Only in College

Actually, more has happened lately than this, but I'll just tell you this for now. Today as I was eating my lunch, some guy jumped up on a table and got the attention of (presumably) everyone in the dining hall. He announced that it was Saint Crispin's day and in honor of that delivered the Saint Crispin's day speech from Henry V. Dr. Hake (English prof. who happens to be really cool - big gray beard, sleeps under trees in his suit), was sitting at my table. He seemed quite amused/pleased by the whole situation. The most entertaining part was to watch his reactions.
But now that I've said that I need to get back to work. Maybe I'll do an update on what I did on the weekend. Maybe I won't.

Cable and Kissing

I'm in the process of recovering from the past week. The network has been down on and off for the past 5 days or so and as if that weren't bad enough, the cable went out too. So watch a movie, you say. I wish. The only way I can watch a movie is if I do it on a computer which means finding a classroom or some ground somewhere to sit. We can't watch movies in the lounges because schools have been being prosecuted for public showings of movies. I find it annoying. They are working on buying a license so we can start watching movies again, but in the mean time its pretty boring. So yeah, the cable going out is really annoying. It got fixed yesterday so a decent chunk of the evening was spent watching it. We watched Hey Arnold, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Smallville. Quite a refreshing experience.
Today in Bio Lab we took cells from our mouths and then did this thing to explode them so the DNA could come out so we could analyze it somehow. I asked Dr. Gruenke if we really carry in our mouths the DNA of every person we kiss for the rest of our lives. She said we do not. One girl expressed relief as she handed over her sample.
Now its time for lunch.

The Weekend and Then Some

Certain friends have complained that I have completely lost touch with the world. This is true. So the deal I made was that I will blog little updates every day or so. I have no intention to catch the world up on what has happened in the past 2 1/2 months, I'm just going to start with the past few days and keep updated from there.
This weekend was insane. I have been running a fever every evening since sometime last week. Yesterday I had a Biology exam that I needed to do very well on if I was going to save my butt in that class, I had a prospectus due in Research and Writing, I had a quiz in US History, and I had an extra class added to my Monday schedule - ConLaw. Today was a Logic exam that counts for 30% of our grade. That made the weekend stressful and non-fun. Zac and I did get out a couple times on Saturday. First we walked to a couple yard sales after lunch. Then that evening we went contra dancing in Purcellville, but we didn't stay even close to the whole time. We do force ourselves to have fun off campus. I think its the only way to stay sane.
I worked out my life so that I was able to get almost 8 hours of sleep Sunday night. It just might have saved my life. And then yesterday morning in chapel we had a small group prayer time. My request was that I would rely on God for the strength to get through the day. After that it was amazing. The day went by without stressing me out. I didn't even start falling asleep in my classes. And to top it off I was able to have energy at the end of the day to stay motivated and study Logic.
The plan for tonight is to chill out. We might watch a movie.
The end.
