424. It's pronounced twenty-ten.

I am on the beach. Barefoot. Watching fireworks. Sipping wine.
If 2010 is full of this that would be fine by me.

Why do college students get such long winter... →
And sometimes your school gives you extra time off so they can have the environmental policy dorks talk about the Green Economy for three days.
Or something like that.
DAMN YOU 1970’S ECONOMY, THIS BREAK IS SO LONG! (Though at the moment wholly enjoyable.)
Clearly We're In A Bit of a Lull
Sorry for the lack of posting; I’m in Naples (!) with Moyer(!) and we’ve been spending lots of time in the sun.
Yes. Take that people who actually get to enjoy snow. I spent my afternoon tanning. On a beach.
FLORIDA IS SUCH A SUPERIOR STATE

“The End of the 00s: The Naughts: A Progression, by Regina Nigro
2000: Read Atlas Shrugged; was insufferable.
2001: Crafted mopey journal entries; was insufferable.
2002: Derided third wave feminism in college newspaper editorial; was insufferable.
2003: Lay awake contemplating Being and Time; was insufferable.
2004: Wrote several “ask me any 5 questions and I’ll answer...

I echo the ohyeahfacts sentiment and add, Ben, if you still read this, you were kind of right, but I was more right (le plus choses changent, le plus ils restent même).
ohyeahfacts:
Hope everyone who celebrates had a Merry Christmas.

GOD IT IS SO GOOD.
(I totally got a Crysta doll for Christmas many years ago and had a very hard time trying to incorporate her with my Barbies because she neither looked like any of them and she was so small that she couldn’t wear any of their clothes except Skippers. Awk.)

Signs I’ve Been in College Too Long: There is Fresca at Sis’ right now, I decided to add cran-raspberry juice. Hailey asked what I was doing.
Me: Well it’s basically a mixed drink right? Just minus the vodka?
Hailey: AKA MINUS THE BEST PART.
Jean(!): So, funny story about vodka…

The time has come, she admitted reluctantly, to buy new metallic flats.
The question: silver or gold? I have had both and don’t know which ones I would rather have. Thoughts from the peanut gallery?

Mindy Kaling Writes Her Own Script for a Perfect... →
I’m sure this has already hit the tumblrverse but Danielle sent it to me and I just read it and it is amazing just like Mindy Kaling, who is completely fabu and pretty much describes my feelings on this topic perfectly, as she is wont to do.

Bah.
Even though I know I shouldn’t, every semester I calculate what my GPA would be if I had dropped Chem 23 (aka done the sane and rational thing) my first semester. Even though there are any number of things that have affected my GPA since then (a good smattering of B’s, including a B- in French 104, which was NOT my favorite class ever) but this is the one thing I dwell on most.

1) I’ve been out of Durham for about 36 hours. Things I’ve realized that I have forgotten:
- My basic black/grey cardigans which were hanging on the back of my door.
- Bathing suits (sometimes I forget that I get to go home to Florida, slash have plans to spend New Years in Naples).
- My perfume (actually, I left this on purpose but realized quickly that I wish that I hadn’t,...

WHY IS THIS SEMESTER NOT OVER YET?
A: Because I cannot finish this damn paper from hell. English seems like such a poor choice in my life right now.
Regardless, 10 hours until the library closes; hopefully I will be done before that.

Finals Weeeeeeeeeeek
I left the library at 2:30 AM or so.
I slept, showered, dressed, got a bagel and made it back to the libz by 11:30 AM.
And nothing had changed! Some people literally haven’t left (aka Manda) some people have left and come back (Brimmer, Chrissy) but regardless, it feel like that 9 hour break didn’t even really happen.
Except for the part where I now have an outline of my paper...

Duke Class of 2014 Facebook Group →
This simultaneously makes me kind of excited and horribly sad. On the one hand, I always love seeing these groups because they’re always so excited and full of anticipation and nerves and awkwardness. And wise old person that I am, I know that Duke can and hopefully will be even better than they could realize right now. And once upon a time that was us— that stuff from our own long...

We’re all losing our minds a little bit in the library. Recent events include a discussion of porn, a really funny eprint prank courtesy of P.Bhat and B.Klein (baby Boarder extraordinaire), wishing on stars/birthdays/11:11 and lots of dirty/judgy looks from Brimmer who seems to think we should be working or something.
And it’s only 11:15! By 1AM we could all be high on E. And...

“She was twenty then, four years younger than the niece whom, in obedience to her...”
– Deciding voluntarily to writing Faulkner is an early sign of insanity, a later one is starting to feel like sentences like this are completely comprehensible and kind of perfect. I will never feel bad for my lyrical, overly-complex writing style ever again.
