i don't know how ester has time to play three games of playsite scrabble in a day. or to spend hours revising her screenplay. i haven't even been able to read more than three chapters since the start of school. yes i do, i have free time too, plenty, i just don't know where it goes. some of it is now.

i've been getting up early, like i might have said. i woke up before the 8:00 bell this morning, even though my alarm wasn't set to go off until 9:00 (then it did when I was in the shower.) i cut myself on my dresser. isn't that annoyingly hilarious? the plastic covering the lower lip of the top of the dresser slipped underneath my fingernail. ow.

but yesterday i didn't wake up in time. my alarm didn't sound, so i missed my 8:30 class (bound to happen anyway, but bad when you didn't mean it.) that was okay, because i was went straight to mccabe, starting at about 9:30, and I worked on my paper there, in a "conversation room" on the third floor with an ethernet jack, where i was mostly able to concentrate in the uncomfortable chair, and listen to a bit of celebratory beckstream when i finished c. 6:30. my only breaks were a brief lunch with Liane Rice (who said she found this site by searching her name, which I can't remember ever using before), and swapping books around with other members of my class (so - no bach class either.) i think i've finally figured out how honors reserve works.

the paper was half a page too long, with footnotes on pynchon and this, and not cohesive enough, and probably not always coherent enough, and no title, but i think i brought in a lot of good ideas, including several of my own, and as it happens i brought in almost all of the readings without really trying, so that's probably a good sign. or a bad one. i'm looking forward to discussion today - this really is a fascinating subject.

i dashed around trying to find my rock band after that, and we kicked out a fairly productive rehearsal: two blur covers, some fine renderings of old favorites and new classics, plus the first good stab at my song about jess and dave, which rocked out happily. matt/we have some crazy plans for ifrb in the future. stay tuned. nyc denizens, are you ready to rokk?

i haven't written in a while 'cause of i promised myself i wouldn't until i finished my paper, and then i didn't feel like it last night. so i need to write about sunday and monday, yeah? oh, yeah. good things to write about, there. now, i'm going to breakfast, and hopefully my lovely will be there. i haven't done my french homework (again.) pass/fail, right.

i've got no sense of direction
i guess i've got no sense at all
