it's a little strange to be writing here again after everthing that happened last night, and strange to return to the more mundane aspects of my life. just one more little note on that subject: i am amazed at how well this has turned out (i was afraid of so many things, as i know lani was too) and how un-awkward it was when we all sat down to lunch. And incredibly, i think this whole experience isn't just not tearing us apart, but is in fact bringing us closer together. what a nice little surprise. i can't wait to get to know you all better :)

i just finished with nearly three hours worth of stats homework - which, though excruciating, will feel like heaven 15 minutes into my three-hour class tonight. i feel it is my duty as a friend to caution you all against taking a math class three hours straight, and especially beware one dr. brian johnson. last week i finally nailed it down, who he reminds me of: he talks just like the 'it's pat!' character from saturday night live. he's clearly male, but the sniveling and rubbing his hands on his chest? dead-on imitation. he is the hardest person in the world to focus on. i couldn't remember how to do half of my homework because the last hour of the class i just couldn't bear to listen to him anymore. but it will all be over by 10 pm... i think i can, i think i can, et cetera.

hmm... guess i didn't have much to say after all. i'm officially going to dc now, and looking forward to that :) i gotta go get something quick to eat and then go to my stats class... and i'm not going to be in any condition to write my dhs paper when i get back. i have a feeling i'm not going to be getting to bed any earlier tonight than last night, but i was gonna have to get used to living on five hours of sleep again eventually anyway.

lobster sticks to magnet!!
