i hate housing

as you can probably tell by the title, i'm not particularly enamored of the Tulane housing office right now. after everything that's happened, not getting a room, getting stuck on the wait list, worrying that the four of us weren't going to be placed together, i thought i was done with it all. room assignments were supposed to be sent out today, and we'd see where we were, and that'd be it. no more wondering, no more worrying. except for one little thing- no fucking room assignment. i mean, shit, this is a pretty important thing for students. you'd think that tulane would be considerate enough to keep to the schedule. assholes.
ehhh, enough of that. i probably should be doing something productive with my time instead of complaining about housing. it's not like i don't have any schoolwork i need to do. my politics paper in particular is due in two days, and i've barely done any reading for it. i meant to do that this past weekend, but i got a little lazy. after having to get up before 8 friday to go meet with my advisor at 8:30 so i could register at nine, i didn't get to sleep til 5 the next morning. i then woke up at 9:30 to head downtown with jaya and raleigh for french quarter fest. that was fun, just wandering around the french quarter all day listening to different bands, watching street performers, getting some sun. correction, a lot of sun. probably not the best move, especially on my tattoo, but hey, at least now i'm not so horribly pale. i'm pink instead. after we got back, i was ready for a nap, but wound up going to play tennis with mike, jared, and ryan for a couple hours. decided not to go out drinking that night, stayed in and watched velvet goldmine on jaya's suggestion. strange movie, good but strange. i probably would have liked it better if i had been more awake, but i was pretty much dead on my feet by then. i barely made it to big easy with jaya after the movie, but i'm glad i did, cuz i decided to splurge with my last few greenbucks and got myself a buffalo meltdown. that is now my new favorite food. three big chicken tenders covered in hot sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, lots of cheese, ranch dressing, all thrown on a huge bun. i couldn't finish it all there, i had to take it back for later. then, with my stomach extremely full, i lay down contentedly and slept for about twelve hours. after waking up at 1ish, i did nothing for the rest of the day, just relaxed. actually the whole weekend was like that, just very relaxed. it was a nice change from normal, when i go out at night, do a lot during the day, have to worry about school, that sorta thing. it almost felt like summer. speaking of which, only three weeks of class left, then two weeks of finals, and i'm done. it's so close, i can almost taste it. i'm ready for school to be over. not ready to leave my friends, or all the fun here, but the actual classes? oh yeah. now if i can just get this politics paper done, that's it until my finals, no more actual work. which is good, cuz i have some big weekends planned before the end of school, to be capped off with a little something i order last night, called absinthe. but i'll talk more about that later. right now i have to go watch a storm, maybe do some reading for politics.
