Behind The Big E

Ever had one of those weekends where you just know it’s going to go badly? Something happens like, oh, I don’t know… THE FREAKING FIRE ALARM GOES OFF AT 2 AM!

Yes as you may have guessed, we had a bit of excitement at Totem this friday night, and we were none too happy. Many of us still groggy and in pj’s, some of us still dressed and energetic, and others caught at a bad time, and forced to race downstairs to the commons block in their underwear. It was quite the experience, but I’m not surprised. We were warned.

I, myself, was sleeping, because I’m just such a party animal (ya… right), and at first thought it was someone’s alarm clock and tried to sleep through it. The first hint that it was not what I thought was, was when my roommate leapt out of bed in fear of his laptop being sprayed.

But all ended well, I guess, and we all went back to bed, hoping that the rest of our weekend would be more relaxing. Well except when it’s totally bogged down with assignments due for monday. Drat! Such is life I suppose. Best thing to do in my opinion is just keep on truckin’ through it, so you can enjoy your Sunday night.

And enjoy it, I did! It just goes to show that my technique works… for me at least. Although there were certainly times when I was bored to death. There were a couple other moments when I just stopped to think and realized: I cannot believe I have been just doing homework for this long.

In the end, just getting it done without going crazy is all that counts, and that is definitely harder than it sounds.

Can anyone think of a better way to spend their friday afternoon than listening to a religious lecture? That might as well have been a comedy club, because I was almost in tears.

Stereotypes are a funny thing, sometimes there is a bit of truth under that ugly, yet amusing shell. In this case, it was pretty true, given the amount of “side stepping”, subject changing, and flat out lying that was going on. Like always, reason got us nowhere, as the lecture quickly elevated to heated debate, and even at one point a shout-fest. You really need to verify everything every person says in order to get anywhere, otherwise it just turn into a circular battle of “YA HUH!”… “NUH UUUHH!!!”, which is rather painful to listen to. Best part by far was the logic that we shouldn’t have fish fossils because they float when they die…. Yes, he was serious about that. *sigh*

But, as always, it’s the subtle inconsistencies with reality that we all see combined with the completely outrageous claims that form our decisions, not that anyone changed their world view because of this anyways, well not mine at least. Guess that means I’m just as thick headed as everyone else. Oh well, at least I try.

Greetings to the blogospere!

I’m pretty excited about starting this, so lets get down to some non-business before I someone explodes from the anticipation.
