"You Know You're a Diehmer When..."

  • You know what to do when someone shouts "Sparrow!"
  • Your favorite game is 'Let's see how many people we can fit at one round table!'
  • You've spent at least one weekend night down in 2B playing/learning to play/getting your ass kicked at Halo.
  • You sit in the hallway all the time because there's nothing else to do.
  • Late night is an every night affair.
  • You really, really want to take your Fabreeze with you whenever you go down to 2B.

On to the Day's Lessons

Okay class, today we learned,
  • Sometimes you just need to grin and bear it. Karma, people, karma. It's a big thing.
  • Solfege syllables are more important than one might think.
  • Being 'on time' to some people may actually mean 12 minutes early.
  • Don't rely on technology, it's in cahoots with Karma.
  • People can kind of be jerks.
  • I should start my art homework sooner.
  • There is nothing like praise to make you feel like a million bucks.
  • Harry Potter and the Magical Muggle Museum is BACK! And I am so totally going.
  • There are only five classes until fall break.
  • Skype is really really distracting while doing homework.
  • The Hills is even stupider than I thought it was.
  • That I am, once again, out of jeans and need to do laundry. Ugh.
  • The fruit flies are now laying siege to the bathrooms as well.
  • That I will be seeing more of my friends parents than my friends over fall break.
  • People actually watch The Hills, like, on purpose.
  • I love apples. I had forgotten until today I went to Gordy's to get a snack, and picked apple slices. As a snack. Look at me, eating healthy on purpose!

Other than that, not much to report. Recently no new celebs have been spotted roaming the campus, and no new sightings of anything really interesting either. Maybe some around campus photos will be posted soon, who knows?

And so the Countdown Begins...

3 days until break people. Almost there, hold on people. So, I decided to include in this blog a list of things I'm planning on bringing back from fall break, for everyone's amusement, along with my normal list of lessons for the day. Here goes.

BRING BACK FROM FALL BREAK
  1. Windex (we tend to fog up the mirrors up in here)
  2. Kites (because the Quad is absolutely perfect for kite-flying)
  3. Curtains (to keep out creepers, oh wait, we need a functional peephole and coded knocks to do that...)
  4. New cover up (because the color I have now is more appropriate for the Twilight premiere than for everyday usage)
  5. Air Hogs mini-helicopters (for epic sky battles in all the airspace we have above our island)
  6. basket and pulleys (for our clothesline-esque transport system between bunk beds).
  7. Slip-on shoes (because my Vans can only take so much more duct tape before I'm wearing shoes made completely from duct tape)
  8. Cherry Chapstick (not for that reason Katy!! I don't know where mine got to and it is legit the best stuff for chapped lips!! Don't judge!)
  9. Game Cube & Karaoke Revolution (because we need some game systems down in 2A and we don't have to be drunk to sing karaoke)
  10. A real coat (because all I have is sweatshirts and it is freaking cold some days!)
