So, the fact that I didn't blog once this break should tell you something: it was nice!! I was never bored enough to sit down in front of the computer and type something out.
So, I never posted this, so probably a lot of you didn't know, but DYLAN came back with me for spring break. That's right. My boyfriend from North Carolina. Slept in my house, stayed with my family, for an entire week. Pretty crazy. I really didn't know how it would turn out, which is why I think I was afraid to tell anyone that he was coming down.
But it turned out to be a really, really nice break. My whole family warmed up to him really fast (even Kim! Whoa!), I got to show him my hometown and all of that fun stuff, and most amazing of all: we didn't get on each others nerves!! If anything, we are much closer now. So yeah. Very nice break indeed.
I just have to last through one more quarter...just one more quarter....

Now I have to finish reading the first act of The Taming of the Shrew. Byeee! (as Hannah says)

I just got back from my last final. Man, who knew linguisitics could be so hard? I definitely didn't get a 98 on the final. The test was FOUR questions, and it was worth FORTY PERCENT of our grade. Crazy. I know I missed points...it all depends on how hard they grade it. I think it's funny, too, because there's a guy in my linguistics class who I know from German, but we never talked in linguistics, until today, he asked me how I thought I did on the final! People are funny, sometimes.
Now I have to go pack...I'm coming home!

Yay! Cammy's back from her spring break! I didn't get to talk to her for over a week...I never knew how difficult that is!

Ok, what do you think of this:
The whole group of dorms in my area of the campus are called the Segundo dorms. And every dorm building in the Segundo area has its own group of smokers that gather outside the dorm at random times of the day to smoke. Except my dorm, the Integrated Studies, or "nerd" dorm. So some of my friends, namely Scott, Chris, and Daniel decide to buy a pack of cigarettes and stand outside and smoke them, just so that we don't look like the big nerds in the area! A lot of my other friends, like Kaylan and Liz and Alicia, are really upset with them for doing that. I, personally, think it's kind of funny...as long as no one starts doing it regularly!
Just felt the need to blog what we Davisites do in our free time. Basically, take up smoking for fun.

ps-ONLY ONE FINAL LEFT! But it's on Monday :(

Q: What kind of underwear does King Tut wear?

A: Fruit of the Tomb!

This joke has been brought to you courtesy of Laffy Taffy (R).

I got a 98 on my linguistics midterm! I got a C on my last one, and I was pretty sure that I got the same thing on this one, despite studying about 6 hours for it. I can't remember the last time I was so happy to get an A!! It gave me new energy to study for finals.

I decided to quote Cammy's roommate (and good friend) Sarah, regarding my views about the upcoming election. She makes me laugh:

"I really don't know what to think of the presidential candidates anymore. Bush is obviously bad, and the democrats should unite to get him and his neoconservative nannies out of the White House, but who are we replacing him with? John Kerry? First of all, John Kerry is a scary looking man. I do not trust his horsey facial characteristics at all. And whats more, he is still a pansy fence rider. Second, unless John Edwards signs up to be his running mate, I think we're in for another close election. Ah, John Edwards, with your beguiling smile and southern charm... you're too good looking to be in politics, you fox you. Finally, whats the deal with Kerry being so effing vague about gay marriage?"

I agree completely.

I reallyreallyreallyreally don't feel like studying for finals. Don't make me!! I don't want to do work!!

I love the notes that I get from my RA:


That's actually how my RA Peter talks. He's a DJ (if that explains anything). And he's Mormon, Hannah! He cracks me up.

Oh my goodness. Yesterday I watched possibly one of the saddest films I have ever seen: Dancer in the Dark. Actually, I only watched the second half of it--but that's more than an hour, and it's probably the most difficult part to watch. It's about this Czechoslovakian immigrant woman (Bjork) in the 1950's, who has a heredity disease that makes her blind, and she doesn't want her son to get it, so she's saving up all of her life savings to pay for his operation. She even kills a guy so that he won't take the money that she's been saving. And then she gets the death penalty because her lawyer sucks. And I won't give away the ending, but you can probably see how the movie's plot is a bit bleak. Oh, and there are random musical numbers thrown in, since she likes to imagine her life as a musical, since "nothing dreadful ever happens in musicals." It's so sad! Did I mention that yet? But I liked it. So if you want to be depressed, go for it.

Oh yeah! On a lighter note, I went to dinner at my Constitution Professor's house last night (well, the whole class did. Don't worry, it wasn't just me.). But it was SO nice! First of all, my professor is like, 70 years old, so he's this nice old man, and his house is all cozy with squishy furniture, and his wife was really sweet too. And everything they made for dinner was vegetarian! And I didn't even tell them I was vegetarian! They got eggplant and feta pizza (yum), and this really good salad with avacado, and chocolate chip cookies!! I had three servings of everything. So much tastier than the dc.

Ha ha ha ha ha
It's about pinatas.

When the weather gets sunny and in the high seventies, like it is today, it makes me really want to go some place like here:


Spring break, here I come! (After a few finals, of course.)

It's probably just me, but I think Jack White looks really hot in this picture. And I don't really consider Jack White an attractive person.

Very belated Oscars photos. I felt like putting them up, even though no one cares anymore.

First, my lovely Jude Law (who looks like he's getting a bit old):


And then, I must say that I thought Scarlett Johansson's overall outfit looked really nice, even though it wasn't the most original:

OH MY GOD! The bored people of Davis have discovered an awesome way to have fun! Ok, here's what you do:

1. Get as many people as you can
2. Get as many bouncy balls as you can
3. Find the elevator and get inside it
4. While the elevator is going up and down, throw the bouncy balls against the walls and the ceiling, and duck and cover, so that none of them take out an eye.

It's SO fun! Eight of us got in the elevator and entertained ourselves for like, 20 minutes throwing bouncy balls at each other!

Yes! My 20-minute speech and presentation on the death penalty is DONE! If you guys have any questions about why it should be ruled a violation of the Eighth Amendment, come to me--I'm your man. Or woman. But now all I have to do is write the 12-page paper on it! Luckily that's not due until next week.

The other landmark event that happened yesterday: I voted! Woo hoo! I'm a real adult now! I felt so stupid, because I had NO idea how to do it. I mean, I figured out how to punch the card alright, but I didn't know how to tear off the top of the ballot, or where to put it or anything. Ah well. There's a first time for everything. I voted for Kerry. Much to Dylan's chagrin, who voted for Kucinich. But at least he didn't give me too much crap for it.

Man, staying up late to work on a presentation sucks.
