Well the year is finally at its end. I don't remember a year where things were just as incredibly erratic as they've been. Honestly I've felt maybe every conceivable emotion this year particularly more amounts of rage than ever. Of course it wasn't all that, I also feel that people appreciate my association with them more than ever, this was definitely felt most all summer while working at the Door. Equally, I've never appreciated the people in my life more than ever, especially my family and friends at home since I spent such a long time away from them this semester. School couldn't have been any better especially now that only a semester is in my way from the nirvana of higher education: University Park. 2008 is gonna be great, with all kinds of SIH!!s and "shake that bear"s ahead.

Holy shit! What am I still doing up!?

So last night we spent a good part of the night hanging out with the our brothers Shippensburg. It was a wonderful time hearing stories about various mishaps including broken ankles, extremely hairy asses and a very numb penis. It's always good to hear stories that happen at other colleges because somehow they always seem relevant to your experience where ever you are.

-Mikhail

Interesting day today...I overslept and woke up 25 minutes late for my EARTH final, which was no biggie since I finished with time to spare anyway. On the way to class I noticed the ice storm did some work on campus, giving all the trees and glass a nice cool protective coating. After that I spent most of the day in front of the TV watching this George Mitchell report unfold. It was interesting in that for the most part everyone found out at the same time about the names that were in it. On my way to ECON I was told class was cancelled so I headed to the library where I finally downloaded the report. I skimmed through it myself for a couple of hours, reading the accounts about players that I'm familiar with. Jason Giambi's was interesting in that he was one of the few that was an isolated incident at the beginning of his time on steroids until he of course met Greg Anderson putting him in the BALCO picture. I think that may be the only reason why he can talk about it because there were no other parties involved and whenever he did them it was at home instead of being connected to Radomski, McNamee, Jason Grimsley or Canseco. There was one part that almost seems comical and I'll provide that excerpt from the report:

"During the 1998 season (around the time of the injections), Clemens showed McNamee a white bottle of Anadrol-50.[386] Clemens told McNamee he was not using it but wanted to know more about it. McNamee told Clemens not to use it. McNamee said he took the bottle and gave it to Canseco.[387]

[387] McNamee stated that he showed the bottle to Canseco because he thought that Canseco was knowledgeable and he felt comfortable approaching him. According to McNamee, Canseco volunteered to take the bottle."

Well I don't where the next step will go, but Michael Wilbon couldn't have said it any better in that it is an embarrassing day for baseball.

-Mikhail

I don't know what kinda posting schedule I'm on but here goes my story. This weekend has been a great representation of this entire semester. Good times with great people, something incredibly ridiculous that we all knew may have happened and did, and of course me not having my camera on me to capture such a wonderful moment (really should have grabbed it when I went back to get my ping-pong balls). Anyway, I'm really glad that I was able to share that time with the people I did. One thing is for sure, I gave out as many hugs last night as I have all semester combined.

-Mikhail

The semester is finally winding down. I just finished my last problem set for economics, have a few more parts to do for my portfolio on Louisville (which is actually an interesting city), memorize my scene for theater and start working on my final presentation on game shows for pop media. Other than schoolwork, life is alright. Nothing overwhelmingly special going on, but have what is looking to be a good weekend ahead. Home in 2 weeks :-)

-Mikhail

Damn I hate days like these when a mountain of work piles on to one day, especially since I'll have to stop for at least an hour to watch House. Oh, well thats college.

-Mikhail

Needless to say, I'm pretty excited about going home for next week. I'll have been away from home for almost 3 months and honestly never been more happy to be going back. The time here of course has been as interesting as ever meaning there's lots of material for a book to be published sometime. On Friday as soon as I get home, I'll be getting ready to go to my cousin's wedding which will be interesting, since I've never been to one. I'm more than ecstatic about seeing my awesome family and definitely sometime with the jerks as well.

In recent news, my weekend was pretty bland at best. Friday night I saw Dan in Real Life, which I lilked quite a bit. On Saturday I watched alot of college football since no one else was around to entertain. Much later in the night, I went my friend's place and drank, but the time there was brief and pretty awkward (perhaps this will be one of those stories for the book). Sunday was much of the same except football on the professional level and for the night time working at the Night of Giving, where I ended up buying a nice sweater. Hopefully this week goes by quickly and with some good times before Friday.

-Mikhail

MacBook is back in my hands with a bonus repaired top case. Now I gotta remember everything I had in here.

-Mikhail

Step 3 - Return

Product return pending (05-Nov-2007)

That was quick, I sent it in just on Friday. Well good to see things are about to come back to normal, maybe. Home is 11 days away, now that I've delayed my return just one day as to not miss any turkeys that may be cooked next Thursday. The call I made to Amtrak was rather amusing I'd say. The gent that helped me out with was real cool, definitely sounded like an old coot, which is what I imagined most Amtrak workers would be. You'll have to hear me explain this in person as it doesn't do him any justice in print, either that or call Amtrak yourself and have a reservation to change.

-Mikhail

It's safe to say this has been the most difficult weekend I've ever had. To start, in preperation for Saturday's events, on no evaluation of mine, we left at 4AM for State College to wait in line for College Gameday. Aside from a 2 hour nap earlier on Friday, I didn't sleep at all so I was up for about 30 hours straight noting that I've never fully gone 24 hours. I did get on television a few times (with help from my awesome banana costume), but it was just kinda boring being there even with our crazy pride + ESPN. We got lunch downtown and at the Creamery and on the walks to and fro people are saying "Hey Banana!" or singin "It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time" which was really cool. Sometime later we did some tailgaiting having nice bits of deep-fried chicken and turkey.

At about 2.5 hours before kickoff we're waiting in line and the gates open. Everyone is bumrushing to get in (which can be seen in the photo gallery here) and we all just get pushed in by the crazies behind us. Then the game itself was just...wow. As my buddy Jonny Mack put it "I've never seen the student section as pissed off as it is." and he was right. After a promising opening drive, the defense got trampled and we couldn't get anything running on offense. After our glowstick experiment failed, tons of ripped pompoms went in the air resulting in kind of a blizzard. Really cool looking, but didn't help at all.

Finally I get back at 2, meet with my theater teacher to work on my monologue which went very well. At around 4PM today, my MacBook literally died. I'm in the library now trying see what the issue is and from similar stories, it looks like I've had a hard drive failure. From the countless stories I've read in the forums, recovery is possible, but kinda hard considering my lack of an external hard drive and of course my financial circumstances. So from this point on expect little to no internet interaction from me until at least Thanksgiving or if I get the situation handled at an Apple Service Provider (which is in Mechanicsburg and not a terrible drive for whoever I go with). This is going to suck serious ass and I'll be sure to put updates here or on Facebook of things.

-Mikhail

Last night, while bored, I decided to read another essay from Greg's end-of-summer present Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas and the article happened to be about lead singer of The Smiths, Steven Morrissey...although known more by just his surname or Moz since he went solo. Well it wasn't so much about him, but rather his new fan-hood of young latino folks. I found it so funny considering my semi-recent discovery of the Smiths and my status as a young latino. Its funny because the article is about a Los Angeles area Smiths/Morrissey convention in which the majority of the attendees are latinos in their late teens to early 20s and a few more pasty looking white people that saved by The Queen is Dead. Its a great article that I wish I could find online, but trust that its an interesting read.

-Mikhail

For the weekend which was supposed to be my untold homecoming, it ended up being really well spent. Friday night we had our Kappa Sigma semi-formal which turned out really well. The after-party was rockin, finally got my Flip Cup game going and got amazingly trashed. Saturday got up early for the Undergrad Open House which went well considering the grogginess due to the night before. Gave my first tour which went alright and went home and watched Penn State beat Indiana. I fell asleep right after the game and then a few hours later went canning for THON on 2nd Street where the drunken citizens of Harrisburg entertained and filled our cans. Also talked to the jerks as they got totally wasted, which was also fun adding to my great night. Had a really good night of sleep and woke up to do more canning at 1 today at the Hershey Outlets. Less drunk people, more kids and candy, but we also had the lion for a little while which is always entertaining. Then Red Robin for dinner and thats pretty much it.

-Mikhail

Another one of those amazing Penn State Saturdays...although outside of football we maybe wanted to stab our eardrums. Anywho, this college football season is ridiculous. Can't wait for the game against Ohio State which will be critical in deciding the national championship. Red Sox just got beat down in the 11th inning and the Rockies just keep on rollin. Raiders vs Chargers tomorrow should be a great game. I'll be home in almost a month wooooooooo.

-Mikhail

Never before have I had so much work I didn't want to do.

-Mikhail

This is going to be a very interesting off-season, that's all that needs to be said.

-Mikhail

With Penn State football having a slow start on the road and against the Big Ten, its been two great weekends for my other active teams. The Yankees of course completing the season long trek and making their way into their 13th straight playoff appearance with a wild card berth (further making our chances better considering the last 5 World Series winners were Wild Card winners). Then of course the Raiders displaying a much livelier offense already scoring more TDs than all of last year as well they've ended two 12-game losing streaks (last week an overall 12 game streak and this week a 12 game road streak).

With the rest of post-season baseball to figure out, I for one am rooting for a Colorado-San Diego 163 game season hopefully with Colorado making their way in just for kicks. At least half of New York may have done terrible things to themselves (the three I know may have already) in wake of the colossal Mets collapse. hope the Cubbies make the season worth while. Arizona sucks dick. I'm not too sure who to root for in the Red Sox/Angels series.

In other news things are going just fine here. The bulk of my extracurricular work has finally subsided, still haven't gotten my internet back even though I've completed my end of the deal. I've got like 187262108762319621 tests and assignments this week so I'll be busy.

Happy October hours away.

-Mikhail

It's good thing to have an outlet to let your mind speak. Two straight days of talking to this gorgeous chick (that I'm not the least bit interested in) bullshitting about how there are just people that you want to have nothing to do with (definitely not a great thing to talk about) as we watch for guys with nice calves (well she is, I just give approval).

In other pleasant news, I finally got my loan approved!

-Mikhail

Its weeks like this where I kinda wish there were someone recording every bit of my life so that my friends and family could see what it is I've been up to. So here it goes: This week (with an ass-load of help) I conducted interviews for Lion Ambassadors, which some were really good and others just horrific. As Vice President thats the majority of my job, so at least the bulk load of my duties is out. Finally had my hearing regarding my pirating and got off pretty light, probation for the rest of the semester, an online lesson thing about being a good "cyber citizen" and a four page paper on why copyright infringement is wrong. Bid dinner for Kappa Sigma making the obvious decision to not let in the pale anti-social motherfucker (being that we ARE a social fraternity). Finally the beginning of Kegs on 2nd softball off to an 0-2 start being outscored 30-5 (at least in two games unlike the Baltimore Orioles).

It goes without saying, life is good.

-Mikhail

Recipe For An Incredible Penn State Weekend:

• 59-0 raping of Florida International
• Division 1-AA team Appalachian State beating Michigan
• trip to the bookstore...just because
• HAMBURGERS
• beer + Amaretto = Dr. Pepper
• drunken volleyball
• meeting random motherfuckers and adding them on Facebook
• do it all again next week

-Mikhail

"Rest My Chemistry" sounds better when you're really drunk (or close to it...I can't really tell right now lol).

PSU feeling so good.

-Mikhail

PS: FIU = pwnt on Saturday.

Here's a pop culture moment for you. I'm going to go buy Mentos and think of how many times the Freshmaker has been found in television and film. I think it has more so than any other product except probably Coca-Cola. I wish I had evidence of this, but I'm too lazy to look for it now.

-Mikhail

So as another summer draws to a close it typically means around this time its my last day of work. Not different from any other year it was emotionally charged, but for some reason it wasn't so much the usual "I'm sad because its all over" but rather an overall sense of appreciation. As usual people having the great appreciation for my awesome boss Greg, but there was alot shown towards the rest of the staff and I receIved a nice share of it quite a few times over day. Its a really pleasant feeling I have to say. It isn't too often people really take the day out to just say thanks for everything people have done for you. At the end of the day its good to see people appreciate those that work hard all day and everyday and without a doubt anyone thats proud to call themselves staff of the Door sure fall fall into that category. Greg gave me a nice little gift that was well timed considering I have just finished Naked Pictures of Famous People and its another collection of political and pop-culture inspired essays (4 times the size of Jon Stewart's) that'll give me something to read on the way to school next week. The other thing about the end of the summer is always the question of whether or not I'll be back. The decision won't be made for quite a while, but it's always good to know I have job security.

-Mikhail

wooooooo Penn State football tickets ftw!


WE ARE...PENN STATE!!
SIH!!

So, as I promised myself after last paycheck, I finally went to Borders and found a few things of interest. First, I bought that book Against the Stream in which the author talks about his life and how Buddhism ended up changing him. Second, looking around I noticed the very familiar cover of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures which I only recognized one song, so I decided to buy it. Third, browsing the humor section, I saw the Alphabet of Manliness (for those that are fans of Maddox), I'm sure its funny as hell, but I opted for Jon Stewart's Naked Pictures of Famous People which looks promising.

-Mikhail

Guys this week has been one of the very best I've had in a while. It started with Saturday going to Commerce Bank and getting some coins changed and getting $52 woooooooo. Then afterwards I went to the Letterman box office and applied for tickets and at the same time having someone from Penn State working there. Sunday my phone rings waking me up and its the Late Show calling to ask if I want to go on Monday so of course I say sure! so after getting out early from work me and Isaac go down hit up the Kwik-E-Mart then go to the taping which was frickin awesome. work has been alright this week, nothing too stressful. Tuesday, Interpol released Our Love To Admire, which I can finally listen to without feeling guilty at all. Wednesday tickets went on sale and unfortunately didn't have money for them :-/, also I started chatting with this awesome chick thats going to Penn State in the fall and we''ve hit it off pretty well so far :-). Thursday I meditated a little towards the last few minutes of work. Friday after a crazy day at the Door hungout with the jerks for David's birthday and just had a great time overall. And Saturday looks to be more of the same starting early in the morning with me buying an XBOX 360 wooooooo.

so one year ago today I came home and found that my brand new MacBook waiting for me. needless to say the last year has been pretty stress free in front of it.

-Mikhail

Follow-up to Monday's post: The sacrifice of getting Interpol tickets for Tuesday paid off today as I was one of the lucky 21,000 that purchased season football tickets for the Nittany Lions. In honor and by suggestion by fellow season ticket holder Joe, I played 375 for the evening numbers to ride out that luck. My order was completed at 9:11AM and 48 minutes later the last tickets were sold. It's gonna be a good year, Notre Dame and Ohio State at home, the latter being the White-Out game in prime-time.

Since Monday the week's been decent, Tuesday hung out with Franco, Isaac, and Sahm walking along 6th Avenue as we journeyed to Sam Ash, the Shake Shack and the Guitar Center. Wednesday went to the Door and know upon getting home that I'll have a job when I go back on Monday.

So with that in mind I've got a budget to make, considering I'm gonna be buying possibly a Wii and/or 360, track jackets, letters (the Greek variety), and money in the bank...for a later date.

-Mikhail

pleasant weekend I tells ya. we got nothing that we planned to happen done and I saw Knocked Up. its fuckin funny as hell and I highly recommend it. aside from your ribs hurting you're going to feel very good after seeing it :-)

and some terrible news, Interpol is playing in New York tomorrow night and had no idea until about 15 minutes ago :-( and of course I don't have money either so craigslist aint even an option. on top of that can't even ask the folks because Penn State football season tickets go on sale Thursday! surely those are more important at the moment, Interpol's gonna have to wait :-/

A week into my summer vacation so its time to have a look at the 2007 Summer of SIH!! checklist:
-summer job...we should hear about that by Wednesday
-vacation spot...first weekend of June may be headed down to Virginia again, July hopefully Miami
-baseball on three of the household TVs at once
-Yankees game...July 3rd vs Twins, likely many others
-Senate meetings...we've had two already, many to come hopefully some with full attendance
-Penn State jerks...we'll see about that
-the late night talk show taping...I'll be applying for Letterdude tickets again soon

-Mikhail

"Procrastination! Gee, I wish I coulda wasted more time!"
-random old guy

Going through something I've actually never experienced before...I'll tell you as soon as I start to really grasp it.

-Mikhail

if you're checkin the post out for the first time, I've fixed around the layout...very nice I say. figured out a way to link my only two associates on here so w00t!! for that. well tomorrows the last scholastic day before the fall, terrible way to go out with two finals. Economics at 10 and World Geography at 3, the latter I'm not worried about at all, while I've tried taking the practice quizzes online and getting raped by them. its gonna be baaaaaaaaaadd tomorrow...I know it. so far I have an A in Math (which I saw coming since I registered for it) and a B in Speech (which I thought was gonna be alot worse). Ethics final today wasn't bad at all, took literally 15 minutes to do lol. it'll be nice to finally be done with school and get to be with the home crowd for 4 months. all there is left is the doubleheader, possible Thursday night stuff?, saying goodbye to people leaving Friday and back home Saturday.

-Mikhail

you know, its always good to know that there's someone that knows exactly how you feel...not because they've experienced it before or that they have a friend thats going through the same thing, but no...they as well are going through it. suddenly after hugging a buddy I hadn't seen in a while, the usual drunken shenanigans, a stellar beer pong game (that pretty much everyone was playing in, when only 4 people were shooting), then a good relaxed chat...the things you've heard the night before went just disappeared. thats another wonderful thing about college the tides turn so suddenly, one day you'll be thinking in the clouds the next your back on the hard ground. I've always been worried about what I really want and the indecisiveness really sucks, but theres one thing I can be sure of right now...I don't know what I want.

-Mikhail

well classes are finally over for the spring semester. its gonna be one extra day til I get back to New York since my folks have buisness to take care of on Friday, so I'll be back on Saturday. bummer too, I really wanted to be back so I can have the entire weekend to get back into New York rhythm. anyway, its been real good times up here, can't wait til the coming weeks when we start to mix the SIH!! Senate with the Penn State homies...the times are gonna be awesomeness.

in other news I just learned how to play with a frisbee...w00t!!

-Mikhail

You ever have one of those days when you're just thinking about everything possible? I don't know why thats happening, but I'd like for it to stop. There's nothing in particualr thats affecting me right now for me to do that so it really makes me feel weird. If I were able to explain it, I'd love to, but I can't...so I'll leave it at that.

In other news, three major assignments on my plate for this week, presentation for Geography, paper for Ethics and most likely my outline for my last speech. I took my entire Sunday and Monday morning doing my Powerpoint for Geography. Thank chesus he didn't say anything about listing resources because wikipedia makes presentations about terrorism 876128961301581239512 times easier.

This Wednesday the 18th was the Day of Silence against LGBT bullying. I managed to stay silent for 22 hours and 24 minutes breaking it at 10:45 to say "aww, thats nice" to myself after reading a lovely note from Vicky and Paul. I learned that alot of people say "Hey" or "watsup?" to me and that theres alot of stuff probably end up saying to myself. well thats all I got.

-Mikhail

yeah so here's what I learned tonight...I've clearly lost most of my drinking ability (or rather drunk ability). I had quite alot, but I think the real reason is that I haven't had any fun doing so. I haven't enjoyed the satisfaction a good drinking game brings whenever you have to point to someone and say drink, or forgetting the little man rule.

in other news, quite a shitty week has finally passed while also making it 3 weeks left of school. its gonna be so weird leaving, no one to go bother as frequently as I do nowadays. either way I'm not feeling generally happy, which really sucks. theres a real big void somewhere, that not even my buddy alcohol can usually patch up. whatever it is, I might have only a month to fill it before a summer I'm actually looking forward to...hmm.

-Mikhail

So yesterday I finally received a package from my folks of a couple of dress shirts, dress pants and my Yankees and White Sox caps and of course Cheez Doodles. I open the package to see box inside of a box, but better yet this:

yeah very resourceful of them to use it for packaging. really I think this is a nice side effect of college, having better appreciation for my parents. Its sucks that it took some major financial rapeage for it to come out, but I'm glad it did finally and surely enough I think my folks can be grateful for it as much as I am.

-Mikhail

Its been a while since I've made a list of anything, but today seemed like an appropriate time to do one.

The Sick-Day Checklist
-have a 9 hour night of sleep
-while sleeping have one of the most trippiest dreams you've ever had
-wake up at 11 knowing you have something to do in an hour
-take a shower
-realizing you're body aches to much to even walk out the front door, go back to sleep
-wake up at 3
-hear interesting stories about your friend's night that you definitely wouldn't miss out on if you weren't sick
-drink lots of fluids
-watch an American Gladiators marathon on ESPN Classic
-eat lots of cashews
-watch you're buddies play drinking games
-watch Ferris Bueller's Day off

well my headache has finally settled a bit so yeah...
-Mikhail

Revelation for the week: You can say "I don't care (insert annoying person's name here)." this(insert number or random if you haven't kept count) many times and they'll finally get it. Unfortunately still not enough for them to have that concept stick in their heads. example:

[scene] Katie, myself and Bucket conversating about fruits (like the ones that come from trees...no slang) I believe.

Katie: I love kiwis!
Mikhail: I've never actually had a kiwi.
Bucket: OMG NEITHER HAVE I! LOLOLOLOLOL
Katie: Why not?
Mikhail: I don't know...its a really weird fruit to me.
Bucket: OMG I THINK SO TOO!!! ===D~~ :-P
Mikhail: No one really cares.
Bucket: *grunt* *leaves the apartment*

[/scene]

on another note 2700 songs on iTunes *applause*

-Mikhail

Here's some good news today, Happy Anniversary to my digital camera. Two years ago today, after a good hour of pestering my mother into finally getting me one she finally did and went down to Circuit City with me. It hasn't seen much action in recent months other than major trips, holidays, and extremely random occurrences. plus its rather outdated and on the hefty side, so an upgrade is definitely in order.

so cheers to my lovely camera!

If there's anything I've learned so far in college, it definitely has to be that road trippin is an essential to life. earlier today we took a drive out to Shippensburg to do some K∑ bidness for our chartering. The day started around 10:30ish when we stopped at McDonald's for breakfast. actually the surprising thing was it was waaaaaaaaaay after 10:30 and we still got breakfast (bacon, egg, & cheese McGriddle ftw). We got on the road at around 11 and drove down to Shipp, got there at 12, started at 1 and ended at around 5. Then the President of their chapter invited us over to their houses, which were pretty small, but you knew Kappa Sigs lived there. anyway, the guys down there are a good bunch...then we drove back up and then I went to TGI Fridays with Katie, Beckham, Mike, Amanda, Joe and Steph. our waiter was hilarious and the food was considering I'm a TGI Friday's n00b. good weekend so far.

-Mikhail

btw I'm a l33t

w00t!! the nice warmer weather is coming in. you know I love my cold days, but the first few warm days really kick ass. everyone else is really enjoying it, pretty much everyone on campus is outside...like potheads came out to play death hacky sack, everyone is eating lunch out in the plaza, and me and Katie and others went out and played some catch.

btw my speech David Letterman came out just fine. I didnt feel confident about it at all and even my teacher recognized it, but all he said was (well it was to the both of us that presented) "you both looked like you were passionate about your topics, but that umph wasnt there that usually is." nonetheless I got an 87.7% so I didn't do bad at all.

time to finish up me laundry, laters.

Long, long ago (in October I believe), I made a statement saying I'd return to my blogging ways as soon as English was over with. Here we are halfway into the spring semester and about fuckin time I'm bored enough to start this bitch up again. I'll leave my english posts on here for shits and giggles because some of them were pretty funny. I don't think I've ever been that satisfied at my work from any english class.

So here's the story, it's St. Patrick's Day (and happy one to ye all) at the ladder end of Spring Break. Consider that Spring doesn't roll in till this coming Wednesday and that Penn State doesn't believe in breaks in February (much like every year up until this one back home) I'll call it late-winter break. It started last Friday night when me and the brothers of K∑ flocked down to Charlottesville, VA to do some work at HQ to help raise our chartering fee. Needless to say there were lots of shenanigans and probably the most guy ass I'll ever see in a span of 24 hours. Lots of good eating I'd say (1 for 2 at Red Robin, Super 8 Motel's "continental" breakfast...basically english muffins and orange juice, Dominos lunch for free on behalf of HQ, and 2 for 2 at Texas Roadhouse) before returning back to campus Saturday night.

Sunday morning woke up at "9:30AM" and took a shower. "10:11AM" notice the quotes as I find Sahm has called me at 11:11AM. The doorbell rings and low and behold its Sahm...pwnt by Daylight Savings Time. We chill at Katie's, since she was our ride, til 12:30PM and go to H-burg. Half way there I realize I left my ticket on my desk *Price is Right losing sound*. Drive back to campus and get to the station at exactly 1:20PM in time to see the train peace out. Took the next one at 3:05PM and got home at around 7PM.

Monday I go to the DeezMV to get my permit/ID which took a surprising time of 2 hours and 30 minutes (about), otherwise not as bad as I've heard for wait times at any DMV (given the 1 hour wait to have my number called after taking the test).

Wednesday I went down to the Door to see Greg, who at this point I'm referring to him as my life mentor. It was a pretty slow day at the Door so we just hung out around the building catching up on my college life and the usual stuff in that gray building. After the hour and a half of chatting I go walking around SoHo and go to Foot Locker and buy some new kicks, namely these (although not exactly those colors):



Thursday come back to campus on rainy ass day and spent a couple of hours cleaning the apartment.

Friday, literally did nothing all day. I slept about 11.5 hours waking up at 1:30PM to watch Family Matters and an hour of Spongebob. My dickface roommate woke up to a phone call from his mom and proceeded to just yell at her as he usually does. I watched TBS for 3 hours, then Food Network for 1, NBC for 2 hours, and at 10:30PM get an IM from Katie saying to come to Giant with her to get some meds for sickly Alex. I bought 4 DiGiorno personal pizzas for $10 w00t!!, we come back and just talk for a bit and we watched Little Miss Sunshine and then talked some more before going to "sleep" at around 4:30AM.

Nothing on tap today so far, I called my folks and my grandma is on her last nerve with my brother, which = LOLs for me. then I started looking through my potential classes for the fall.

That's all for now, this is awfully long, but hey...its been a while since I've done the blogging thing.
