Busy, Busy

I’ve been meaning to write something the past couple of days but it’s been crazy busy. I’ve had 2 essays and 2 tests this week on top of all my usual crap. On of them was on The True Story of Ah Q by Lu Xun. It was an interesting and entertaining novella but I just couldn’t care enough about the essay to make it all that good. The second was about explicit memory for my psych recitation. The paper was only worth 5 points and I think I did a fairly good job on it. At least a job woth 5 points.

On Tuesday I wore the armor to World Regions. It got a great reaction. People keptasking to take their pictures with me and I got called up on stage. The audience was full of camera phones and digital cameras. Who takes a digital camera to a lecture? Anyway, by the end of the lecture, the armor was killing me. The crotch on the abdominal plate was killing my pelvis, my shoulder was on fire, the helmet was driving the nose piece of my glasses into my sinuses, and the straps that keep the sleeves from moving were cutting into the skin between my thumb and index finger. I thought the lecture was only going to be 50 minutes so I was pretty happy when it was almost over but then he kept going for another 25 minutes. I wanted to put myself out of my misery.

Yesterday, I ran some errands and did some shopping. I was only going to look for a snack cause I’m going back up to NOVA tomorrow but I ended up buying a ton of junk food. Ice cream, Cadbury cream eggs (delicious), danish, these pre-mixed root beer float drinks (alright but not as good as the real thing). I also ran into Michelle, a girl from work at the store and gave her a ride home. We used to work together all the time but now she hardly works and they are all different days from me. She had actually called in sick that day which I thought was kind of disappointing but it’s par the course for her.

I was thinking about it recently and all my posts (when I do) have been me whining about stuff in my life. There is very little socially relevant stuff or news commentary. I want to try to add more of that type of material to future posts. I’ll probably just start posting whenever I find myself yelling at a news article or something.
