What Makes College Awesome

tabular_rasaThis is what I'm going to miss about college. Yesterday went something like this:
2:00 am: Finally took off my 1920s pink murder mystery dress, mini-boa, pearls, and heels; took a shower; and went to bed after cleaning up from the murder mystery party and watching To Kill A Mockingbird on DVD with Lisa.
10:00 am: Woke up. Still felt tired, so went back to sleep.
11:00 am: Woke up. Lisa asked if I wanted pancakes, so we made some. We didn't have eggs, so we couldn't make her wheat pancakes and had Jiffy mix pancakes instead.
11:30 am: Worked on thesis introduction and conclusion. At one point I made popcorn and worked while I ate it.
3:00 pm: Took a longer break, chatting with Lisa over cacik.
3:45 pm: Another bout of thesis work.
5:00 pm: Packed a huge Victoria's Secret tote with a black witch dress, black leggings, a silly colorful fuzzy hat, Gryffindor gloves, a tiara, makeup, pink gingham heels
Put on aforementioned 1920s pink dress but with matching pink scarf wrapped around so as to create a sort of toga-like princess dress as well whorish amounts of mascara, blush, and fuschia lipstick-- and ugg boots and thick socks.
6:15 pm: Walked to an old dorm on the 40, went to a suite on the highest floor, and, while the residents prettied themselves up for a formal, helped another girl in a black and pink goth-y dress smudge her eyeliner and draw a tear running out of her eye. Exchanged ugg boots and socks for pink heels, and donned tiara.
6:30 pm: Stood on a balcony as Princess Narcissa, Tragedy-Blind, and, along with my cousin Princess Depressa, Beauty-Blind, quizzed one of five adventurers on poetry terms as a Where's Waldo? look-alike, a Netherworld photographer with black lightning bolts on her cheeks, a wizard, and a man in a 70s getup with green hair and a sweatband reading "Balls" stood by. Was in exchange read a tragic poem.
6:40 pm: Ran inside *in tears* and quickly smudged my mascara and eyeliner with the help of some eyedrops.
6:45 pm: Accompanied Princess Depressa down to the lobby of the dorm. Was read a poem written by the poet adventurer himself. In exchange we gave him a secret envelope.
7:00 pm: Exchanged heels for uggs and went back to my dorm, where I had chicken noodle soup for diner and wrote a little more on the thesis.
8:00 pm: Donned black leggings, uggs (with trash bags inside to ensure waterproofing), Gryffindor gloves, and silly hat. Carried earlier costume in aforementioned Victoria's Secret tote.
8:50 pm: Went to LabSci 300, drew black lightning bolts on my cheeks, and became a Netherworld Agent. Talked to Netherworld Agents S and J, and two anonymous Netherworld agents formerly composing 5/7ths head of a German-speaking hydra.
9:15 pm: Witnessed an freestyling-virgin adventurer throw down and kick ass at a freestyle battle against Sir Rappington of Rappingshire aka Boombox McDogBlocks aka Natty Liiight and two rather gifted breakdancers which the adventurer accused in a burn as "doing ballet."
9:30 pm: Went to the quad, dropped my bag and coat off at the stage, donned a warm and waterproof garbage bag, and rehearsed a bad-ass modelwalk-like procession out into a large circle at the center with 60 other black-clad Netherworld agents. Practiced dying dramatically.
10:30 pm: Waited with baited breath, huddled against an Engineering Netherworld Agent (as indicated by her hat) as hundreds of prefrosh walked across the quad and wishing this could all go down while they watched.
10:33 pm: Received the cue to begin procession out. Could hear the adventurers flipping out as they saw black-clad agents approaching them from every corner of the quad. Began a two-minute finger-laser battle which culminated in the dramatic deaths of all Netherworld Agents. Lay on the grass twitching with seizures from the cold as the freezing rain pooled in my eyes, and listened as the King of Washingtonville Universityshire was lasered down by one last Netherworld Agent, and, in his dying breaths, gave the adventurers an envelope containing the Meaning of Life.
10:50 pm: Got up and, along with about 60 other people, cheered and hugged the green-haired guy with the Balls sweatband for having orchestrated this entire ridiculous affair.
11:00 pm: Bid goodbye to the Engineering Netherworld Agent and walked with former Netherworld Agent/Head of Hydra to a place on Wash Ave. Were the first ones there. In spite of being extremely wet, donned princess costume again.
11:30 pm: Partied with tons of other wet, happy people in costume, got uproariously drunk, and had an absolutely spectacular time.
Ahh, yeah, it was a great weekend. More details on all of this later. You know, after I finish the thesis. (And maybe after my throat stops hurting /-:).
