stoopbeckSome days you just can't win for trying.
However. That doesn't stop me from being happy about the amazing [and overwhelming like whoa] spread we had in the Dining Hall today. Eight or nine tables with food artistically placed at varying distances, a cool drink fountain thingy with nasty drink, hot fresh pretzels, shrimp of several kinds, chicken of several kinds, cake so dense it was almost a black hole, very loud music, balloons. It was amazing. Plus, they gave us free candy. I guess it was sort of a last gasp for Sodexo, since we're totally firing them and hiring a new group. On second thought, maybe I shouldn't have eaten the food. Maybe they poisoned it. As long as I'm not dead by the time I go to London, I'm okay.
Yes, I know, I'm rambling. But I've got a good excuse, honest! I went to bed at three last night after last minute studying and strange onion pizza-related issues, and then for the next few hours tried to ignore the cloying heat of the doorms. Seriously. In my delerious half-asleep state, I was convinced that I'd been banished to hell and that it was somehow the fault of my demon/Indian rainstick, rescued from a rotting building yesterday.
The mind comes up with crazy stuff when you're sleep-deprived, what can I say?
Now all I have to do is give a presentation on Ran and how it relates to King Lear, and I'm free for the rest of the day. Now if people would just stop angrily buttonholing me, I think I'll be able to make it through.

Date: 2006-04-28 09:56 pm (UTC)Not so much painful as awkward and time-consuming. And frustrating. If someone's legitimately angry about something, I don't mind listening and feeling angry for them. If they only talk to me to bitch about things that they're not going to make any effort to change, or just to make me unhappy... what's the point?
Also. You guys' presentation? Totally my happy moment for the day. *big goofy grin*
