MEGA POST

i am about to compensate for the past week with a million mini posts in 1 epic post. ready set go.

VALENTINE'S DAY:
2 words sum up valentine's day at this college: male infiltration!!! guys were everyyyyyyyywhere: in the bathrooms...in the hallways... all over the dining hall... there has never been so much testosterone on my floor. story: one morning i was brushing my teeth and this guy walked in, wearing (only) his underwear, and they were not boxers. haa he was so embarrassed. later that day, i walked by him on the way to lunch and he turned around and he was like, THAT WAS HER! umm ya, maybe u shoulda put clothes on this morning.

SAFETY IN NUMBERS:
in the ongoing saga to cut down on wmij's videochatting, i have turned vcc into home of the power hour. basically, if she's not in the room, i invite everyone i know (or just happen to see) to sit in my room for power hours. the deal is that we study in silence for an hour, then take a short break, then resume studying. when wmij walks in and decides to videochat, she interrupts a power hour. consequently, she often gets awkward-ed out and chooses to leave. this example of safety in numbers has so far worked out amazingly well. also, everyone refuses to sit on her side of the room, because they're afraid they're going to get AIDS or some std from her bed. so usually a bunch of people sit on my bed and some sit on the ground. this means that when wmij comes in and sprawls out on her bed while everyone else is cramped for space, the whole situation appears to increase her evilness.

90 SECONDS OF FAME:
this "game" was soooo awkward. in the group interview for RA selection, we had to stand in front of about 100 people and talk about ourselves for 90 seconds. WHICH IS A REALLY REALLY REALLY LONG TIME, but you dont realize it until you're standing there and instantly run out of interesting things to say. some people were hilarious, though, like the girl who spent 45 whole seconds telling us how bad she was at sports, and then on the last second, she casually mentioned she was recruited to play 3 varsity sports here... but no big deal. then there was the girl who talked so fast that it was basically impossible to understand any coherent words. every time she stopped to gasp some air into her lungs, it was hilarious.

TAI CHI UPDATE:
tai chi dude is proving to be fairly passionate about tai chi. if he is faking it, he's doing an epic job. also, he has turned down the intensity in his girl-catching game. perhaps he finally realized no one wants to hear pick-up lines that relate to tai chi before 9:30 am. about time he smartened up.

THE END OF BIKRAM/THE BEGINNING OF LIFE:
bikram is over, which is kinda sad. and kinda fantastic. sometimes i almost miss it, but then i remember reducing myself to a pile of sweat every weekend and not enjoying it as much as other things in life. also, i am not willing to pay $$$$$$$$ for torture/personal improvement. thats wat college is for. instead, now i do bikram poses randomly throughout the day, either in the library when i get bored of studying or when im brushing my teeth (tho this def got awkward a few times when people walked in) or when im waiting for the elevator. for some reason, i really enjoy massaging my pancreas and standing on one leg and doing back bends, but not in an environment that only bacteria can naturally withstand.

LAUNDRY
i did my laundry on friday. i know, we've only been at school 5 weeks, but i was 4 days away from running out of socks. i knew i should've brought a bigger suitcase back to school after winter break... then i could have brought back all my socks. since laundry is so much work, i hafta do it all at once. i took 6 loads to the huge laundry room upstairs at 1pm, in the hopes that i could wash it all at the same time. of course, that was wishful thinking. in the end, i had laundry machines going on 3 different floors. i set alarms to make sure i wouldnt leave any loads in the machines, but this got to be too confusing with alarms going off practically every 15 minutes and me running up and downstairs, trying to remember what alarms went with which laundry rooms. fastforward to the dryer cycle, and i completely forgot about half of the loads... luckily i remembered at 9pm, resulting in a whole lot of wet clothes in my room. EPIC FAIL.

CONDITIONER:
yet again i have run out of conditioner. i dont even know how it happens. its not as tho donatello didnt give me enough at the beginning of the year. the shampoo and conditioner bottles are the same size, yet i go through 3 or 4 bottles of conditioner in the time it takes to use 1 shampoo bottle. ugh duane reade is soooo far away...

RA INTERVIEW:
because i have no foresight whatsoever, i thought the question 'what is ur biggest weakness?' to be completely out of left field during my RA individual interview. my response: well, i dont really work efficiently, so i often end up staying late at night to perfect things and then the next day im not really focused but i manage to stay awake tho i probably act really weird... (ramble, ramble, ramble)... basically, it was a major struggle. but when i told my RA about my answer after the interview, she thought it was really funny. umm ok then, except the interviewers did not descend from the strain of human beings that laugh. proof: someone i know told them she had too many weaknesses to choose from...and the interviewers didnt laugh at the joke. they were like, 'feel free to elaborate on them all, we have a lot of time.' ahhhh awkward...

THIS WEEKEND:
trent and mkat came to nyc! it was bunches of fun. tho we ate at many cheap (for nyc), but excellent restaurants, i counteracted all that saving by losing a metrocard that still had 20$ on it. soobs says i'll find it, but idk. also we didnt get much sleep, as expected, and consequently i have fallen asleep on the subway twice in two days. luckily, both times i woke up by 96th street and managed to get off the train before harlem and the bronx.
on saturday, we all went to the ny public library, which completely violated my idea of a library. firstly, sex and the city the movie was filmed there, so its way too cool to be a library. secondly, its open til 6pm, but there should be a law that libraries cant close before 2am, since only slackers and efficient people leave the library before 6pm. thirdly, there were many raunchy statues and paintings, so the nypl should really be classified as a museum.

PROCRASTINATION:
procrastination is at an all time high today. i have 3 papers due this week, but i easily found the time today to watch the grey's anatomy episodes that i've missed. right now, i could also be writing those papers, but this post is wayyy more important. in a few minutes i could put on a little black dress and go to the academy awards party on my floor, or i could write a paper. hmmm what will i choose... ha lets just pretend that im actually going through the decision-making process on that one.

ok thats all i can think of right now, but its sufficient since this post probably beats all of le franq's posts put together.
