This is the first time in nearly ten years that I don't take part in the College's freshmen orientation week. Granted, I had a viable excuse, but it doesn't make me feel much better.

Does anyone know some decent home remedies for a general malaise or fatigue? I don't want to start relying on health insurance just yet.

Dear town:

Here's a tip: stop celebrating holidays. Bad things tend to happen every few years.

Love, a concerned citizen.


Well, at least I got to catch up with some people briefly. Rangiku, we need to arrange a time to meet up. Yachiru, Sango, Winry, do you all know Rangiku? Because all of us should definitely have a beach date or something. Or lunch. Lunch is good, too.

Well, say hello to Mishima University's newest Admissions Officer. Yeah, I'm one of those faceless people who decides whether or not some fresh-out-of-high-school kid is going to be joining up in my soon-to-be alma mater. So if you or anyone you know has any hopes of wearing an MU sweatshirt, remember that I like homemade peach pie.

Or... you could just walk into the bookstore and buy an MU sweatshirt, I guess. That works, too.

Now to decide whether I want to be the loser who moves back in with my parents after graduation, or if I've got the funds for my own place just yet.

I wasn't going to make a big deal about it this year, but I just realized that my birthday falls on the Saturday after Spring Break starts. That Friday night (the 20th) would be an all-too perfect time to throw a party. Who's with me?

Women are strange, strange creatures. Seriously, I thought I was done being left in the dark after graduating high school.

The world needs to stop spinning and let me off. Preferably before graduation, which is, what? Eleven, twelve weeks away?

Man, I hate this "life is an ever-flowing river" crap.

Happy birthday, Yachiru!

We're still on for the movies tomorrow?

School's been kicking my ass in a major way. And then there's the fact that I haven't even thought about grad school, but apparently all of my professors think that I should go get another degree... in various subjects. I've got education, law, and philosphy being thrown at me by several professors. Can't I just teach the philosophy of law and get it over with?

And then with working at the bookstore... I'm ready for summer vacation. I just wish this weren't my last one.

Since everyone seems to be so hung up about it, I won't mention the V-word. But I will mention that I got a perfect score on my oral presentation of Crime and Punishment. Heh, and with only a week to prepare for it, too. I really hate being randomly chosen to go first, but at least I set the bar pretty high.

There's this recurring dream I used to have as a child. It involved some kind of witch or demon or something that made itself look like a beautiful woman to entice me over to its house, where it'd put me under a spell until I die. In the dream it was always snowing so hard that my family couldn't find me. It doesn't exactly snow here, but the wintertime always reminds me of that dream.

When is the weather going to get warm again?

There will be a huge party at the Mishima University campus center Saturday night. We've rented a snow machine to allow us to get an artificial taste of what they're getting in the east, and there'll be movies, music, contests, and free stuff, too. Bring your friends, your family, heck, bring complete strangers. Just make sure that you have a good time, since that's the idea.

It begins at 7:00pm, and lasts until... well, until you feel like going home. Really, some of us have the overnight shift, so if you see a tired-looking guy walking around in Guitar Hero pajamas, feel free to give him some caffeine.

If anyone's got any questions, leave them here or look me up in the campus directory and call me. For now, it's time for class.

-Your friendly neighborhood RA.

Saying that I'm looking forward to the Thanksgiving break next week is an understatement. Saying that I'm looking forward to finishing this semester a few weeks later is even more of an understatement.

Saying I'm not looking forward to having to deal with finals between then... heh, well, that's a given.

So, I'm thinking it's time for another trip into the family attic or something to find a get-up for Halloween. And to add my own flair to it, of course. Like the scrubs I borrowed from Hachi last year that allowed me to proclaim I was a gynecologist (it's a legitimate profession! What?). Fun times.

Any ideas for me for this round? School's have gotten too busy lately for me to give this the attention it deserves.

People who run like that on a regular basis when there aren't zombies chasing after them aren't health nuts. They're just nuts. Period.

Excuse me while I crash into bed until the muscle spasms clear.

Went to the health center today.

Is the room supposed to be spinning this fast?
