Subject: "do you go 'round drenching everyone with flame retardent chemicals?!"

i got this like an hour ago (shoved through the crack under the door):

"although students do not need to vacate their living centers over spring break, those planning to stay for all or part of spring break MUST notify their living center director by completing an extended stay form which they can pick up at their front desk. students must register with their housing staff member no later than noon on tuesday, february 28th."

if i receive the message during class, to be retrieved when i get out of class at 4pm, tuesday, february 28th, how am i supposed to do all this running around filling out papers bullshit before noon today? i'm pretty sure that's not humanly possible. i just get sick of all the bullshit, and how i'm always the last one to know. like it's some big secret... or even if it isn't a secret, chris can't know, because it'll piss him off, and that'll be one funny reaction to watch. oh, what a laugh. (realistically, i know it's not a malicious thing, but still)

and like, katie calls me up this morning and is like "hey, we're gonna go get lunch and pick up our shirts that we ordered, since we need to do that by friday, or she's going to start giving them away". and i was like "frida... wha?!"
"yeah, it's on the message board downstairs, on the other side of the building"
"well, that's gonna help me a lot. you know what pisses me off? i sent her an email like a week ago, asking her when was a good time to pick it up, and she hasn't even replied to my message yet! and now she's threatening to give my shit away that i PAID FOR?!"

it's just little shit like that. always happening. homework assignments. get togethers. little shit. and i just hate that feeling of inescapable oblivion. it's not even blissful ignorance. it's the futile pursuit of enlightenment. and i hate the fact that it's futile. because apparently it's on a need to know basis, and i'm just not good enough to know. that's a sickening feeling. and i despise it.

thankfully it has not yet pervaded my consciousness completely. i've got many other, far better, feelings running around upstairs, to keep me good and distracted.

so, i have to finish two stats assignments, write a paper, lead a class discussion, do some german (but not much), vacuum, do laundry, clean the bathroom, fix the truck, get money, spend money, band practice tomorrow, hunter's party saturday, radio show friday, oodles of honors reading. and i have to clear out by 10pm on friday, since i didn't have a chance to fill out an extended stay form.

i'm trying really hard not to be angry, honest. it's just not working. time for food and loud music. then band tonight. but maybe i should get some pants on first...

You're fine, Chris. (Arggh, I had the sudden urge to call you Topher. Darn you, Hunter.) You kind of sound like my sister when she was younger: "I miss everything!" And it happens. Don't let it get you down. I'm sure Hunter will let you crash there for part of break if you need to, and judging from senior tshirt distribution experience, Nicole wouldn't have kept her threat. Besides, she said something about putting a sign on the normal side, which you would have seen, and I'm sure she would have facebooked community council. All's well that ends well. Shakespeare knows his stuff. :P

Think happy thoughts. About break or something. And if you are free at whatever time Friday night, my fam is going to set up some game or other in the great room which you are invited to. Digital smiles.

Colleges seem to always want to screw people. You know, give as little info as possible, then when you aren't aware...BAM! Right up the ass.

My spring break is next week, actually. I figure everyone has a totally different one, just to dick things up.

my dorm is like that too
only they dont notify me of stuff because they dont like me
and seriously I am not just being me and thinking that the world hates me.
i probably wouldnt be overly fond of me either but I do live here.
either way. only a couple of months to go.
endure on.
