Flight and fall
Well, I thought I had done really well on two of my midterms...I got the first back, 91, yay! Got the second back, 78...crappy...now I just have to get back my other one...but the teacher takes forever. Plus I only have my other midterm in november! Greek is so late! I love it! And communications doesn't have a midterm thankfully. I did my presentation for it today, that was ok...I hope! So yes, flight and fall....marks and stress and everything else possible!
Halloween is going to rock this year! I'm going as Hawkeye from M*A*S*H and others are Radar and Trapper, should be amusing! I get to drink all night because my character drinks all the time! Yay! Alcohol after a horribly stressful two weeks! "Alcoholics Unanimous"!!
A thief who steals a purse is hanged, a prince who steals a nation becomes a king.
I think this is the quote...but I am too tired to check for sure

Bows and arrows and floods!
Hello all!
Well, I've had a very interesting week so far and it is only Wednesday!
It started raining on Friday night and continued Saturday and Sunday...the bridge had to be closed because of the rising watter levels. Well...the river overflowed its banks and we had lakes on campus, the football field uprights were almost ogne! We could see the crossbar and above, it was really cool! Then classes were cancelled on Monday so my roommates and I, we all were up super early, so we went to the football lake and started skipping stones across! It was so fun! And then did homework and watched M*A*S*H and just had a day off when it wasn't even raining! The water level went down then and it is fine now, so school it back on, but flooding can close our school, how cool is that?!
Then yesterday, I had archery with Juju, it was fantastic!! We get to keep 3 arrows, a quiver, and finger and arm guards! We take them home! The arrows are hanging in our living room at the moment by the way...!! It is too bad we can't take the bows home...Then it would be cool, we could walk around school with bows and arrows...Mwahahaha! (Kinda like in the preview for "The Weatherman" Nicholas Cage is a weatherman and ppl threw stuff at him until he started walking around with a crossbow and bolts! I really should see that movie...)
Now I must go and study for a hard midterm, Chinese History, and finish an essay, both are for tomorrow!! Have a great week!
Don't drink and drive.
You might hit a bump and spill you drink!

Nice poems I found
Three Poems by W. S. Merwin
To Waiting
You spend so much of your time
expecting to become
someone else
always someone
who will be different
someone to whom a moment
whatever moment it may be
at last has come
and who has been
met and transformed
into no longer being you
and so has forgotten you
meanwhile in your life
you hardly notice
the world around you
lights changing
sirens dying along the buildings
your eyes intent
on a sight you do not see yet
not yet there
as long as you
are only yourself
with whom as you
recall you were
never happy
to be left alone for long
To Impatience
Don't wish your life away
my mother said and I saw
past her words that same day
suddenly not there
nor the days after
even the ones I remember
and though hands held back the hounds
on the way to the hunt
now the fleet deer are gone
that bounded before them
all too soon overtaken
as she knew they would be
and well as she warned me
always calling me home
to the moment around me
that was taking its good time
and willingly though I
heeded her words to me
once again waking me
to the breath that was there
you too kept whispering
up close to my ear
the secrets of hunger
for some prize not yet there
sight of face touch of skin
light in another valley
labor triumphant or
last word of a story
without which you insisted
the world would not be complete
soon soon you repeated
it cannot be too soon
yet you know it can
and you know it would be
the end of you too only
if it ever arrives
you find something else missing
and I know I must thank you
for your faithful discontent
and what it has led me to
yes yes you have guided me
but what is hard now to see
is the mortal hurry
To Grief
O other country
which we never left
rich in anniversaries
each in turn wearing your crown
how many of them are there
like stars returning every one alone
from where they have been all the time
each one the only one
and to whom do you belong
incomparable one
recurring never to be touched again
whether by hand or understanding
familiar presence suddenly approaching
already turned away
reminder hidden
in the names
back of the same sky
that lights the days as we watch them
what do you want it for
this endless longing that is only ours
orbiting even in our syllables
why do you keep calling us as you do
from the beginning without a sound
like a shadow

Thanksgiving soon!!
Yay!
Thanksgiving is coming up soon and I can't wait to go home! 3 days baby! And I get to see the Mad Artist for a bit, and I get to see Safron Baub too, well maye, if we can plan something! I can't wait! The down side is that sis is leaving for a rugby trip to the Maritimes so I don't get to see her for very long, like a couple of hours Friday morning and Tuesday morning. Grrr. Oh well, I will see her at Christmas!
I am still sick, I can't believe it...it has been 5 days and I have had every symptom known for colds and flus and maybe some stuff in between, and now the cough and stuffed head won't go away! What is this? Make my life difficult time? I had to skip class even...I told my teachers why, but still, that is so unlike me!
I am trying to do work today so I can get on top of everything again, and man my brain is on static it refuses to work! I am so restless and bored! But I have nothing to do because I only have homework in front of me! No good books that I want to read or anything...so annoying. I suppose I will buckle down in a bit, but oh man, I don't want to do anything!
Smells like window washer fluid/antifreeze all of a sudden...hmmm...should probably close my window...meh!
Went out to the bar Saturday night and had fun with pool and foozball and all the silly jokes you can make with rods (foozball) and balls (pool table had 2 balls stolen). Hehe, girls night out gets fun! Although, going out wasn't too smart for my cold, but it was worth it! We got all dressed up and we looked hot! Thanks Mimi!!! *kiss kiss*
I think that is all...no news since I am sick...stupid cold...have a great week and whoever gets a Thanksgiving break, it's coming soon!!! Woohoo!!
If you consider this food for thought, your brain will probably go hungry today.
