the future cap and gown affair
Aug. 9th, 2006 11:51 pmI think time is imploding, because I can't believe that I'm moving in five days to LA. And like a limited edition candy bar (think white Chocolate M&M's, which aren't exactly a candy bar but you hopefully get my point), suddenly a fair number of people want to get a piece of me.
OK, I suck at metaphors and totally misconstrued what I meant to say there. I don't remember hanging out with so many people in this relatively short period of time since, well, last summer when my Harvard friends pretty much lived in the same building. It's really awkward being the first one of all of my friends to leave, and I'm sorry that I'm not able to spend as much time with everyone as I'd like just because there are still a fair number of last minute tasks I have to get done before departing. What I really need to do at this stage is pack up clothing, books and other small scale personal items. I'd really appreciate any tips on what to bring or not bring and how to get it to campus.
Top Six Reasons Why My Roommate, Catherine, Will Be Annoyed By Me/Most Likely Be Avoiding Our Room
1. I tend to leave random piles of stuff on my desk in precarious positions. Actually, I tend to unconsciously scatter books and papers all over a room in such a way that I can eventually find what I need.
2. I have a horrible tendency to hit the snooze button for literally two and a half hours straight. My dad, from whom I seem to have inherited this habit, was ousted by his roommates the spring semester of his freshmen year and was lucky enough to snag a single room for the rest of his time in college.
3. Thea claims that my taste in music belongs in the confines of elevators or plays when one's been put on hold. There has to be someone out there who thinks that Film Score Monthly's release of the six set Man from UNCLE soundtrack is a gift sent from heaven.
4. I assume I snore because everyone else in my family does.
5. I have other bad habits, but I don't want to scare away all of my friends from visiting :P
As of today I have become hooked on YouTube, which is actually a bad thing as I have roughly five sentences completed of a paper (an intellectual autobiography; how do I even go about this?!) I need to write before my classes start. But as I fend off my academic responsibilities I must also defend myself from rumored allegations that I have rather elitist tastes in cultural matters. Let's just say that the following will show anything but.
( Warning: I have a twisted sense of humor...occasionally )
