Waiting for the End  
Since the end of midterms, I've felt totally burned out. I can't stay awake long enough to do any of the readings, and I'm falling behind in class. Not good. I told myself I'd work hard during Thanksgiving weekend, but that has not been the case. Right now, I've got two big projects due, one for marketing and one for statistics. I don't dislike projects per se, but they really, really suck when they are going on concurrently AND I'm totally confused in class AND I'm suffering from some form of narcolepsy.

On a happier note, I've brought joy and laughter to many of my coremates. No, that's not quite right. What I should say is that my coremates have gotten much joy and laughter at my expense. How, you ask? Well, let's see...

Incident #1: At the C4C Halloween party, I showed up as a naughty Catholic schoolgirl. Ever since, my classmates have been joking about it. So this one time in marketing class, we were watching a show on media, marketing, and teenagers. Britney Spears showed up on the screen in her "Baby One More Time" outfit, which may I say, LOOSELY, LOOSELY resembles my Halloween costume, and then one of my teammates, someone that I thought I could TRUST, decides say my name in a "Hey, it's her!" tone for the entire class to hear. The entire class burst into laughter. So mortifying. I just buried my face in my hands and thanked God that the lights were turned down so no one could see my beet-red face.

Incident #2: We have a secret Santa thing going on in our core, so they were passing around a signup sheet in class, where you wrote down your name and any suggestions for gifts you'd like. I put my name on the signup sheet and left the suggestion area blank. Some people who call themselves my friends decided that it would be oh-so-funny if unbeknownst to me, they wrote "A good, hard man" as something I would like for Christmas. All these people in class were laughing and making odd comments, and I didn't know why. I am so mistreated. Where is the love?

Argh, I can't wait for this term to be over.
