… cuz I was bored. And too productive. I’m about to start homework that I scheduled to do tomorrow. In case this makes no sense to you, when I get syllabi, I immediately plug in assignments so that I know exactly what I have to do, when. All this is possible due to Google Calendar, which, besides Gmail, is the best tool they’ve ever made.

Now I have Valentine’s-hot-pink finger- and toenails, and a dry 10-page PDF about employment-based health insurance to read. I already read some 50 pages of really terrible history of the blues. The last two portions of this assignment were great, actually: Langston Hughes and James Baldwin.

I feel a little lonely, as Eddo’s 5-class learn-a-thon has completely devoured his life. I don’t have my constant talk-buddy. I have my Daft Punk, my Talib, my Cascada, instead.

This week is starting to feel completely crazy. I wish I could march down the hall to another room where I used to go, half because I needed interaction, half to break the steamy tension between my two friends who were not yet dating. But now they’re dating, and all anyone can feel around them is in the way.

Also, I don’t know what to do when I leave college. Not quite pertinent, but worrisome still. I have the Princeton Review’s Best 172 Law Schools looking at me, and I can’t fathom why I once wanted to do law. Mind you, this was 3 months ago.

Boring technical updates: after, oh, 2 months of work on the student government’s WordPress tester, I have decided I want to use DRUPAL, not silly old WordPress! Wow! What a phenomenal waste of my winter break.

Moreover, I was turned down for a light-commitment job. And I researched and wrote a 1,600 word research paper on sugar beets in a total working time of 10 hours. And I kind of need another vacation.

Hey not to be tooootal stalker but I saw you and some cute girl at the Arnold football party. I was the dork writing a paper about the agronomy of sugar beets, not noticing when team A or B scored a touchdown.

May your day tomorrow be better.

wait wait i did see you then! did you have a mini laptop? and were sitting closer to the table? I was like is that her? yes? no? maybe? and i thought it was but i didn’t want to be weird and be like hey i follow your blog? I’ll totally wave frantically next time i see you

YES THAT WAS ME!!!! And I had the same thoughts at the time, plus you had an adorable date or something, didn’t want to ruin that. We’re definitely gonna talk in person next time.

Part II of the Valentine’s Project: COMPLETE.

I am a… gnostic negative broad friendly open passive non-religious atheist.

Someone put a lot more energy into this than I ever would have.

You know you go to MIT when the market in the student center has its own iPhone app. This occupies that grey area between really ridiculous and AWESOME.

…The student center in the middle of everything. I, for one, think this would be useful. If anyone ate there with much frequency. This would be extra-sweet for Anna’s.
