Homecoming weekend has come and gone and I am pretty much exhausted. I am out of practice at partying after this season, as evidenced by my failure to make it out past 12 on Thursday. I didn't even attempt Tuesday. (It was supposed to be a big week, okay?) However, I did well on Friday, which was good considering that it was Halloween. Friday marked a great start to the weekend: I woke up nice and late, did some work, ate a leisurely lunch, turned in my degree application form on time (surprising!), and tutored Burmese children. And by tutor I of course mean that I let them crawl on me while I watched Dr. Doolittle.
So, my Halloween costume. I made a valiant attempt to portray M.I.A., but I am just a smidge too blonde and white to make it work. So I resembled more of an 80s prom queen-M.C. Hammer hybrid, which was really just as good.
Saturday morning was not as rough as you might have expected, but I had to wake up early to help facilitate the Class of 2008 Homecoming reception on the Long Walk... this job did not end up being important at all and I was quickly dismissed. I had some breakfast and went to my room to get ready for the game. Then I got a headache and laid around watching tv for two hours, so I missed most of the tailgating action. Figures. I did show up right on time to watch Trinity win, so I don't feel like I totally wasted the day.
Gabe and I went to Outback, which he loves, and it was pretty good I spose. The highlight for me was that one of our fellow diners was... dun dun dun.... Cave Mary! Wtf? She was looking pretty snazzy too. We got back and decided not to go out; instead we watched Idiocracy, which was very funny.
On Sunday, I brunched with my friends, and then we went to Target and bought a mattress pad to improve Gabe's bed. It's two twins pushed together, which is awesome except that the mattresses tend to slide apart and except for one single time, I am literally always the one who wakes up nestled in the crack. We bought a mattress pad- and also I got a blue fleece and a flannel shirt. So clearly the trip was a roaring success.
After that I was going to work on my paper. Obviously I should have done that since now I am way way way behind. But I had just gotten a bound dissertation on Angkor via Inter-library Loan (finally, in my senior year, I have figured this out) and I was excited to read it even though my seminar paper's not due for a month. So, I figured I'd go with Gabe to his stupid dance thing Danae roped him into and watch him practice. I too became roped in, and ended up sitting there for four hours. So, now you're pretty much up to speed, because since I got home, I've been sitting here trying to get these papers done. One is already late :'(
I need to do my work for once now, but check out Sport Graphics for a truly amazing cover page photo from Head of the Fish. I'm stroking.
