I could never get the hang of Thursdays…

So, today was pretty random.
Chapel, French, regular blah. Came back to the room– almost feel asleep, but kept myself from ozing off like usual and was actually several minutes early to Bible instead of thirty seconds late like usual on Thursdays. However, much to my personal chagrin, Manor stood up at the posium after the bell rang, greeted everyone, and dismissed class.
Oh, well, that’s okay. See, I guess the lame excuse for a student council down here is having a fundraiser to get some fat cash for water supply to a couple schools in Kenya and the Sudan, so, they decided to feed off Texan Pride and have segregated the donations into those from Texas and those from everywhere else on the planet. They’ve even made up T-shirts to this effect, one of which I comprated (what’s with me and these faux-Latin reflexes of Spanish verbs, anyhow?), since it matched what I was wearing, and, uh, the whole “I’m from Texas, hoooo!” running joke from high school.
Yeah. Um, hung out with Dusty in the afternoon and evening– ye Megs joined in the fun at dinner. Dusty had prison slop that apparently tasted something like chicken and dumplings, I was creative with my selections and had tater tots and some sort of country-fried-steak-eqsue patty which I smothered in a marinara-like sauce. It was halfway decent. I can’t remember what she had, so I doubt it was anything spectacular, epsecially since, you know, it was the Caf.
We played the Movie Title Game for about an hour in the Armstrong-Keller-Grad Quad after that. That’s always fun, I think. I decided to spend some time out in the open air — it was quite good weather today, oddly enough — and relative peace and quiet of the quad; Megs and Dusty decided to visit one of the parks in town, where they were accosted by the locals. Oh wells.
After that, I took Dusty through the Lamb Standard Research Paper Method at the Library, and after we had gathered enough materials for a good-looking bibliography, we had fun with microfilm until the place closed. I love microfilm, man. As long as you keep that stuff under relatively normal conditions, it’ll keep forever, since it’s all safety film. And it’s so compact, too– but unlike more ‘modern’ compact storage, all microfilm needs is a light source and a magnifying class to be interpreted. Clay tablets are about the only instrument of record humans have ever come up with that’s more resillient, in my opinion.
Came back to the dorm and watched some of my Chappelle’s Show Season 1 DVDs; Tyson wanted to borrow them since he’s going on some trip tomorrow, so I took his football helmet as collateral. I wonder if it fits my head. XD
That’s about it.
