Yeah, yeah....

I know I said I'd be working on my Anthropology midterm. I know the technical due date is tomorrow, but he's giving us until next week. I know it's been a week since I've had the assignment...I just have this procrastination urge. Call it... a call to blog, if you will.

I've had a couple of interesting experiences today, unprecedented ones. First of all, I brought the wrong folder to a class. x_X I have not done that this entire year, which is surprising even to me. However, true nerd as I am, I noticed that I didn't have the folder while I was at the office hours of the professor for whose class I needed the folder, so there was still time to dash back across the bleeding hot campus to get it. Seriously, folks - it was hot today!

Second unprecedented thing: I left my phone on vibrate during class today. Not on purpose, you must understand. It just... happened. But THEN -- the really incredible thing: I got a text during class!! I always check my phone after class, hoping against hope that I was important enough to merit a message in that hour from 1 to 2 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays -- but never anything, until the day when the bloody thing isn't on silent.

Oh, well. No one noticed, anyway.

I also realized a couple of things that I just think might never change, and I wanted to write them here.
Person X will always be shockingly tactless in conversation.
Person XY will never, ever finish her homework before coming to class. Not this semester, anyway.
Professor XZY will always bother me, even though I try not to be bothered by her. It's a personality issue. (though today, it was a me-defending-some-other-student-that-she-treated-wrongly-thing. Or wanting to defend. I didn't say anything....)
I will always inevitably switch my iPod to Sam's Town while I'm at the gym. (People, have you HEARD this album? The Killers are incredible. I swear, I feel like I could do anything as long as I'm listening to 'When You Were Young', and I feel like the coolest person in the world during 'Bling (Confessions of a King)'. I think I might have even stayed on crew if they had played this during practice, and that's saying something. BTW: I'm officially OFF the team, as in not coming back next year. Just wanted to make sure y'all knew it was official.)
The menu at Founders will never be what I was hoping for it to be. Best to not think of it at all, and then, you know, it might show up!

I also was thinking, just, for the heck of it about what I would miss if I lived in a space station. I would miss sunshine -- nothing else on your skin feels like sunshine does, you know? Even in winter, that warmth is so comforting. And another thing I'd miss -- the feeling when you're hot and sweaty for one reason or another and a slight breeze just catches you and it's the most blissful feeling... Yeah. I'd miss that.
And I'd miss the smell of freshly mowed grass. I feel like if space-station-grass were grown and then cut, it still wouldn't smell the same.

Gotta love this earth, man. Woman. Sorry. I forget I'm still at Mills -- gotta watch myself!
