Party Time

Well, it's approaching Thanksgiving…tests and quizzes are occuring, and classes are starting to wrap up a bit. We're writing our last paper for humanities class, for instance. Mine currently contains 600 words about Albert Einstein's hair, so I am pretty thrilled, as you can imagine (don't worry, it's a legitimate topic, and his hair provides suitable evidence for my thesis). Also, we're soon starting upon our CS final project, for which I'm suuuuper excited. Physics is very quantum, as it should be.

This weekend there are going to be two fun parties rather than one…usually there's about one thing per weekend going on major-event-wise. Tomorrow night, there's Funball, which involves a lot of candy, blacklights and techno-music. That one's hosted by East. Then on Saturday night, there's a fancy-dress party called Long Tall Glasses taking place, which should be nice. I even got a dress! It's shiny! Yay.

If I haven't mentioned this enough, I really, really like Thursdays. I got to sleep in until 11:20 today, meaning I got over 9 hours of sleep. While it is perfectly possible to get a nice amount of sleep here with the right amount of applied effort, as I've said before, I will admit to averaging around 5-5 1/2, so that much sleep is a rare commodity for me. It should be helpful for Chem lab today, as it means I'll be less likely than usual to totally muck up our experiment through my own clumsiness. Ever since I toppled that one flask in the ice-water bath…

It's been a long week. A long several weeks, in fact. I'm looking forward to going to see family for Thanksgiving Break. Mind you, I feel a little sad missing out on Eastgiving, the Thanksgiving celebration held by East for those trapped on campus during break. But seeing family is rare and nice. It's a good thing that I've ended my vegetarianism in time for this holiday. Bless you, buffalo wings that broke my will power against meat.
