For No Reason

Yea, so i get bored...and it makes me want to update. So here's the latest:

Nothing special going on, I suppose. I'm eager to get back to Blacksburg, but at the same time I'm enjoying lounging around here with nothing to do. I only have one more day at home, seeing as I'll be heading back on Friday for this weekend's football game.

We're seeing the first snowfall of the season here in Manassas. It's quite nice, just enough to cover the grass, not screwing up the roads or anything. It certainly gets me in the holiday mood.

I went back to my old high school today to visit my Spanish teacher and pick up the package that was intended for us Tech kids. She's so sweet, she still sends us poor, starving college students baked goods. Hooray for sneaking into my school :) I didn't really sneak in, I just didn't follow exact procedure for visitor check-in. As in, I didn't. Hooray (also) for knowing all the back ways into school, because God knows that security is tight on the last day of school before a break. The administration is ever vigilant for the smoke bomb that won't go off, ready to bust the kid that won't come running through the hall ways celebrating. It's interesting to see the old place, they've re-painted a lot of stuff and they're changing the classroom format from "open" to "normal." For those not familiar with open classrooms, it was a hippie idea from back in the day when the school was built to encourage communal learning, allowing students, teachers, and resources to flow between "rooms" and promote overall learning.

Present day translation: one class plays bingo while the AP class takes a test. It doesn't work.

So they're walling off the classrooms, requiring all the duct work to be redone, so I was greeted by many "do not enter" and "danger - hard hat area" signs, which I pretty much ignored. I was on a mission to get baked goods. And Lord knows, nothing stops me from oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

I suppose I should've been studying over the last few days, which I have indeed been attempting to do. I usually wind up falling asleep over my Biochem notes. I think I'm sleeping too much, I just never wake up, and thus I fall asleep throughout the day. Who'd 'a thunk it?

Yea, on that note, how crazy is it that two weeks from this very moment, I will be sitting at home again, probably doing this very thing, updating my blog to create a review of the semester.

Eerie. (cue "Twilight Zone" music)

Either that, or I will be passed the hell out from not sleeping during those two weeks. The joys of being a biochemistry major. Envious?
