I've been surprisingly productive lately. A few weeks ago, I got a job at Starbucks, so I'm finally making money again. I've had tests like crazy lately - in most of my classes, I have tests every 3 weeks, but during the hurricane a lot of them were pushed back, so I had those to make up, and the subsequent ones weren't postponed at all. Fun times, really. As predicted, organic chemistry has, in fact, turned into something of a nightmare, and while I don't mind physics class, the accompanying lab makes me want to cry sometimes.
Not that I'm complaining: I perform at my best when I'm consistently occupied. This way, I never have the opportunity to slide into a pattern of oversleeping and being hungover all the time.
Oh, and I somehow managed to find the time to turn 19.
My birthday was actually Friday, but LSU's fall break was Thursday and Friday and most people went home for the 4-day weekend. So my roommates threw me a party Wednesday night. I couldn't have asked for better friends than the ones I have. Brandon bought me a bottle of Bacardi 151; Mary bought me the LSU football t-shirt I've been wanting since last semester; my roommates bought me condoms. Aaron managed to stumble down the street from the TigerLand bars, where he spends 90 percent of his time these days, to my apartment.
So here's the fun part: I had to work the opening shift at Starbucks at 5 am Thursday, but I didn't let that stop me from getting obscenely drunk Wednesday night. Oh, and on that note - you should try mixing Smirnoff's strawberry vodka with strawberry Kool-Aid. It's incredible. Of course, it was the 151 shots that did me in. But I somehow managed to stay awake the entire night, with Aaron's help. I made it to work almost entirely sober.
