the coffeehouse

So, right now I'm sitting in a coffee shop. I love wifi! I love coffee! I love uptown Normal!

Today, I woke up about fifteen minutes before my first (and only) class of the day. I rolled out of bed (although not literally, I would probably have broken a few bones), put on some clothes and left. I had a sight singing quiz today. It went well.

After that class, I just went back to my dorm and slept. I slept until noon, at which point I met up with my roomie, Megan, and Carrie for lunch. After lunch we went back to the dorm.

I've been playing a lot of checkers lately. I started playing with Carrie, and I beat her the few times we played. Then I invited Brittany to play with me. She said she wasn't good at strategizing. That was a fuckin lie. She beat me three times in a row. Every time, the game always started out in my favor, but she would always end up annihilating me. It was fuckin embarrassing.

Well today, after lunch, I played a couple of games with her. I beat her both times! It was awesome. I'm thinking of starting a floor tournament.

In other news, everyone is getting sick lately. I've had the good fortune of not contracting anything yet, but I wonder how long it will hold up. My goal is to not get sick until the semester's over. I'm a little more than half way there. Hopefully it turns in my favor.

I think the trick is to carry hand sanitizer and drink shit tons of water. It's been working pretty good so far.

Also, earlier this year there was a fuckin aphid infestation on campus. Like, literally, millions of them. You couldn't walk around without swallowing at least three of them. It was horrible. Well, now they're gone.

Except they've been replaced by ladybugs. I've had bad experiences with ladybugs in the past, and it just does not help that these ladybugs bite. I think there are so many because ladybugs eat aphids. Large aphid population = large ladybug population.

As much as I'm loving this beautiful weather, a part of me can't wait until it gets rainy and cold again, just so the ladybugs go the fuck away.

I think later tonight, Megan, Brittany and I are going to go to the improv show. Or maybe we'll come back to the coffeehouse and watch the poetry slam. I have a tiny crush on the host. There's just something about those literary type guys...
