Breathe

I think I have the nervous breakdown under control. I planted my ass down in the library for four hours last night, but I didn't have a lot of work due today, so I was able to get a jump start on the massive amounts I have due tomorrow. I still have a reasonable workload tonight, but it's seeming a little more manageable than it did on Saturday. Plus, Octagon Fair is over, so that helps. One less thing to stress over. I also managed to get the perfect amount of sleep this weekend. I don't feel groggy and I don't feel tired. AND, I scrubbed my room down and did the massive amounts of laundry that were piling up.

Not to mention, I decided to be bad and go out Saturday night. It's nice to be completely back to normal with Emily. I missed her. You-know-who is still completely insane though, and has decided that since Kayleigh and I never stay at the Branch until last call, we're anti-social. Ooookay. As opposed to her, who just sits there looking bored and not talking the whole time. Whatevs. And she was "pacing herself" with her drinks (aka, judging us). Right. Because one of the three of us has managed to puke in the sink in the pantry. I'm pretty sure it wasn't me or Kayleigh. So continue to pace yourself. Kayleigh and I really need to get our drinking under control.

My favorite thing that happened at the bar this weekend was: we were playing Photo Hunt, and "Jungleland" (fave Springsteen song #2) came on, and Emily goes "this music makes me want to cry", and I'm think "great, here we go with how bad Bruce is", but I didn't say anything about it. Then later she goes "I said that song made me want to cry, not because it's bad, but because I'm starting to develop an affinity for Springsteen, especially that song, and it reminds me of this summer at the lake." Now, I don't want to say I told you so or anything, but this just proves that I am always right.

So, I love campaign season. This is the window in my room right now:

We have an Obama AND a McCain sign. But McCain is bigger and in bigger print, so I win.

This is my door. Kayleigh had to write Obama '08 on our whiteboard, because she doesn't have a cool sign, and then we wrote "Bipartisan Roomie Love", because, well, we love each.

Now, the interesting thing is that the president of College Dems lives right smack across the hall from me. Here is her door:

Now, personally I think mine looks better. The small thing is a sticker for John Tonello, who is running against George Winner for State Senate. She's missing something for Eric Massa (Randy Kuhl's opponent), but other than that, we have some serious sign wars going on. It's amusing, but at the end of the day, I don't really like her, and my door looks better (and more colorful, thus, more eye-catching).
