It's been excruciatingly cold here for the past few days, and more and more I'm noticing that no matter how smart some Northwestern people think they are, a few can't seem to grasp the concept of frostbite. It's bad enough to see people walking around without a heavy coat on (in a sweatshirt or jacket), but it's another thing altogether to see someone riding a bike in shorts and a t-shirt. That's what I witnessed on the way to class yesterday, after dinner, after the sun had gone down and it was easily close to zero degrees with the wind. I wonder if he even recognized that everyone was staring at him as he rode by. Someone who's dumb enough to go outside like that in this weather probably wouldn't notice something like that.
Congrats to my roomie who has hit two milestones in the past few days: entering her third decade and becoming a tridelt. =) It's too bad everyone that went through rush is so tired now, though...apparently the KDs got 2-3 hours of sleep a night. And I thought I was tired this morning.
This weekend was pretty drunken, as usual. I drank for four nights straight, so Sunday was a little rough, but at least I had that one day to relax before class started up. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays aren't my sleeping in days anymore, either, so it was good to rest Sunday night. My Family Matters internship is going to be in the morning since I have to pull Tia out of class to work with me, and it has to be during her reading time. That means that my conferences with her teachers have to be at 8:30am on Fridays, which entails me being on the El at 8. So teasing Dan about orgo is coming back to haunt me. At least it appears that the class and and job will be interesting, and a lot of it actually pertains to what I want to do after school, so I feel like this quarter actually has a purpose in getting ready for later in life.
That class helps me get over the fact that my other three classes are the most boring in creation. My number theory professor never really says much of anything, my philosophy professor thinks that the gods are turning off lights in the lecture hall when it is in fact his lower body hitting the switches, and my English professor thinks that reading 20 pages of a Whitman poem aloud is a sufficient use of our time. This may turn out to be a very long quarter...
