Sleep -- What's that?!

Oh I remember sleeping... yeah, that was nice while it lasted. But right now, it just doesn't take precedent. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do go to bed every night, but somehow tossing and turning for hours while I think about all of the things that still need to be accomplished and waking up everyday at 7 a.m. just isn't working for me. It took everything in me to stay awake during my favorite class today! If it weren't for the brisk Autumn winds blowing my hair and awakening my senses I would have probably crashed by now. I'm hoping things will slow down next month...

This weekend is going to be hectic. Tonight is the Ambassador dinner at Em and Whit's place, yay!! We're cooking cheeseburgers etc. and watching the V.P. debate! Tomorrow after classes my best friend and I are going to Harvard square for the afternoon to roam the beautiful campus, probably eat at a scholarly-looking cafe', and peruse Papyrus for beautifully expensive greeting cards we probably don't need but love to buy. Nobody writes letters anymore! After that I'm going to another friend's birthday dinner at Fire and Ice (a made-to-order buffet restaurant downtown that students love). The concoctions people have made there are often disgusting -- you can mix any and all kinds of meat with veggies, rice, pasta, potatoes, hamburger, seafood, and an array of sauces. I try to stick with the traditional stir-fry combo...

On Saturday my boyfriend and I are driving to New Hampshire to watch my little cousin's soccer game and have lunch with my dad. That evening I'll probably take it easy because the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk is the next morning! The walk is roughly 5 miles long; down the esplanade, across the Charles river, down Memorial drive, across another bridge, and back to Beacon Hill! Last year I raised a lot of money, this year I'm not doing so well with the fundraising...people apparently are really feeling the effects of our bombing economy. At least the government is no longer trying to deny the fact that we're in a recession...

Today during my tour the heel of my ballet flat kept slipping off...so I brilliantly used scotch tape to keep it on my foot. Tacky? Well it worked!

That's all for now I think... ciao!
