| WHY MUST I LIVE IN FEAR!?!?!? As my roomate, Kristin, so
eloquently put it, I'm "gon' get raped". Well, at least I know
ahead of time so I can pencil it in around being tortured by the
Leviathan and blaspheming the Lord. It's gonna be a lovely
Spring, don't you think?

| After changing my major unofficially about 4 times, I think I'll go
with Political Science since I have a nice chunk of the requirements
fulfilled by accident already. And I think I'll aim for a minor
in Philosophy just for the sake of the LSATs. That's right folks,
this week, I think I want to be a lawyer but we'll see how I feel as
the week progresses. Some may call me flaky but I like to think
of it as "quick to bite" (just like our friend, the two-toed
sloth).
It's finally happened. I have been rewarded for my
procrastination. I was supposed to officially get out of the
School of International Studies by notifiying my new school and doing
some paperwork. I didn't feel like doing it immediately but
planned on doing it last week. Thank goodness I didn't because
when I called my parents, they congratulated me on a very generous
scholarship I had received. I hadn't applied for one nor did my
first semester grades warrant any kind of award especially with the
word "scholar" in it. I made some calls and found out that a
large grant given to the school was designated for a student who met
very specific requirements, so specific that they don't even ask people
to apply for it. It was originally for a Canadian in the Int'l
School. Since there were no Canadians, apparently I was next in line
(yeah, I stopped asking questions at this point). If I had not been too
lazy to change my major, this little fortune would not have been
bestowed upon me. So, the moral is, don't knock lazy. It
could win you undeserved money.
Classes are fun. The city is fun. Friends are fun. My
parents are visiting this weekend. Life is good right now.
Hopefully, I can find a job that I like for the rest of the semester
and this summer. Decisions, decisions.

| As you may have noticed, I have changed my profile pics on both Xanga
and Facebook from Danni as an 80's skank to Danni as a wholesome,
happy, half-asian baby who apparently likes volleyball. Where did
it all go wrong?
In just over two weeks, I will be back home and happy to be so.
Christmas gifts for the family will leave me poorer than anticipated
but it all will be for the greater good of the Bowes/Lee clan. It
sure doesn't feel like Christmas yet. For one thing, it sure as
hell isn't cold enough outside. Also, it doesn't smell like
Christmas. I have this thing with smells. It's a little
weird.
I must admit I've been very hermity and quite the loner for the past
week but maybe I'll break out of that phase soon enough. I'm
quite bored with Xanga. Who knows when I'll write again. I
only made an entry to explain why there's a baby instead of my face in
all of my profile pics and now look where we're at. Too much
writing all over again.
I never make New Year's Resolutions because they're pointless but
I will this year. It will be to go to the National Archives on a
regular basis and get crackin' on the family's genalogy. We've
hit a wall and I'm determined to trace it back to Ireland. It
shall be an interesting challenge. Well, I hope everyone has a
Merry Hannukwanzamas and a Happy Festivus for the rest of us!

| It is approximately 4am and I don't plan on going to sleep. I
have a Chinese test in 4 hours and I know as close to nothing without
actually knowing nothing as you can get. I'm grazing
nothing. I quit my nationality and its terribly archaic writing
system. I'm no longer Chinese because I can't read a damn
thing. I would greatly appreciate it if it joined the rest of the
world and evolved...stop using vulgarized pictures to convey meaning
because the world isn't seven years old. I should continue
studying but I've reached a point where I'm not absorbing anything
anymore. Me quitting my race is evidence of my frustration.
On a happier note, I am going home in 36 hours and am very excited
about it. I'm tired of both the city and school and will enjoy a
nice vacation away from it where I can read books that I actually like
and fraternize with the family and my friends. Until then, I have
to study for this Chinese test as well as a Math one so there's quite a
few hurdles standing in the way of freedom.
Roomate Kristen and I wanted to see what toilet in the girl's restroom
was the most powerful. We took a very long piece of toilet paper,
put each end in a toilet and flushed simultaneously to see which side
would pull more. Her toilet won...stall three remains
undefeated. We also left two pumpkins and a yellow sign in Jess's
changing stall and stood on toilets until she came out so we could
throw wads of toilet paper at her upon her emergence. Nicole
helped. We done real good.
Oh no, the guilt seems to be setting in and I feel I must return to the
loathsome task of studying Chinese. Next semester will be the end
of such hogwash! Happy Thanksgiving!

| The obscene amounts of makeup in the new profile pic is the result of an impromptu 80's night in our dorm room. I just wanted to let you all know so that you don't think I put on pounds of makeup on a daily basis to trample across campus like a oblivious freak. Well, at the very least I don't use makeup to do that.
My dad donated money in my name to the Sierra Club so I assume an official Green Party card will be arriving at my doorstep anyday now. Thanks Daddy. I really do love that environment. And Nader. A winning combination, I'd say.
I drank a case of water in 3 days and I like to leave the windows open all the time. So, my floormates think that the cold grip of the Grim Reaper has my life in his grasp but I think it's just because it's too hot on our floor. It's stifling, really.
I deleted my last entry because it was too politcally charged and criticized certain institutions more than I'd like to on a friggin xanga weblog. So I chose to delete it and put crap like this in its place. Personally, I liked it too and I felt it needed to be said but things like that have a time and a place. And that time and place isn't in your dorm room at 3am while eating week-old lo mein out of a Chinese takeout carton with a spoon. Not to say that was me but maybe my loyal readers enjoy a good case of botulism served on a silver platter. To each their own! | | |
