On Thursday, pretty much the entire 2nd floor got dressed up as something that started with D or U (for Delta Upsilon) for a costume party in the frat's basement. Sean and I dressed up as dominos (cute, i know). This is us with Gina and Mayra, wonderful girls who live down the hall. (This awesome pic is courtesy of Gina) They are dressed up as Doublemint Twins. You can't see it, but they have the exact same shoes on. People got pretty creative. There was sa Dildo Unicorn, David dressed up as Derek Zoolander, Jomar and his girlfriend dressed us Up and Down, Katie was Doris Day. It was all good fun.

And my hair looks pretty fucking awesome in this pic, don't you think??

ONE MORE DAY

all i have to do is get through this one day sanity intact...

tomorrow sean is coming for an entire week. the long awaited and much anticipated day is almost here. god it's so close i can almost TASTE it. i honestly can't believe he is going to be here, right here, in person, in berkeley, not 800 miles away for 7 days. it won't seem real until i see him at the airport and get to hug him and hit him really hard for taking so long to come visit me. and then i'll get to tote him around and show him off to all my friends. it's all rather exciting isn't it?

and we have the whole suite to ourselves for the weekend (all my roomies are going home). need i say more?

wtf gwen

okay.

don't get me wrong. i love love LOVE gwen. but as cool as she is....the rich girl video is pretty freaking bad. the pirate idea is cool (i'm absolutely convinced tony had something to do with it)and gwen looks hat as always. but honestly. wtf. gwen faired much better in the no doubt videos. so not only should gwen have released "hollaback girl" or "bubble pop electric" as her second single, she shouldn't have made the rich girl video. if there is anything gwen should learn from "rich girl," it is that choreographed dance is definitely not for her.

so i am going to sit here and pretend that i didn't see that video. cuz it almost ruined the song for me.

bottoms up

so i bought this juice from the farmer's market yesterday and i was looking at the label while i was opening it and it says "warning: this product is unpasteurized and may contain bacteria that may be harmful to children, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems."

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

i drank it anyway.

i have a good joke about pastuerization:
so there was this blonde who went to skin care boutique because she wanted a milk bath. "sir," she said to the sales clerk,"i would like to buy some milk for a milk bath." "Well," he responded," would you like your milk pastuerized?" the blonde responded,"No, up to my tits is fine."

what did you just say?

here are some words that i have discovered people around here don't say, have never heard, don't understand most of the time and generally laugh at me when i say them:

shiznit (as in this prof is the shiznit)
mo (as in mo tight!)
hard a (as in what you need to have a fun night)
biznack (as in why are you all up in my biznack?)
chief (as in you wake up with balls written on your forehead)
chonch (as in after a hard night of partying, mary is chonching in the toilet)

well at least they say hella down here (nor cal forever!)

kanye's workout plan...

so after a rather uneventful night of frat hopping, i woke up and decided to workout. as if working out isn't bad enough as it is, some girl had her stereo down there and was blasting her music. the madonna was tolerable espcially since i had my ipod, but when she put on nsync and turned it up, i just got annoyed. seriously, don't subject people to your shitty choice in music cuz i'm not subjecting you to my much better taste in music even though it would probably do you good.

tanning = scary

so my roommate works at a tanning salon that just opened on telegraph, about two blocks down and one block over from our dorms. we like to pick laura up from work cuz she usually works until it's dark and she was already almost mugged while walking through campus on the middle of a sunday afternoon. (the best thing about this whole incidence is that Laura called me after it happened and was absolutely cracking up over the whole situation. talk about having a sense of humor about life). anywho, so david and i went to pick laura up from work and while she was closing we wandered around the salon. Now, I've never seen a tanning upclose before, and frankly, they look like coffins. david would agree to this. there was a super tanning bed at the end that kind of reminded me of that coffin thing that michael jackson sleeps in. we decided that the place is a tanning salon by day and a vampire's layer by night. would that be a most awesome teen comedy/horror flick? i should write that one up and send it to quentin tarantino or francis ford coppola.

mr polzin, the phone

so alex definitely needs to call me way more often because his ringtone is the pixies "where is my mind" and it's perhaps my most favorite ringtone of all time.

alex also needs to transfer to berkeley, b/c architecture students here definitely aren't as cool. take fore example, paul who lives across the hall, who cheats on his girlfriend, tries to lure me into his bed with alcohol and is definitely watching porn with another guy in his room.

can you saw eewwww?

just as good if not better

i wore a denim miniskirt and lime green knee high socks and white mary-janes to school today. it is seriously amazing the kind of attention you will get with lime green knee high socks. So not only did i rediscover my love of learning, i rediscoverd my love of knee high socks. they may not be lace up suede knee high boots, but i still got to traipse around in a miniskirt.

back in the saddle again

i don't think i've experienced this kind of excitement about education since i started kindergarten. and i am thrilled to discover that the ennui induced by 12 years of mandatory primary education isn't permament. i came here to learn and now that the learning has begun i can barely contain my childish giddiness. who knew learning could be this fun??

i only had two classes today, my poli sci lecture and my discussion for history 7b (US history from after the Civil War to present). I'm particuarly excited about history and I haven't even had lecture yet. My GSI was telling us about the prof, Leon Litwack. He is a Pulitzer Prize winner and has been teaching for 40 years. As you can imagine, he doesn't exactly need to be teaching a introductory history class. So basically he is doing it purely for the love of nourishing young minds, such as mine. People like Prof. Litwack make up for all the Ms. Harrises in the entire world.

~gasp~ fresh food!!!!!

we went to the farmer's market today! it was pretty nice. certainly not pike place but seeing fresh vegetabls and fruits was consolation enough. i bought a baguette, four pink lady apples, a button pastry for myself and one for laura who was unable to attend because she had training for her new job at the tanning salon on telegraph ave. on the way back i bought three gerbera daisies and put my florist shop work experience to use. claudia's throw back for sure.
