Ithacan Web Log - December '02

Tonight I spent the evening reminicing with old high school friends at Lynn's house, it was her b-day yesterday, conrats. Who knew a night of twister, home made chicken wings, and protecting youself from ball-taps would be so enjoyable. Its good to see the ones you hoped would truck on, truck on, and the ones you know would stay in Akron all their lives, all cozy in the ol' hometown.

I think the college life has spoiled me... look at the time, and guess the feelings I am experiencing now... Go on, guess... I AM BORED, lol. Its just weird to feel lonely for the IC chicks and lonely for my IC bros. Who knew 4 months of total emersion would make you crave something you never were privvy to before? Whatever- tonight was a good startoff, I think, for the rekindling of fires that have been burning since kindergarten. See you all later, I have to go to bed- heh heh, I always say that but I always lie~

I am home finally. After a time and a half in NYC, I am home with the family, flipping through the tv channels. Thats what jews do in X-Mas. Exciting things i have done so far this vacation: Bought some great clothes from H&M, Swam for my School in an alumni meet(we kicked ass, duh), Saw LOTR)which i will see again, and got another hard drive for my supercomputer, now i have 100 more gigs to play with!

Tonight we go to my Gentile aunt's house for a traditional Christmas dinner. I never mind the questions about my hair colour choice or earring situation :) Tomorrow with Christmas behind us all, i think true vacation time begins as the year 2002, mine and so many's year of so much anticipation and change, will be over and the promise of a new beginning and path will begin.

Be well~joshua

Yes, if you cannot tell, this week is finals week. The lack of updates has been due to the nine hour monday studying and going to my two exams til 10 PM!! But with film and photo behind me, I awoke at 6.30 this morning to take my Psych and then my Short Story exam. So now I stand with one fifth of my exams to take, and it is not until 4.30 tomorrow evening. Therefore, tonight is party hard night for the last time of the semester night. Three of Mike's gradeschool friends are over, and the place is a'bumpin.

Thursday i leave for NYC for the DMB concert, i will update before then. Here, check out the COOL t-shirt that Jill got me for Hannu-Mas (Christmas + Hanukkah = Hannu-Mas)

On the way back from the gym this morning, I considered packing for vacation. I know there is over a week until I leave, but being in temp housing, we are forced to relocate. THEREFORE- all of my wall adornments, desk things, clothes, etc have to be packed to move as if its the first day all over again. I only am worrying about this because i have a lot of SHIT. and i don't want to have to pack during exam week. We'll put up comparison pictures in my "Farewell Lounge" section coming soon.

This weekend marking the last weekend we have in the lounge, we are celebrating with a swaree΄ that will hopefully bust our fabled occupancy limit of 46. But anyway, its shower and shave time. I am gonna look nice today. you never know what someone's first impression can do for your future.

I went to the gym this morning. I rowed for 15 minutes. Then I worked at finding the sixpack I sported during last year's swim season. Boring day so far. It's so bitter outside, the weather is just starting to get to me. 5 days of classes, two days of weekend, and four days of exams until vacation.

After my noon-o-clock class, i have to write a paper that I have put off for so long. The days are so short, but the nights are so long. Enjoy pics of me trying to sleep last night with people still in my room.

Monday was weird, its almost like i forgot how to go to school. We ate at late night as usual, stole trays and went SLEDDING!!! I cut my right leg all up trying to be a sk8er boi, though. I am fine- time heals all wounds(hmm) Wednesday morn I took headshots for my RA, and got great results, then got Hanukkah presents from the girls down the hall! haha, hot sauce, duct tape, a duct tape book, mints, runts. It is great to know have good friends here. Thurs brought printing the headshots(see below) and a snowstorm keeps me from having a boring short story class.

Today i took my 2nd to last test in psych. I think i did well, It was open book craziness. Then i slept for a loooong time and we went on the town. We hit up an establishment that specializes in the ornamentation of ones self, ahem, and then we went to the local pornographic store and bought X-mas presents for all, no stickers that say "Ithaca has Orgies" though, and then we are back at the lounge. Now we are parting gentleman style in the lounge, 126. Tomorrow i am filming another segment for the tv show i am on. Please enjoy this update. it took me like 2 hours to finish, i have ADD i swear...

Dorm, sweet dorm! It was an exciting drive to say the least... leaving Akron's grasp we hit a whiteout that lasts until Rochester. After using the limo to the left and the semi to the right as guidance, we transverse the thru way, and get to the backroads. About three hours later, we arrive.

I put my coat and clothes down, and Dave and I go with Jen to the bus station to find JIll. The clan is back together. Things are back in swing, Sub Connection subs, and a night of ROAD TRIP and 42K. I would dig college more if i didnt have class tomorrow. Welp, i have put on my yarmulke, its time to celebrate Hanukkah- with my electric menorah!! thanks mom. Oh and dad, I already cut myself with the Swiss Army Knife you got me... Two Band-Aids!!!

*Peace out*
