A Bit of a Countdown

29 days til my birthday. 27 days til my parents come and help me move. 24 days til this year's commencement and my pre-birthday drunken party with clare. 17 days til my last final and the start of summer. 15 days til the end of the year bbq. 12 days til the end of our 05-06 crew season (and subsequent party!). 6 days til i defend my silver medal in the single at MACC's (hopefully). 4 days until i'm done with french elements.

so what's been up recently? last week, crew formal. way fun. clare was my date, she in lauren's olive/dark green dress, me in my charcoal suit with a grey shirt and a black textured kenneth cole tie. i needed something to match with clare, so i went to the florist, got her a few stems.. a fern, a stem of red alstromeria, and two white gerbera daisies. the green tissue paper it was wrapped in was way lame.. so i cut the stems really short, took some kitchen twine, and wrapped a handle down the stems. it looked pretty awesome. i also took some of the cut fern leaves and stuck one in my breastpocket.. i really should have pinned it there cause it kept falling. but.. it was hot.

on another note.. have guys always matched their girls at formals? or is this something new that's recently come about? we did it back home at proms and such, but i didn't see any of it here at all.. until our formal this time where it seemed like everyone was concerned about matching. i, of course, always cater to my date :P whatever, totally not a big deal.

anyway, then vacarro's afterwards. then had ACLS in york this past weekend. cox'd the 8, but basically done coxing for the season now. just finished my last midterm today. just 2 finals and done for the year.

so it's been bugging me that i'll probably be rowing like every other day now. especially in this last week of serious rowing. everyone knows the week before vails is just a major taper.. so this is basically the last week of serious work. super-lame.

boys will be boys.

i've had a very weird eating schedule lately. i get hungry late at night... i probably shouldn't have gorged myself on saturday. it's been a while since i've approached so many calories in one day, without relieving them somehow.. no matter now, weight's irrelevant. whatever.. i needed it.

i've been downloading like a maniac again. i finally got rid of my crappy quality mp3's, well some of them, and am downloading whole albums. imogen heap, panic! at the disco, benassi bros., rihanna.

some things that have been annoying me lately... my bamboo won't grow evenly, one of the stalks is kind of stunted. totally sick of pchem and trying to get this damn sodium lab done. not having studied the right topic for my personality midterm. my apple juice bottles being too big to fit in my fridge. still living in this crappy apartment.... i can't wait to move at the end of this month!
