Proof that the 90's was the best era for music:

Sunday Stumble Day

Because I have nothing better to do.

Quote of the weekend:

"Want to go to lunch?"

"I don't want to date you."

2 Thanksgivings and 16 hours of work later:

It's been a long weekend. And it's not even over :D ! But I've had to spend most of it working, which isn't cool.

Reflecting my first Black Friday experience: People are batshit crazy. Seriously, let's all line up outside of Kohl's at one in the morning to grab shit and wait in line for another hour. Or two. And bitch at the employees for things that aren't their fault. I guess it's my job as a worker of the service industry to put up with bitchy people, but still. This is the start of the holiday season, people! Let's begin with a little empathy, please.

So after working an 8 hour shift (2:30 AM - 11 AM) I decided I was in need of some retail therapy myself. So I did some shopping. And bought some new clothes. And guess what? I feel better! It's amazing what new clothes do for your attitude. I can't wait to wear them.

I thought Thanksgiving at home this year was going to be awkward, for a number of reasons I'm not really at liberty to say. Let's just say I wanted to go home, but I didn't want to deal with all of the shit that came with it. I've found myself nostalgic for the way things used to be lately, especially when it comes to family sanctioned events. It's sad. I LOVE college, but I miss being normal. I'm not really sure how to say it. It makes sense in my head. Because being in college is normal - I'm just not sure if I like who I've become in college.

Why does stuff have to be so hard nowadays?

Ha. That's what she said. ;)

Bored on a Sunday morning

I had a great weekend, surprisingly productive. I judged for a high school debate tournament all Saturday and earned a good 50 bucks. I decided I wasn't very good at it, but I had fun anyway. It was also initiation day for the Delts, so I went and congratulated them on making it through D-week with their dicks and dignity intact (pun intended). And then I still managed to get up early today to do my homework. But the remainder of my homework needs to be printed off, and seeing as how the library doesn't open for another half hour I thought I would spend some quality time Stumbling.

And then I stumbled across an article about an interactive public art display in NY this summer. This is one of my favorites:

For some reason I just really like it.

EDIT: The library doesn't open til 1. Add 1 hour to time spent stumbling.

Harry Potter 7, and a multitude of other thoughts.

GUESS WHAT TONIGHT IS. THAT'S RIGHT, HARRY POTTER 7 MIDNIGHT PREMIERE!

It's going to be epic. And I really, really love my school for getting us free tickets and an entire theater to ourselves. What more could I ask for? Not much, that's what.

On another note, I'm trying really, really, hard to finish my paper that's due tomorrow. Basically, I have until 10 o'clock to finish it, because that's when buses start loading to Edwards. In the middle of which, I have to work the door for the drama department's production of The Passage, which, despite riveting summary, doesn't look all that appealing. How exciting can you make Moby Dick? "Not very" is my prediction.

But really, my life is going to be a lot easier after today. I realized when I was eating lunch how much I just wanted to be able to sit around and do absolutely nothing. How gratifying it would be to not have to worry about a paper or reading that is due in a never-long-enough amount of time. This paper is ruining my whole Harry Potter let's-get-psyched experience, really raining on my parade. And the killer is that it's been doing this all week, its only today that I've actually found the motivation to sit down and write it. And what do I do instead? Take a Facebook quiz to see which Mean Girls character I am and write a blog post.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS RIGHT NOW!

T-minus 7 hours to pump this shit out. LET'S GOOO!

Stumbling...

I had a fabulous day.

It started off well. I woke up refreshed, even after getting to bed ridiculously late last night. I stopped at Dutch Bros for the first time this morning on my way to work, and decided that's the only way to have coffee. I went to work and got 4 credits, which is the only time that I've ever filled my shift quota - one per hour. Then I talked to my best friend up in Moscow the entire way home, and a good 20 minutes in my room. I went to dinner with some of my best friends HERE and had a delicious chicken-cheese quesadilla, only to discover that it was curly fry day. Then I made this wonderful masterpiece.

And then I watched Harry Potter and made Nutella brownies with my friends.

I. LOVE. MY. LIFE.

Also, I have this sweet bruise from giving blood.

Update: My bruise is turning cool colors. :D
