It's already been looking like Christmas for, like, three weeks

My roommates love decorating.

The final frontier

I'm done with one final, and I have one tomorrow at 8 a.m. (UGH), and then two more on Friday. I am already so sick of looking at my computer screen that I want to stab myself in the eyes with chopsticks.

I'm at the library studying (this is super weird for me, I always study at home) with my friend Margaux and she is diligently writing shit down on note cards while I just play sudoku puzzles online. I know I should probably do some more studying, but I feel like there's not that much more for me to write. I think I'm just really lazy and she's just really thorough.

Also she just gave me a piece of poundcake. She is the best ♥

Ahhhhhh!

Kimberly didn't know what the Jewish equivalent of a "Secret Santa" would be.

Thanksgiving

Three consecutive days of too much food.

On the bright side, I've lost enough weight overall that I fight into all my old pants from high school! (Even though my mouth currently tastes like cholesterol and diabetes.)

I'm tempted to blame this war on Germany too

The weather today was really lovely, especially for mid-November in the San Francisco Bay. I only know this because I was outside for approximately five minutes, walking to and from the grocery store to buy milk and pita bread and snag all the tasty samples Andronico's puts out on the weekends. Anyway, the reason I spent the rest of the day indoors is because I have this 7-10 page paper on the 'foreseeability' of WWI and it's due Thursday and it's technically all my fault for not starting sooner, but I'm sort of starting to see the appeal in blaming everything on Germany.

Also, I keep talking about war being 'unforeseeable' and it's really making me want to watch In the Loop.

Gray skies and steel nerves

This is what the weather has turned to. Sometimes I lament the cold, but I actually love the way cloudy skies make all colours (even the gray and black of the Bay Bridge) seem more vibrant.
