i kind of feel like Miranda from SATC in that the thai food takeout lady knows our orders almost by heart now. which is almost sad, today when i ordered she said, 'no iced tea tonight?'

except this isn't due to lack of life but rather due to bad dining hall food and being too lazy to take the bus there for dinner at night and also having too much work and i slept at 5am last night because i was distracted at different times by two roommates (no, not mine) who seemed to take turns asking me very personal questions while i was trying hard to write my paper which was due the next day. those koreans and puerto ricans.

yes. i have written my first college paper and pulled an 'all-nighter' because of it (slept at 5, woke at 8). i am officially back in school now, i think. haven't done one of those in AGES, and i like it in a very masochistic english-major way but i think my paper was not very good, which is sad. i have also adopted the american habit of drinking coffee (starbucks) in the mornings and carrying around those thermos coffee cup things to keep warm and keep awake.

so far in my stay here it has snowed (and for the uneducated, it really SHOULD NOT be snowing at this time of the year here), i have experienced a ten hour blackout in which i had to shower and get ready for class in the dark, there was a fire alarm prank at four am and ... a lot of rain.

also tagboard doesn't work and if someone could advise me on how to remove it and install a new one that would be much appreciated.
