old school games

ask for new blog. nothing really there yet, but....hopefully there will be soon!

last few days have been exhausting. flurry of graduation-related activities, both school-sponsored and friends-sponsored.

well, maybe more later, but for now suffice it to say that i am graduated!! and will be in hawaii by tonight, so maybe my graduation news will be supplanted by hawaii news by the next time i post :)

This is what we were like today in sailing:

We went super fast and were heeling (it makes the boat go faster sometimes) for a good portion of the time. I was way over the side of the boat. EXCITING!! Once I turned too fast and then lots of water came in the boat and my shoes were soaked. But other than that it was all good :)

Happy June! In 20 days I start work in NYC. A strange and scary thought. I will have no friends and no time to make any. If you are in New York, though, stop by and I will give you a place to crash even if I can't provide actual company :D

heat

Whenever it gets hot here (high today: 97 F), the entire campus degenerates from its usually active state into a sluggish and torpid mass. Students stop playing tennis, biking, even going outdoors. No one can concentrate on studying because of the heat simmering in their un-air conditioned dorm rooms (yes, that's right, not a single dorm on campus has AC). People either escape to the cooled classrooms on campus, or close their windows, pull their curtains, and lay low in their rooms until the sun sets.

I, being too lazy to find a suitable building to escape to, always opt for the latter. Today I idled in my room looking up restaurants for 5 hours, ate a lot of ice cream and took a cold shower, and am now blogging. Yes, I'm from Texas, but Texas has air conditioning EVERYWHERE! I am spoiled. And the heat makes me sleepy.

books

I have read 71 of them since the beginning of sophomore year!

Unfortunately, since my to-read list continues to grow, I have only managed to cut it from 42 to 37 books long. Darn. I need to waste less time.

[I'm told that I look angry when I read]

grilled cheese

Sitting in Old Union right now, semi-studying for photo midterm tomorrow. I got a grilled cheese sandwich to keep me company, and it is delicious. I know that American cheese should by all means be disgusting, but sometimes it tastes so good!

*fails at being classy*

recovered!

As of when I woke up Thursday morning, I felt great. Ahhh, I love my immune system. It's been a long time since I've been sick for more than a day at a time.

Another Game tonight! Traipsing around the Bay Area starting at 6pm tonight, not to return until tomorrow morning.
