Entertainment

So, I think God was having a day of laughter at my expense...

There were several times today where things just ended up being much harder than they needed to be. When I was in a rush, things would take forever. For instance, I had 3 classes, back to back, today. In between the first and second class, with only 10 minutes to get to the second class, I ran to the restroom and then I went downstairs in CEBA to grab something out of the snack machine. Needless to say, the vending machine had a long line, it wouldn't take my dollar and it didn't want to give me my M&Ms (God's way of telling me I didn't need them?). At the last minute, as I was about to put another dollar in because, dammit, I wanted those M&Ms, the machine finally let go of not only MY M&Ms but the bag behind it also. I could hear the snickering.

It wasn't just that things were harder than they needed to be, they were also easier than I wanted them to be. After a short workout at the Rec, (not the Pilates I normally do on Thursdays, I was, of course, late to that class), I called in an order of Chinese food (bad, I know) to pick up on my way home. Since I was only a couple of minutes away from the place, I tried to take my time and drive through campus. Needless to say, I hit every light green.

Go figure.

50K

So, from what I've heard (and this was something I had never heard before), they have a run makes a marathon look simple. 50K. 32+ miles.

Dude.

I get a pain in my side even thinking about it.

In other news, I got a new cell phone today. Not the prettiest one out there, but it has gotten good reviews and, so far, I like it. Now I need to find some kind of obnoxious cover to put on it.

I also have found a roommate for the summer in Houston. She is also interning with Deloitte, but in the external audit side. Now we just need to find a place to live. I talked to an apartment locator today and I should have a few choices within the next week. I think we are going to try and live in Midtown (If not, we'll certainly be in the loop).

Yeah, that's about it.

Hip-Hop

So tonight I took a hip-hop class.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA AAHAHAHAHHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHA

Man, that was some funny shit.

First off, my lack of cordination made the class a little difficult. It brought back memories of old dance classes where I would eventually get the steps, but only much later than the vast majority of the rest of the class. I may not be a fabulous choregraphed dancer, but I sure have fun doing it.

The most entertaining aspect of the class was the instructor. She had the most pronounced southern accent I've heard in a while, combined with a valley girl speech pattern and a sorority/st. joe's academy tone of voice (you know, the really bubbly, somewhat obnoxious one). She really was quite funny. Instead of saying "Okay?" it would usually just come out a "K?". It's almost as if she was talking in the short-hand communication most people use for cell phone texting.

Celebration

Happy Birthday Carrie!

Randomness

Well, I *think* I'm finally done with Mardi Gras for this year (and I'm only thinking this because its Ash Wednesday and it all should be over). I had fun at all the balls/parties/parades that I went to and I'm looking forward to taking a break from all that social activity (really, i can't keep it up). As mardi gras'd out as I am, I may be joining the Krewe of Jupiter next year. I'm thinking about it, but I'm not sure I should spend the money when I'm living on school loans and tax returns. I haven't let lack of money stop me from anything else, so I am pretty sure I'll be joining...I'll let ya'll know.

The light bulb in my closet went out the other day. While I was on the ladder, changing the bulb (my ceilings are high, and I'm short. Don't laugh.), I discovered a bag of old pictures and postcards that I was trying to put into a scrapbook a couple of years ago. Actually, this is a project I pick up every couple of years, so I'm sure it will never get done. I found a conversation, written on a napkin between Mary, Maureen, Melissa and I at Holly's wedding. I think it was her wedding, because Mary's parents were in attendance. It was just one of those gossippy conversations. I'm not sure why we were writing it down on a napkin. Were we bored? It was pretty damn funny. Now, if only I could find the scrapbook (it wasn't in the bag). Mo? Did you steal it? I know there were things in there you didn't necessarily approve of...Is it keeping the High Life company?

You know it's Mardi Gras if there are restaurants trying to get your business by advertising free public restrooms.

It Makes Me Want To Cry

Yangtze Cafe' has closed! I don't know why, but they have. It may have something to do with Ms. Susan (the little old lady who runs the joint), but there was never any anouncement.

Where am I going to get really good General Tso's Chicken??? Where else will they know me, not by name, but by order???
