1) I can't stop listening to that "Mad World" cover from Donnie Darko. Like over and over and over again, to the point where it's on repeat on your playlist and you just can't stop listening to the words.

2)I've studied for this midterm a LOT. Unnaturally a lot for me especially. I paid attention HARDCORE in every single one of my classes and took extensive notes. I highlighted and wrote vocab words and filled out local government information while working the late night desk. I went outside and studied over the weekend. I made flashcards. I went to the hour-long study session tonight in Violette Hall. And yet I STILL don't know half the crap I need to for this stupid thing. I don't know whether to stop studying, give up, and get some sleep or continue to fight my brain into remembering what article and section the necessary and proper clause can be found in? Gaaah, I hate this. I'll never learn all these details and I'll never learn all the articles and clauses. I feel like a stupid American not being able to understand my government, and even MORE like a stupid American for just not caring anymore. It's a fascinating class, I love the lectures, I love learning about amendments and court cases and the hidden hillarities in the constitution, but test me on it and all the love is gone. I HATE this crap. Stupid articles.

3) I've made a little fort for myself under my bed now that I've rearranged my desk/furniture. And I can hang my pretty flowered throw from under my bed so that it hangs down and makes a REAL fort-like thing for privacy when my roomies are watching gross television shows. It's stupid, but it kinda harks back to the good old days of childhood when I used to make elaborate couch-forts with pillows with my sister.

4) On a completely random note: when I was a kid, I used to get Marshmallow man and the tire man mixed up.





...and now to attempt studying for a half-hour before I give up and go to bed. whoot.
