Perhaps my theory that the construction of Victory Mansions is introducing sleep drugs into the atmosphere is correct. For the first few weeks, while they were still trying to finsh the little things like plumbing, I was always very tired. So was Heather, and we bith took long naps every day. After the heavy construction passed (read; parents and benefactors went home), I still napped but it wasn't the sleep of the tired, it was just catching some shut-eye before class. Thenrecently, the school decided that the buliding would have to be finshed by January, to aviod riots by the food service workers. So construction has once again kicked in. The elevators have been painted, and signs are up saying "PLease excuse our dust.". Incidently, the first sign went up just in time for the first open house weekend for propective students. It's never fun to have to dodge a marching band on Sunday morning just to get to breakfast, but that's a whole other story. Back to my point, I've ben getting tired again the last few days. Last night I slept soundly and for the recommended amount of time, yet despite my constant ingestion of caffine, I was falling asleep in class, and ended up taking a nice 4 hour long nap because I was so tired. My roommate isn't here to test my theory out on. She went home with the creepy alcoholic for Thanksgiving, but we'll see about it when and if she returns.
I packed this evening, I'm very proud of myself and haved vowed not to stress about flying. It's not that I'm afraid of terroism or plane crashes or anything like that, it's just that I hate airports. I find them to be confusing at best, and panic attack inducing at worst. Worst airport in the U.S od A is St. Louis, it's dim, crowded, and smells like rotting hot dogs. National used to be a sucky airpot, but it's been all prettyed up, also incidently the Republican's didn't want to stick Regan's name onto when people still peed in the corners. I refuse to call it Regan airport, for that reason and the fact that I can't figure out naming an airport of all things after the man who had all the air tracficc controllers fired and blacklisted. I've heard that you can't get up on flights going into National. We talked about this in Government class tonight, and my professer said that he would testify aganist me if I got arrested because of standing up. The thing is, I think that if that happened, he really would.
So I only have a few more things to do for my trip, mostly going to the ATM and getting cab fare. It should be interesting to see how the air marshals for D.C. flights act. Hopefully, they'll at least look competent, cause I'm telling you the National Gaurd people in Tampa sure don't. So then, no updates until at least Sunday, but likely Monday. Yeah, I know, like anyone cares. Happy Thanksgiving, don't kill a turkey, kill some legumes or something. |
