Things are going pretty smoothly. Not too much work this week. I guess it's the calm before finals. Tomorrow night is room draw, the purposely stressful process by which we choose where we live next year. Dinah, Julia and I are trying to get a triple. Hopefully there's one left for us by the time we choose tomorrow night. I have an interview for a job on campus for next year on Thursday. I really hope it goes well.
This weekend is UCLA's book fair, which is supposedly a really cool event. But the weather has been scorching and I feel in need of another beach trip. We'll see where the weekend takes me.

Volatile
Today I had a bad day. But this has been a pretty good week overall. I had a lot of work to do Monday (I didn't start my religious studies paper due that day until the night before), but I got it all done and went to work. Tuesday we watched a movie in Anthro. Wednesday my core class got canceled and I figured out my schedule for next year (to some degree at least). Today my Italian class was canceled and I got to sleep in and do reading for my Anthro class.
I was scheduled to work at 6pm, and I was hungry and wanting to go to dinner at 5. But a neighbor had laundry going and wanted me to wait 15 minutes, which turned into 25, so that I didn't get to the dining hall really until 530. All of that would've been ok if Mudd had been serving what was written on the menu online. You see, tonight was supposed to be Appetizer bar- a buffet of fried potstickers and eggrolls and yummy things. They haven't had it very often this semester. But instead Mudd chose this night to serve lobster tail on a whim! WHAT? WHY? Everything else being served looked horrible, but I no longer had time to wait to get a lobster tail because I had to go to work, unlike my friends. I thought, at about 5:42, after inhaling some pasta, that maybe I would. The lobster line was short and moving quickly, so I hopped on board. However, when I got to the front of the line, they were out of cooked ones, and I had to wait 10 more minutes. Which meant by the time I got back to my table I had 7 minutes to get to work and a steaming hot fresh lobster tail that wasn't cool enough to eat.
So at this point (and still, actually) I'm hungry, frustrated, have a headache and just can't keep perspective. These are all actually good problems for me to have. I go to school that decides to serve lobster for dinner out of the blue, and I have a job to go to (it's less than Oregon min. wage, but I can't complain- I mostly just surf the internet anyways). Despite what awesome problems there are for me to have, it does not make me any less bitter about the lobster.
My awesome friends saved and brought back the lobster tail for me. They put it in the fridge. But really, what do I do with a cold lobster tail? Microwaving it makes it rubbery. Not to mention the rest of the dorm might crucify me for making the kitchen smell like fish. But I'm kind of hungry and might just do it anyway.

Easter
I'm heading out to Taylor's today to spend the weekend. His friend is having a barbeque today which will be fun, and then tomorrow I'll be having Easter with his family. This is an acceptable alternative since I can't be home having Easter with you guys. But here's a little bit of information I stumbled across that makes a traditional Easter hurt a little. I'd almost rather be in a dining hall with friends. Almost.
Without further ado... Harvey Mudd's Easter Brunch Menu:
Lobster Tail?!?!?!?! No wonder these schools cost so much. But that's not a complaint. I'm just bitter since I won't be around to benefit.

Death
I've had the busiest week and a half ever! I had to write a 10 page paper about Death, a 5 page paper for Religious Studies and a 3 page paper for Anthropology (on a book we just read about how sugar changed the world). Hall draw is coming up as well, which is the process in which we choose a room for next year. Julia and I are going to be roommates again, so we're looking for awesome doubles in the older dorms. We saw the coolest 2 story triple, but we don't have a third person, otherwise it would be awesome.
I thought I would finally go ahead and post some pictures from Disneyland! It was easily the best day of my Spring Break :)
