Oh, boy…I rarely complain on this blog, but MAN I hate it when some songs are overplayed…the same six songs have been played in Kelly’s side of our room. Not just all afternoon…not just all morning…but all weekend long. All weekend. “Leaving On a Jetplane,” “Miss Jones,” “If You Want It,” “Sweet Home Alabama,” “You’re Everywhere to Me,” and one other. All afternoon. All yesterday. All evening. All Friday. Now, don’t get me wrong, they’re wonderful songs…but all weekend? All six? For up to nine hours at a time? I’m so glad I have my Discman, so I can blast Moby, David Bowie, REM, any of my 56 mixes, or any of my 20-some soundtracks in my ears when I can’t take it anymore…oh well, if this is my first complaint on my blog, then I really should be grateful to have my roommate. And I’m especially grateful to have Kelly after hearing horror stories such as Lynn’s roommate from last year, who wouldn’t even let her CS major roommate flipping TYPE after certain hours. And Kelly’s not at all like Becca’s roommate, who says LIGHTS OUT at NINE, and LIGHTS ON at SEVEN, meaning Becca has to be DEAD QUIET during those hours. Honestly, who needs 10 hours of sleep a night? Anyway, my point tonight is, living with people teaches you a lot about…how people live. That some people are content listening to the same six songs all weekend, and some people simply do not function without 10 hours of sleep, and so forth. I love my roommate…I just don’t love six songs all weekend~

Brunch was good…I ran into Grant while in line, we made plans to go to dinner at the Village this week, that should be groovin’. I also ate lunch with Sarah, a really nice girl in my Art 141 class. She’s a senior. My Art 141 class mirrors Ms Madden’s Photojournalism in that I’m the only underclassman in that group. I loved Photojournalism since I was the only sophomore in a class of seniors, and I love Art 141 because I’m the only first-year in a class of upperclassmen. It’s great. Sarah’s great too…she’s a media studies major, told me why I should be a media studies major (a possibility!). So yes, I was rocking.

Then I came back, studied for the Math 30 test all afternoon. Our Math 30 test is this Wednesday, I’m scared. So that’s why I studied, see. It makes sense. I had three welcomed interruptions during the afternoon: one from Mandy, who went with me to Motley for some Green tea, one from myself, who decided to go downstairs on the hamster wheel for half an hour, jogging 1.6 miles, then the last one from Becca, who couldn’t take her Core paper anymore and decided, if we didn’t go for a walk, she would go insane. So, I took her around the parameters of our building.

I then read a bit. Then Camille and I did some voice newspaper stuff. We then went to dinner, then Becca, Mandy, Camille, Katie, and I gathered round and peer edited everyone’s papers. I think Camille’s is the best of our lot, though I didn’t get to read Mandy’s since she had to leave. Everyone gave me some wonderful comments, and I think my paper is a lot stronger because of it.

I then went to a study break my peer mentor, Alex, was holding with her roommate, Sarah. They were baking cookies. I showed up, then had to go to church, so I went there. A woman professor said our homily; she was very profound. Then I came back, talked to Alex and Sarah for a little longer, and then I finished my Core paper. Now that that’s done, I’m going to bed~
