up, but it's the only other dining hall that looks like it has a decent staff. All the "too cool for school" WS majors go to the other v/v house, so I'll just be sitting there eating tofu burgers. But I have come to the conclusion that hummus is amazing! If I had the time and the money, I would go downtown tomorrow and buy some. Also, I did eat at the v/v house this afternoon because I was craving soup and they were serving cream of broccoli...and it was DELICIOUS!!!!!

    Okay, that's it.

    CIAO!

    I hate boats!

    By Ms. Walsh,

    So now my roommate wants to do the semester at sea! Oy vey! It's all fine though...I can live with an open double. But I'm still contemplating a move to the Quad. We'll see what happens.

    Also, I'm on a mission to steal a punch bowl from the dining room I work in. I'm freaking out about getting caught.

    w/e

    By Ms. Walsh,

    Life is good...now at least. Classes are really interesting. I absolutely love my History class, and I'm kind of bummed that I'll only have to take 3 more to get the minor. But I'm sure that it's just because of the material we're covering. It's not like a typical History class, but more like a combination of History and Literature. Today we were watching the Disney movie Pocahontas and I was suprised about how differently I view the movie from when I was a little kid. There are just so many aspects of the movie that made me upset because obviously they were just playing on stereotypes and, while they were giving somewhat of a historical accurancy to the movie, mostly what they were showing was just myth and not truth.

    Spanish is interesting. I talk a lot more in this class than I did in the previous one, which is good. I like Women's Studies. A few of the pieces have been a bit heavy to grasp, but I find that this is a class that everyone should take in her life. I mean, it just gives a better understanding of what it is to be a woman. And, yes, there is that sort of radical lesbian mantra in it, but it's not dominating our entire discussions and readings.

    Economics is good, but it's so complicated. I'm doing this problem set and I have absolutely no idea how to do one of the questions. Obviously, I was just not meant to be a math major.

    There's also this problem with the rooming. So, this other girl wants to room with my roommate next year, so basically it would mean I wouldn't have a roommate next year. Now, I know this girl and I guess I'm friends with her, but now I just don't even want to talk to her because I don't think it's fair that she's doing this to me. I'm not even going to talk with her anymore, which is going to be rough since we're in the same WS class. And granted, my roommate could say no, but chances are she'll say yes and I know I'm going to get upset about it. I mean...I'm already upset about it and nothing's happened yet. I'm the person who started crying when my first roommate told me she wanted to move out, and we hated one another (and I was the one who wound up moving.) I just think it's not fair to me because I already had a roommate issue in the beginning of the year that did not go smoothly at all and, honestly, I don't think that I can risk going through another situation like that, and I had intended on running for HONS and SAA of the house (or Sophomore Class Council), and if I decide not to be in the house, then I can't do that. So I think I'm just going to have to move out of the house and try to get a single in the Quad. I think I'm going to talk to ResLife and maybe the HP, though she'll insist on staying in the house. I don't really like this idea, but that's what's going to happen I guess. Now I regret not applying to ResLife...

    Having a single will be nice, but I'm afraid I'll get lonely and nobody will talk to me. But having an open double (or worse, sharing it w/ someone I don't like) would absolutely suck.

    My birthday has been fabulous! I'm really happy because I was bugging out about the fact that this is my first b-day away from my family. But it's turned out to be one of my best!

    Last evening we went out to dinner. We had some pizza at this amazing restaurant. I love the fact that I go to a college that's in an awesome town. There are so many "hidden gems" here that I have yet to experience. Anyway, the girl that I mentioned in the last entry showed up...but I'm glad that she did. I now realize that it's wrong to exclude people, especially one single person. From now on, I'm going to be nice to her and not make her feel excluded. I mean, she can be annoying, but it's just rude to intentionally exclude someone.

    Anyway, the pizza was great. We ordered two large pizzas: one was a margarita pizza, which everyone likes, and then a chicken pesto which was really good as well. Then we went to this awesome ice cream parlour, which I had never been too...which is sacrilegious for a person at my school, I guess. I had a type of ice cream that's called "Emerald City": it's vanilla ice cream with green jimmies and pieces of Andes chocolate. It was delicious! Then we went to my friend's room in the Quad. (which looks exactly like a hotel...I kid you not! It's got elevators, perfect bathrooms and the rooms are spotless, unlike my house which is more homey and lived-in and has trippy 60s psychedelic flowered wallpaper in the bathroom .) We watched Live Flesh, which is, of course, a Spanish-language film. It was good, but very weird...as those types of movies usually are.

    Then today, while I was at brunch, Steph and her friend decorated our room. They said that they were working on Physics and that they'd join us for brunch, but I should have known that they were being sneaky and that nobody in her right mind would wake up early on Sunday to do homework...at least not until after brunch! But the room looks AMAZING! It's so cool. I wish I had my digital camera here because I'd take photos. We're keeping it up until the end of the month because a lot of people in the house--including Steph--have birthdays in February. So now I'm going to have to figure something out for Steph's birthday, which is on Valentine's Day. I think I'm going to go to Target on Friday or Saturday to buy stuff to make cupcakes and then buy something at Newbury Comics because I have gift cards from there. There's one in Amherst, which I have yet to go to.

    For dinner today, they were serving Superbowl food at the dining halls. I'm not complaining about it, but it's quite interesting that they decide to celebrate the Superbowl at an all-female college where I doubt only 10% of the population is actually watching the Superbowl instead of doing homework. It is Sunday evening after all. Nonetheless, the food was really good. We went to the healthy-options dining hall, and ate nachos with reduced fat cheese and baked chicken wings. It's justifiable in my opinion. And the evening will conclude with an oh-so-fun house meeting @ 9. Looking forward to that!

    As for birthday presents, I got a lot of cards and Steph baked a cake that we have yet to eat. I also got this beautiful bag from one of my friends who lives in India. It's like the perfect bag because I really like totes, and this one is like a tote bag but it zips up which is even better!

    And the homework situation is decent. Okay, I did the most loserish thing and actually went to the library to do homework on Friday. But...it worked out really well because now I'm done with my homework for tomorrow and Tuesday, and I'm actually working on a Spanish oral presentation that's not due until March 3rd!! Insane, right?? So I think that I'm just going to do homework on Fridays now because, let's face it, I have nothing better to do, and if it means looking like a nerd, then well...too bad. I'm in college and my job is to do well in school, so it will all work out in the end.

    Also, I think I'm going to just go for a Spanish major and maybe a History minor. I love History and all, but the major would be pretty useless. Plus, then I'll have time to take classes outside of the major and minor, whereas double-majoring wouldn't allow that.

    Well, that's all for now. I should get back to work ASAP!

    Ciao!

    tomorrow's my birthday

    By Ms. Walsh,

    So tomorrow's my birthday. I'm not looking forward to it. I mean, it's all downhill from here. 18 was a good birthday, but what's so amazing about 19?? NOTHING! And I don't care about 21 either because I don't drink and I don't care about being able to gamble in casinos.

    I'm going out tonight with a few friends. I'm kind of ashamed of myself, though, because I purposely didn't invite this one girl...maybe I should though. The problem is that she really annoys me, but she's good friends with my roommate, and by association, that's how I know her. And I feel bad because with all of us going out, she won't have anyone to have dinner with.

    Oh well...I'm not worrying about it.

    Anyway, I did a lot of homework today, which is good. The only thing I have to do is read 5 pages for Econ and an essay for History, but they're not due until Tuesday so, realistically, I have a lot of time.

    was in bad mood

    By Ms. Walsh,

    I was in a bad mood today. I act like such a bitch sometimes. I'm surprised that my roommate is so nice to me. Oh well...I'm better now. Classes are great, but the work is unbearable! I'm off the art library (with the nice comfy chairs!!!) to do some major Spanish and WS reading. Then I have to go work.

    Guess what? I only got a measly 4 hours of work study. I'm working Thursdays and Fridays doing dishes, and then Mondays I'm a "runner" which looks daunting. Basically, you just serve the food and make sure that everything full and that ther's enough food, plates, silverware, etc. I'm scared about it though. So my friend and I are going to be working at Northrop, the vegan/vegetarian house. The problem, though, is that nobody shows up to Northrop because they all go to the other veggie house nearby...so it's going to be so boring, but what am I supposed to do? I need the money.

    I hooked up my VCR in like the matter of 5 seconds. I'm proud of my accomplishment. Now I'm going to start taping ATWT, which will be nice because then I'll have the videos to keep and cherish for the rest of my life.

    Ciao!
  12. Ms. Walsh

    i'm an idiot

    By Ms. Walsh,

    Classes have been good. I have so much homework, though, which is why I cannot update all the time now. I also can't watch my soaps, which is sad...but I'm going to start taping them next week so I won't fall behind.

    I also have a stomach virus, and it was freaking me out last night. I almost had a nervous breakdown, which is not fun because it's only the 4th day of classes and I can't be stressing myself out about stuff already.

    That's all.

    already slacking

    By Ms. Walsh,

    Today was the first day of classes, and I'm already slacking off. Nice one Rachel!!

    My classes today were really good. Women's Studies looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, yet there's a lot of work involved. I'm really excited about the class though. The lecture today made me happy to have a vagina! There was one guy in the class though. I'm definitely not going to get much rest this semester though! There are like 100 people signed up the class, and as usual, there's a bunch of stupid bitches in it. But that doesn't matter.

    Spanish was great too. My professor is amazing. She's from Spain, so she was telling us about how she always uses the vosotros form, even though we don't have to. And she talks really fast, which is good since I understood most of it. Finally I'm in a Spanish class that's actually going to be interesting! It took me almost 6 years to get through all the grammar crap. From now on, my classes are going to involve actual Spanish novels, short stories, and learning about the different cultures in Latin America and Spain.

    Tomorrow's History and Economics. Looking forward to them.

    They fixed our heater. Hopefully, it will start functioning properly. I still think there's a ghost in it though. We watched this show on the Discovery Channel today, during lunch, about a woman who was causing a poltergeist in her house...it was so scary. I seriously think that there's a ghost in here because there's always tapping coming from inside the wall...like RIGHT NOW! It's scary because it's on my side of the room, right near my desk, where I am currently!

    Well, I have a ton of work already!

    Ciao

    PS. I finished my work. I drank this weird vitamin concotion that's supposed to help you concentrate, and it actually worked really well...after an hour or so.

    bring on the heat

    By Ms. Walsh,

    I think the heater is working fine now. Our room's kind of warm, which is muy bueno.

    everyone's back in the house! I'm really happy!! I got a postcard from one girl who went to Japan during J-Term...isn't that insane??? Anyway, the house is back to being a nice big family again. It's great! This semester looks like it's going to be a lot of fun...the beginning's always the best because nobody has to worry about homework and commitments and whatnot. It's the best feeling: being here and being happy.

    One more day left...lol. Let the stress begin!!

    Anyway...the rooming stuff might turn out to be a bit complicated. I think that a lot of feelings might get hurt in this process because if I don't get a roommate I'll be very upset. The good thing, though, is that no matter where I'll live--whether it's in the big house or the small house--I'lll get an upgrade on the room. There are only 13 first-years right now, which is not a lot at all! I don't know what the quota's supposed to be, but I'm sure that it's a bit more than 13 people. Anyway, with such a low number of people, we're pretty much guaranteed suites and singles by our junior years, and nice BIG singles our senior years. If I can't live in the small house next year, I'll definitely try to get a suite junior year and a big single senior year.

    Also, next year the doubles are a lot bigger and they have added features like bigger closets or two closets, windows on different sides, etc. I'm aiming for a room on the 3rd floor if I'm going to be in the big house. There's one room--across from my old room--that has two windows, two closets, and is a lot bigger...so that's a good choice I think. But there's also another room that's kind of isolated, but it's on a corner, has two windows, one decent-sized closet, and you get your own little area in the hall that pretty much nobody goes to unless they want to use the attic...and it's the room that Sylvia Plath lived in when she was here!! Insane, right??
  15. Ms. Walsh

    later

    By Ms. Walsh,

    The heat doesn't work in our room. Stupid piece of crap room! This is one of the downsides of living in a house that hasn't been fully renovated since 1899.

    Our heater has always been strange. This morning, at 5.30, though, my roomie and I were woken by the heater (and it was supposed to be shut off!!) because water was spouting out of it and it was so loud! And now, it doesn't even work! I'm sure that tomorrow morning it's going to be under 30*. This fricking room is so drafty (and it doesn't help that we have three windows--two of which don't close properly.)

    At least next year I'll be in a house that was renovated in 2000, and I'll only be sharing a bathroom with about 7 other people (as opposed to 20+ people right now)

    Basically, how the housing lottery goes is that you can choose to either to (1) stay in the house that you currently live in or (2) enter into the housing lottery. Since the house that I currently reside in is a complex (with a big house which I live in and a small house), I'm going to choose the first option and wait for the room draw in April. Now, *if* I get a good draw, then I can definitely get a room in the smaller house. There are 11 rooms in the smaller house (5 singles, which I definitely will not get, and 3 suites which I *might* be able to get.) Basically, there are only 3 rooms that I'm sure nobody higher than sophomore-standing will take those three. And, *if* I can't get a room in the smaller house, it will be nice to know that if I stay in the bigger house at least I'll get a bigger room (maybe with two closets?? or a corner room)

    I guess my other concern, aside from the allergies (which are getting better) and the fact that the roomie might not want to be my roomie next year, is that I absolutely do not want to live next to (or worse than that...live with) those "too cool for school" bitches. It's bad enough that currently we live above two of them, and that I used to live with one of those bitches for over a month!! That's why living in the smaller house will be perfect because it's quieter and there's little or no chance that all of them will get rooms in the house.

    Oh well...we'll see...there's still a lot of time, and I definitely shouldn't be worrying about something like this when my time will soon be consumed with massive amounts of homework. 2 days! I can't wait!
  16. Ms. Walsh
    Well, I already have a Live Journal, but it's "friends only" and I have a Dead Journal but it's private. So I guess this wil be my totally-public blog. Plus, I'm kind of a non-fan of fan fiction...lol. I mean, I like what other people write, but I suck at writing fiction. So this will be about my real life, and if it's boring...too bad! Isn't that why we all watch soaps anyway??

    Anyway...

    The second semester is starting in 4 days. I'm looking forward to this semester's classes:

    MWF- Intro. to Women's Studies
    I'm looking forward to this class, but at the same time I don't want to deal with all the "too cool for school" bitches who decide to be WS majors and badger the rest of us to burn our bras and wear rags during our periods. But if I want to continue taking more WS courses, I have to have this course under my belt. Plus, a few people I know are taking it whom I like. So maybe it won't be too bad.

    MWF- Spanish
    Okay, I love Spanish and I'm still pretty sure that I'll be going to Spain my junior year. But 220 is "Intermediate Conversation and Comprehension" and my least-favourite part of the Spanish language is speaking it! I mean, why else would I go abroad??

    TTh- History
    This is the class that I'm looking most-forward to. It's going to be a lot of work because there is a ton of reading involved, but from what I heard, it's a really great class and the prof. is awesome. The topic is "Women in the US 1865-Present." I guess that's one of the perks of going to an all-female school...or is it?? Maybe this semester will be Female Overload and I'll wind up hating my own sex. Who knows?!?

    TTh- Economics
    This class scares me!! I don't think I'm going to do well, but I refuse to get graded S/U because I did that for English last semester. Hopefully, it will be easier...the book looks totally confusing though!

    Anyway, since I've been here I've been kind of lazy. Granted, classes haven't started, so I have every right to do lazy. I have started working out though. I go to the gym at 9 to watch The Golden Girls , and then I go again at 2 to watch ATWT. Unfortunately, when classes start, I won't be able to watch ATWT on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 2.30, and my MWF class ends right at 2, so I'll miss the first 10 minutes then.

    But I'm buying t a VCR! lol! Either tomorrow or Saturday...whenever I get the chance to take the bus to Target or BestBuy. I'm worried that I won't be able to hook it up because the cable is directly connected to the TV. I **think** that I know a way to hook it up. If not, I'll bug my roomie to do it for me...I mean, she is an Engineering major! And if she can't do it, I'll bug some of the other Science and Math nerds to do it. And if nobody can hook it up, then I'll just return it.

    I think it's a good investment because I've been wanting to start taping ATWT for quite some time, and since there's the possibility that it will get cancelled in 2007 (which I pray does not happen!) , I want to at least have some episodes to watch.

    So, I digress...

    I haven't been eating breakfast. Well, I have a Slimfast bar and water, and then I hit the gym. Fortunately, I will be able to watch GG every day at 9 because my classes don't start until 10.30 and 11. That is good because after I work out I can grab something at Hubbard (like toast or an English muffin, since they serve continental...or just a cup of coffee) before heading to class. And then...after class, I'll go to Tyler for lunch. Tyler has great lunches because they serve soups, salads, and sandwiches so, obviously, you can't go wrong with those. I've been eating there everyday for lunch, and it's been really good. Then I'll go to my second class, hit the gym again to watch ATWT, return to my room at 3, shower, and then start my homework at 3.30-4.

    As for work study, I might just do a Sat. brunch shift and a Sun. dinner shift. That way I don't need to go to dinner on weeknights if I don't want to (usually I just take enough food from lunch to make a sandwich for dinner).

    In other news, I **might** not be able to stay in my house next year (at school) because of my allergies. The house is really old and has bad floors, and because of that it attracts a lot of dust. I'm going to try to move into the smaller house, but if I don't I might just have to move into Quad. I don't want to do that because it's too far away, but...we'll see. Hopefully, the housing lottery will be good for me! I don't want to move away, so maybe I'll have to send a sob-story to the housing people and they'll give me a room in the smaller house. Now, the only trouble is that I'll have to convince my roommate to come w/ me. Either that, or I might have a totally different one...which I don't feel like taking a risk on.
