A Leg Grows in C Minor

Ah Christmas. I don't remember when the last time I wrote was, and I can't look back at the moment because it took me a half hour to get here. I finished the book I was reading while I was waiting for this slow, slow contraption. So, in case there is overlap or I forget something, I'm sorry. I'll start with Christmas Eve. We went, as always, to my grandparent's house. My cousin Adam wasn't there because he had the flu, and we don't want my grandfather contracting any strange viruses in his state. Other than that, the dinner went without a hitch. I had some shrimp, pasta with red sauce, pasta with linguini sauce, some more shrimp, and there was a huge plate of cookies for dessert. I got some soft pajamas from Lauren which was cool, and I gave her the book that I just finished, which Angie gave to me and I know she'll love. My grandpa also gave away a TON of money to my mom and my uncle (I accidentally peeked at their checks) but my mom wouldnt...

Well I'm home for Winter vacation, I can tell by the crappy computer I'm using. It literally took me 20 minutes to get to the page where I can add new entries in my blog. I had to get my book and read it while I was waiting. This computer is horrible. Besides the computer, everything else seems to be going just fine at the moment. This is probably because I haven't checked my grades yet. After that, it might just go downhill. But no worries, Christmas is coming up, and I just last friday finished my shopping. As I've probably mentioned, I bought things on E-Bay this year. Four presents, to be exact. It was so fun, and now I can't wait until the people I got them for open them and see their uniqueness. Also on friday I got a cd player system installed into my car. It seems to be working perfectly, and I'm loving it, since I've never been able to drive and play cds before. Joe accompanied me to Circuit City and Eastview, and I think we both had...

Well it must have been right after I ended my last post that I started feeling sick. Last weekend I just remember saturday through monday being total shit. Saturday the chills started, by monday I had a fever of 101.4, and I had to do a presentation in the afternoon that day. My professor realized that I was feeling HORRIBLE and she decided to bump up mine and Alex's presentation from last to 4th. It's a good thing because I really couldn't sit there for 3 hours and just wait without coughing and sneezing and feeling crappy. That was my last day of classes, and I didn't have a final til thursday, and by then I was feeling a little better. My cold is FINALLY just ending but now I have a random toothache. This past weekend Angie came to visit before she flew back to Michigan and we exchanged presents, she got me a few books that I can't wait to read, and from what she's told me, she enjoys the "Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" book tha...

So my first weekend back at school... I don't have too much to write about, but I have free time to write so I thought I would now before the blog got to be overtaking everything with its long-ness. Anyway, we played 4, count them 4 broomball games in one week. Usually you play 4 the whole season, but we were awesome and kept winning all our playoff games. We finally got to the championship on thursday night and BEAT the Cheshire Cats. So now you are reading the blog of a member of The Clovers....the new co-ed recreational broomball champions for fall 2003. The other members include the excersize machine: Angela Silco, the hottest member: Patrick Scalisi, the wall: Pete Tuzzolino, the moving wall: Nick Covall, and the guys who never seem to get tired, Tim Hanley and AC...something. There was also our captain, Emily Wood, who was not at most of the games but when she was there, you could tell. I think our team was amazing and I'm glad we have t-shirts to show for it...

Wednesday night was the big "everyone go out" night for probably most towns, and in Geneva it was the same. I saw people I haven't seen in about 4 years, and some people that I see constantly. I had a drunkenly good time, even though I got split up from Joe and ended up talking to Sue and Cody Morrow about smoking cigarettes. I found Joe again at the end of the night and he gave me a ride home. Thanksgiving Day was different from past thanksgivings, but still a good day. Usually we go to my grandparent's house, but since my grandpa has been sick, we went to my aunt and uncle's house instead. My Uncle Billy deep-fried the turkey and it was the best turkey I've ever had. I bet it was really bad for me though, he went through 4 gallons of oil to cook it. We ate earlier in the day, like normal people do on Thanksgiving. Usually we wouldn't eat til around 5, but my grandpa gets tired more easily now and we decided to eat dinner around 2. After I got...

Well obviously my paper is finished now. Hopefully it's of a good quality, but mostly I'm just happy that it's done. Of course I have another 2 papers due (my last 2) the week after Thanksgiving break so that sucks too. I'm getting to the point where I really just don't care about the quality of my work. Okay I have 2 weekends to catch up on, and they're both pretty interesting. On friday the 14th I was a good girl and didn't drink at all. This was because I was hooked to electrodes all night sleeping at my internship. Yes, I volunteered to be a subject at the sleep lab and they gave me the royal treatment. It was me and Arick who volunteered to sleep there, so we got there and filled out some random paperwork, then I got hooked up first. Imagine having to sleep with 5 electrodes on your scalp, 1 on each side of your head (near the eyes), 2 on the chin, 1 under the chin, 2 on the chest, and 2 on each leg. PLUS there was a "flow" me...

I know I know I'm not writing in here very often....but since some people won't stop sarcastically reminding me to write (accchem Joe) I guess I'll have to. These past 2 weeks have been pretty busy, I had a test on tuesday and I have a big paper due next wednesday that was supposed to be monday but she moved it. So....I'm a little happy about that. I will write very quickly about events occurring for Heather's birthday and after that. So 2 saturdays ago I went to Buffalo with Emily. We got to Heather's boyfriend's apartment, and a bunch of people were there, but not Heather or her boyfriend (Bob). This was a SURPRISE party which I had failed to pick up on. So Bob called Emily's phone and hung up, which was the sign that they were coming over, and we all hurried to tape plastic cloth thing on the door and fill it with balloons. We all waited around til we heard them come up and yelled "Surprise!" That was cool, and she had no idea. ...
