Retrot... It's A Word Because I Wrote It

February 10, 2010

SO tralala, I’m sitting in the library. I just did a whoooole project and I’m feeling very productive. Today has been a good day. Adventurous too. I got up at 7:09— 9 minutes later than I was supposed to. And that’s a big deal on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in case you didn’t know, since I have a class at 8:30, meaning I have to leave at 7:30, and I refuse to wake up at 6:anything. So I really only had 21 minutes to get ready. I did it! And I don’t look half bad, if I do say so m’self. I like my makeup today. Then I got to class and it was funny. I even got to get a bagel in the lounge and eat it BEFORE class. Then, in Environmental Science, I got my quiz back from last time—BAM 10 out of 10. I’m amazing. So…then afterwards, I retrot? (past tense of retreat-GO!) to the lounge to do homework and watch Maury and Jerry Springer—also a Tuesday/Thursday ritual. Surprisingly, I’ve noticed a few regulars and we’re all getting along swimmingly. Also, CUTE BOY ALERT. He may or may not have been gay, but that’s not the point. I saw him and he talked to me. We laughed over the girl’s phonetic spelling of her name: Key Key. It was magical. After that, I tore myself away before I could get engrossed in Steve Wilkos and went to the Lower East Side to try to find the owners and return the key they gave me to get into my apartment when I locked myself out yesterday. It was GLORIOUS outside…sunny and not too cold. I listened to the radio and sat on the bus for 20 extra minutes because a wheelchair person had to get on. But it was ok! I got there, wandered around the wrong building for about ten minutes, called, found the right building, wandered around the wrong floor, found the right floor and finally found the apartment. :) THen I gave him the keys, told that cute little man to rest up, and left. I saw a dog with the teeniest booties ever. Then I asked a Rite Aid man to direct me to the nearest Subway and he said, “What number are you looking for?” and I thought he was stupid until I realized he meant train station and I meant food. We had a good chuckle. Then I ate at Subway and it was delicious. Then I came back and got directly to work on a project for Dance Culture on “the Shakespeare of ballet,” JEAN GEORGES NOVERRE. I even added a fancy border on my word document—yeah, I’m SO technologically savvy. And now Im biding my time until 5:50 when I get to visit Public Speaking. Joy. But I did my homework so RAHH, I’ll know what I’m doing. And I’m kinda happy cause both projects that I have to do this semester were assigned to me in the second week of classes, so it’s out of the way! Tradida, it’s a lovely day. Have you had a lovely day? Thank God for it…He loves you. :) Also, SNOW TONIGHT! Ostensibly, anyway…

Yesterday was, in fact, a blizzard. I watched Pride and Prejudice with my roommate, and was inspired to make a snowman with a Mr. Darcy flavor. So I went on my roof and made Mr. George. He turned out to be less like Mr. Darcy and more like a 1920s banker with a bowler hat and a mustache. But I liked him anyway. :) I also am declaring my major--as a double major in Art History and Studio Art. Rah!
