Oh, the discomfort I endure for fashion...

Adorable in theory, Heinously wedgie-tastic in practice.

Finals are in two weeks...

There's really nothing like waking up bright and early to a full day of nonstop reading.

Also, can I just say that I love the term, "joint resolution?" Not as a drug reference, I think it just has a nice ring to it. Also: AUMF. It just rolls off the tongue really nicely.

A little holiday secret...

I really don't like Thanksgiving food.

It's amazing how much more passive-aggressive I've become in the past few months.

Just now, I got into work only to find some grad student doing homework on my computer (which is only technically my computer in that it's the only one in the lab with administrative privileges given specifically to me for work).

Instead of asking her to maybe swap computers, or ignoring the situation altogether and accepting it as a nice break from work, I got on another computer and started eating lunch really loudly.

Oh Caesar salad, you are so fresh, leafy, and full of flavor! I hope my impassioned savoring of your crispy hearts of Romaine (coupled with crunchy garlic croutons) won't have an adverse effect on other peoples' ability to learn!

FYI: It worked. She left. Victory is once again mine.

Goddamn, I'm immature.

Who needs sunlight, anyway?

If anyone needs me, I'll be sitting on the couch in my underwear for the next two weeks doing this:

I'm sorry, Matt.

The most gorgeous boy at UC Santa Cruz has class at 10:00 every Tuesday and Thursday morning somewhere on the east side of campus. I know this because he and I are consistently on the same bus every Tuesday and Thursday morning, and I consistently have trouble not staring at him.

That is all.

How I spend my days...

kerfuffleshuffle: i'm listening to dirty rap music and cooing at pictures of adorable bunnies and puppies and kitties
wisepanda4188: I'm not really surprised, to be honest
kerfuffleshuffle: one day, i'll find someone who shares this hobby
kerfuffleshuffle: and we will probably be BFFL's and get married maybe
wisepanda4188: or at least a civil union
kerfuffleshuffle: yeah

Mama would be so proud.

Being the diligent student I am, I finished my legal theory paper Monday night, despite the fact that it isn't due until Thursday.

On Tuesday, for the hell of it, I chatted with my professor about what I'd done with my essay. He advised, albeit very nicely and helpfully, that I cut about half of the 8 pages (i.e. almost completely rewrite it all), read 500 pages of another political theorist's essays, then try to look at the prompt from a different angle.

So that's all I'm doing today. I'm not going to study much for my bioethics midterm tomorrow (despite my being terrible at all things science), because I want to get an A on this fucking paper. It's not even because I want to ace the class (which, okay, I totally do), but more to prove to myself that hard work really does pay off, and that I can do this.

Hooray for self-motivation!

I hate this paper.

Oh my God, I fucking hate legal theory. And legal philosophy. Fuck them and the people who write their stupid, idealistic, rambling, incoherent, 800-page treatises.

This week needs to end now, thanks.

Someone call the waaah-mbulance!

Halloween was really disappointing. Now I'm just looking forward to Winter Break. Mmm...
