Pirates and Problems

"All is well that ends well." I hope that actually works in real life or things could suck next year. Just remember kids, I've always got a plan.

On to this weekend's debauchery.

Friday: Took the day off! We went to pirates dressed as pirates; The Four Horsemen as well as our resident Gunslinger and TKO. It was quite fun, especially since the movie was pretty good and we didn't get too many crazy glances.

Getting there on time was helluva difficult though, since we decided to leave later than we should have. Mr. Anderson's picnic was quite interesting, 'cept for me realizing that I clearly am not an outdoor person. I guess thats why I should work in an office :P

So yeah, we got caught in beltway traffic, ut ended up missing like ten minutes of the movie overall, so things were not as bad as they could have been. We had dinner in a sports bar after, which was quite fun. It also served as a time when those few who remembered cameras got pictures.(Note to self: Get those pictures)

Saturday: Went to Mele's end of the year party. Dan kinfe fight scared the shit out of me. Elan and I winning a game of pool against actual good people was also a highlight of the night. So was cheating in Apples to Apples. Not that I did.

At night, we be on Vent. We be playin' Dota.

Sunday: Since I spent the night by Elan, I had to go home to clean up some. Packed up books, and ended up reading the Dark Tower for 20 mins. Went to Connor's bday thing, which was fun though I only knew two people there. Man of the Year was pretty good, and Rigged War is sort of fun, so was Jenga poker.

Being there meant I missed ninja tag, which to be honest wasn't heartbreaking for me. I think I've outgrown running around with swords in the forest, or I realized that it was fine for me not to want to do that with Elan and Corey. Came late to Elan's, played some Dota. Owned with Pandaren.

Monday: Woke up at Elan's at 12. Grandparents coming back at 4. It is 2:19 and I'm still blogging. Woe is me.

Lyric of the Day:
"It was a beautiful letdown
When I crashed and burned
When I found myself alone
Unknown and hurt
It was a beautiful letdown
The day I knew
That all the riches this world had to offer me
Would never do"
-Switchfoot:"The Beautiful Letdown"

Random Story of The Day:
Dancing to the DOTA song with Collins and Elan :D

Good news for people who like ironic news

So the semester is over, and even though I was looking forward to being able to relax, I'm spending craploads of time working. This semester was good times for the most part, though there were some stressful/retarded times. At least I only used 2/3 of my stupid things to do a semester this semester!

Let's look at the highlight reel.

-Crazy Europeans: Let's have an insane Math class with a cool Swiss/Italian teacher who has no idea what a curve is! At least this was responsible for Tim and I hanging out more. No more midnight math for me! I'll miss those guys...

-Joe's new no-sleep policy: I think I've learned to sleep with the light on. Man, I'm such a good roommate. Best thing ever was hearing "Joe, finish your food!" when TKO saw his row of half-finished doubleshots.

-Team LIFE: Think of an idea, get it approved by your favorite teacher, get people to vote on it. This was so stressful, as you can see by what I realize were extremely bitchy journals. At least I have Ryna and the status of team leader :P

-Valentine's Day: Giving boys roses is like giving little kids guns. Hilarious in theory, a bad idea in practice. At least no one died.

-Holi: What's the best part about going to an event like Holi after most of the dye is gone? Pushing girls/Joe into pools of dye water. And slip and sliding.

-GTV: Planning summer camp was actually quite fun. I can't wait to work with Jmoss again. Who knows, I may even end up joining Maryland Shakespeare players!

-Bridges: Built two by myself. Felt good, but it will probably take its toll on my grade. Statics as a whole sucked. Probably had to do with knowing no one in my class. A lesson is learned, but the damage is irreversible.<--Stolen from webcomic Ryan reads :D

-Housing next year: Well, Lim and I are moving across from Revolver, but next to problems. Who the hell chooses to live next to the RA? Joe and I, apparently. Yikes and Jen are living on the Women in Engineering floor...This should be amusing :P

-Cakes: Driving near the VA border with TKO and Clee to get a cake was a ridiculously fun experience. So was the "surprise" party after. Everyone had fun and enjoyed it I think. Making TKO's cake was also a fun experience, even though Revolver did more for it that I did. But that's cuz I went to see Brokeback Mountain. Even if it wasn't with everyone I thought it would be with :P

-The Angels of Death: The best 4 person team in Gemstone. Returning from LAID we had Big D and the always amazing JMoss. Add in two dashes of work ethic, one with the ability to edit and worship a TA (ET), and one with the ability to get the word ethnical passed as ethical(Yikes), and you have the most powerful strike force assembled in Gemstone. Hopefully I get to hang out with these kids more next semester(but not to the point where they tire of me :P)

-Irony in Physics: I got a high A- in a 3 credit class, and a solid C in a 1 credit class. The result a 4 credit B+. There is no justice...and thus the title of this entry

Lyric of the Day:
"Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own (on your own)
So don't buy in.
Live right now
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough
For someone else"
-Jimmy Eat World:"The Middle"

Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades...and finals come

So today was one of my less glorious days. Slept through Statics(forgot to set my alarm), did alright on a physics test, got one check plus out of four journals in Gems.

Well at least I went to Badminton for the first time in months, which highlighted how out of shape I got...

And finals are coming...

Lyric of the Day:
"We're all the same
And love is blind
The sun is gone
Before it shines

And I said if the answer is no
Can I change your mind"
-The Killers:"Change Your Mind"
