its cold. as we speak its 23 degrees outside. thats very cold. so today i am going over to stadium to pick up some nice warm gloves, then to the second hand store on secret business, and then to the train station to make our reservations for KIRUNA!! woot. today i'm putting a couple hundred dollars on my credit card. woot. so when i get back, my parents and i are going to have a swedish-esque version of christmas dinner for christmas eve. -if any of you are in austin, please join! the more the merrier.
classes are crazy. this time the quarter is only 6 weeks, and we've got essentially four books to read, 45 pages to write, and seminars. that aparently isn't so much for my classmates, but when you come from a design background...eeep! i will have offically surpassed the amount of writing i did in the past four years..now. i'm pretty sure i've already written more. but i got better grades on the undergraduate stuff. remember, its not the quantity, its the quality, right? luckily in the huge paper, i've 'only' have 5 pages to write, but i'm supposed to write on theory. first off, i think i lot of the theory we learn in bullshit. not that its wrong or invalid, but more that none of them are totally applicable in the real world. like peter said- people fuck it up. they are irrational. i agree. we need to look at case studies- see where theories were used, and then fucked the company. favorite quote from class ever: "then people come into the equation and add upfuckedness". there is not much better than a non-english speaker cursing.
thanksgiving is coming! stephen was having his on the 22nd, so we are having ours on the 29th. now stephen is having his on the 20th, and no one is having it ON thanksgiving. i think i need to do something, even if it is celebrate by myself with a cute mini-feast. our big one will be awesome. if all goes as planned there will be a play, and we will have a delectable menu. and my favorite PUMPKIN PIE!
i'm off to budapest on the 24th, and i can honestly say this is possibly the think i am most excited about. i can't wait to lay in the baths of szychenyi, eat a nice dinner that doesn't cost an extremity, go out for a night for real. buy some tasty beverages to bring back...and some whiskey for our apple cider! i am so excited. budapest is definitely one of my favorite cities in the world. so we get back just in tme for our thanksgiving, and then..birthday time! the big 23. the other day i forgot how old i was turning, and was convinced that i was going to be 22. but i knew i was over 21. numbers are confusing. i shouldn't work in restaurants anymore, or else i will be serving 16 year olds liquor.
ok. now its time to read, i have procrastinated long enough.
