brief life update.
-it is now t minus 39 freakin days! but that's not even the worse part...according to my calculations, i have um SIX days of school left?! how is that possible. well easily, due to the fact i have two workdays a week and there's marathon monday coming up. but good lord. time is flyin. if only i could hire someone to do all the papers i have due btwn now and may 16th..
-as most of you recall, last week we had spring break part two: the norovirus vacation. basically, there is a rare virus that started spreading around campus and i'm going out on a limb and saying that it's just some fool that got the disease doing god knows what on spring break. that fool in return probably touched every door nob and cookie at trim dining hall and spread the germs all over campus. now babson looks like a school of kids that don't know hygiene, far from the truth...i hope. the media was all over campus last week (i put in a solid effort to make it on camera but failed, i just wanted to meet someone from Channel 5, is that too much to ask?) the noro soon spread to about 150 kids.
-what did i learn from the noro? that my immune system is friggen relentless. my suitemate was one of the first victims of the noro and we live in such close quarters that i have no clue how i dodged it. even about 8 kids on the track team got the noro. according to momma sull, our fam doesnt get stomach viruses easily, which is great news (even though its not even news, its just the facts, that i failed to notice for 21 years). i also learned, that after you wash your hands you must "vigorously" dry your hands with a paper towel (its on every sign around campus). who knew air drying isn't good enough?
-the noro also gave me the opportunity to continue the addiction which began on sb '09. the office. not that I wasn't in love w/ the show before, but my obsession is out of control. started during some jetlag recovery in AZ..and is still going strong.
-spring break: i could write a book on spring break. but im not a great writer so that isn't necessary. quick synopsis: fantastic vaca. katie and i took the vw golf & drove from phoenix to san diego to LA (stopping in laguna, newport beach, el segundo (possible future worksite), bev hills, and stayed in santa monica) we stayed in the "banana bungalow" in san diego right on the sand of pacific beach. it was my first american hostel experience. and in retrospect, it was a great decision. dirt cheap. ocean views. great people, minus a few exceptions. (just a roomate from the marines that sleeps with knives and gets beligerently drunk and a old snoring mexican, nbd) but seriously, go to the banana bungalow if you ever find yourself in PB sd. so worth it for the continental breakfast of sliced bread and peanut butter. after we finished the roadtrip through cali, we soaked up the AZ rays by the pool for a few days.
-lent update: i'm so close! only 5 more days of no-shopping-hell. It's been a tough 6 weeks and probably the longest amount of time i've gone without a purchase. it's taught me a vital lesson though. all you have to do to avoid shopping, is shield or divert your eyes as you walk past storefronts and don't take a single step into the shop. easter '09 will be more glorious than ever.
-track update: two meets down. 3 to go. next stop. umass lowell. running the a wonderful 12.5 laps. should be interesting. so this is for you tyngsboro'ers. if your in town for easter, and don't come to ulowell, the whole 10 minute drive it is, i will personally kill you. jk thats dramatic. but seriously. if the sun is shining, then what better place to be than the ulowell track?
that's enough for now. word on the street is that long blogs are snorer's so i'm cutting down my ramblings as much as i can. (this short enough for your attention span clauds?) until next time folks...
