Dead Week
11.30.05 (3:52 pm) [edit]
So, it's dead week. I'm not dead yet but school is slowly killing me. For instance, I spent 7 hours working on various things related to my Statistics class, all of which are due by the end of this week. Finals week is looking pretty good though: I have a 1 page essay due on Monday, my Enviro final on Tuesday, and my Stats final on Thursday. Sometime inbetween all that I plan on doing something CrazyFun. (If Microsoft can coin PowerPoint, then I can coin CrazyFun.)
I did have a bright moment this week: It snowed yesterday! I woke up to a world that was all white--except for the roads. It wasn't enough snow to cause major travel concerns (the buses were still running) but it was enough to make everything look pretty. And it was enough to make me daydream all day. And then it snowed for another two hours in the afternoon. I'm talking real snow too, not tiny pathetic little snowflakes. It actually snowed HUGE cottonballs. I could barely sit still and finish my reading in the library because they were such giant snowflakes. Alas, I do not have any pictures because I am still not in the habit of carrying my camera. (Note taken. It will be in my backpack tonight.)
And if you are planning on going to any Christmas parties anytime soon, may I reccommend not going to the one sponsored by your campus Fencing club. Don't get me wrong, I think fencing people are nice and I love the sport. But do not rely on them to plan or host or partake in anything that could potentially be a "fun Christmas party." In case you were wondering, last night was the WWU Fencing Christmas party. It was supposed to be a white elephant/mega snacks/movie night/party. We had 10 people out of a club of 30 show up, which made the white elephant exchange pretty boring (especially because I was the only person to steal). As far as snacks go: someone brought a bag of popcorn and I brought a 12-pack of soda. Not much snacking happened. And since the movie ("By the Sword" was the intended show for the night, I think) was forgotten at home by the movie delegate, we tried to play sardines in the Communications Building. Sardines can be fun, but not in a building full of locked classrooms. After an hour-and-a-half of painful fun we called it quits and all went home. Oh well. I'll make up for lost CrazyFun at the DIRT Christmas party.
