| Yes, so I can add one more accomplishment to my college career list...passing out in a pool of my own vomit. :p
Great night last Saturday. Went to a huge frat party w/ Helen and her friends, w/ an open bar and bartenders. It was pretty tight. List of all the different types of alcohol I consumed:
beer, vodka, gin, rum, whisky, tequila, jager, triple sec, and peach scnapps. Feel like I'm forgetting something, not sure. Either way, a good time was had by all. And me and Helen=sweet beer pong team. Won our first game, lost on the last cup after mounting a furious comeback in the 2nd game. Capped the evening off by heading back to my dorm, and apparently puking all over my futon (I definately remember the hour or so I spent in the bathroom...evacuating, lol, but not that one), then later coming back in and passing out in it. :p
Now, we're pushing the dorm rules by not taking our loft down until the end of Finals week, even though we're supposed to have it down before it starts. Me, w/ all my finals the first two days of Finals week, and my roommate, who has 2 exams and 2 presentations this Thursday, both agreed that was fucking bullshit and no one's going to care on Friday when Finals are done anyway, and we have time to actually do it (plus don't need to get my parents to come up to pick up the wood and possibly the futon, since I doubt it would fit w/o a loft).
Hmm, what else is happening? Oh, the Wings are working on giving me an ulcer to match Veen's. My stomach's still roiling on me after that heartbreaker last night. Bad enough that double OT kept me up until 2:30 or so; then I was so worked up that I couldn't fall asleep for another couple of hours anyway, meaning I slept through all my classes today AGAIN (for the 3rd time in the last 5 days of class, lol).
Well, off to the Baker woodlot to do my...*dum dum dum* woodlot project! That's right (except for Veen, who I don't think took bio at Lowell), its the return of the woodlot project! Blast to the past there.
Later.

| Mwahahaha! I managed to argue w/ my Michigan fan friend for 20 minutes that MSU had a better grad school than Michigan did. It took him that long to finally prove me wrong in such an obvious, unsupported claim. I might have well been arguing that the 3rd Matrix movie was the best of the 3, and the The Phantom Menace will live on as the greatest science fiction movie ever made, and yet I STILL managed to drag that thing out for 20 minutes and force him into actually doing research to prove me wrong.
A transcript of this daring venture, which amused me and my roommate to no end (seriously, you have to know the guy, he is so smug and sure he's right about everything, and he's normally just well informed enough to kick my ass in every debate we ever get in, which makes it hilarious that the debate I finally manage to "win" is over something so stupidly wrong):
(00:38:22) Aaron: and MSU is better than Michigan at yet another thing!
(00:38:27) Aaron: national debate team champions, bitch
(00:47:40) John: hold on to what you got, lol
(00:48:03) John: too bad MSU's grad schools suck yet again compared to Mich's :P
(00:48:43) Aaron: bah, we were tops in the nation in a few
(00:49:27) John: a precious few
(00:49:36) John: but nearly all universities have some top program
(00:50:27) Aaron: 4th in Osteopathic Medicine, 2nd in supply chain/logistiscs, 1st in primary/secondary education, 2nd in nuclear physics
(00:51:01) John: there are so many more than that, first off
(00:51:23) John: second off....remember how MSU's Law School went from a third-tier to a fourth-tier, and how Michigan's is 3rd either public or private?
(00:51:56) Aaron: well, congratulations for inflicting the world w/ lawyers, what a contribution to society
(00:52:05) Aaron: I'll keep our nuclear physicists, thank you very much
(00:55:43) Aaron: so in summary, MSU: teachers, doctors, and scientists, Michigan: lawyers
(00:55:45) Aaron: congrats, guys
(00:57:31) John: LOL
(00:57:34) John: nice try
(00:57:52) John: remember how I said Mich was Top 25, while MSU is second-tier? Yeah. lol, don't forget that part
(00:58:14) John: and...doctors? WOW. Michigan produces far better doctors, considering they have a much better medical school, unequivocally
(00:59:17) John: also, nice try with the scientists thing
(00:59:18) Aaron: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/med/brief/mdprank_brief.php
(00:59:22) Aaron: I'm sorry, what is that?
(00:59:25) Aaron: ownage? oh, ok
(01:00:05) John: haha, that's college of osteopath. medicine, it's different from, say, med school, but I can't remember how
(01:00:17) Aaron: we're also on the list a 2nd time at 14th, I might point out
(01:00:39) Aaron: and where's Michigan?
(01:00:39) John: oh, that's true....hmm, things must've changed a little bit in the last few years. Even so, that's one small blip on the grad school radar
(01:00:42) Aaron: oh there tehy are
(01:00:45) Aaron: OFF THE LIST
(01:00:46) Aaron: fucker
(01:00:51) Aaron: again
(01:00:56) John: you have to remember, too, Michigan has a lot MORE programs than MSU
(01:01:00) Aaron: doctors, teachers, and scientists vs. lawyers
(01:01:07) Aaron: congratulations
(01:01:30) John: and also that what programs both of them have, Michigan has the better ones easily in general
(01:02:11) Aaron: I love your sweeping generalizations completely unsubstantianed w/ any facts, and ignoring the facts I've presenting
(01:02:13) Aaron: bravo, John
(01:02:19) Aaron: I think the point here is that you lose
(01:02:38) John: lol, wow....no, see, what's happened here is that you've provided a few limited examples and run with them
(01:03:02) John: when the evidence, that Mich is consistently ranked overall in the top 25 for grad schools while MSU is considered a 2nd tier school, is clear
(01:03:27) John: it's ridiculous even to suggest that MSU compares with Michigan academically
(01:03:45) John: maybe in a few areas, such as apparently medicine and education (although education grad schools are effectively a joke, in general)
(01:04:03) Aaron: pfft
(01:04:19) Aaron: you have no arguement, so you continue to dodge the facts w/ sweeping, unsubstantiated generalizations
(01:04:30) Aaron: maybe you should just give up and cry like a little girl
(01:04:34) Aaron: b/c I've whipped you like one
(01:04:36) John: oh, THERE we go
(01:04:40) John: Research med schools
(01:04:42) John: Mich: 11
(01:04:45) John: MSU, no where
(01:04:50) Aaron: you can not argue w/ my flawless object
(01:04:53) Aaron: *pfft*
(01:04:54) John: Law schools, Mich: 8, MSU 4th tier
(01:05:03) John: Biz schools, Mich: 11, MSU farther down
(01:05:09) Aaron: again, lawyers vs doctors, teachers, and scientists
(01:05:22) John: engineering school, Mich 6
(01:05:36) John: MSU nowhere
(01:05:44) Aaron: yeah, that's your speciality
(01:05:48) Aaron: we'll allow you to be good at something useful
(01:06:02) Aaron: considering we get that shit shoved down our throats every 10 minutes, I would hope you're pretty good at it
(01:07:04) John: lol, what is it now?
(01:07:23) John: we've covered most of the major areas of grad school
(01:07:36) John: Michigan: overwhelming superiority, State: still trying
(01:08:25) John: Top national universities: Mich 25, MSU 74
(01:10:06) Aaron: final talley: 20 minutes for you to finally put up a credible arguement for something that should have taken 30 seconds to own me in
(01:10:09) Aaron: congratulation
(01:10:10) Aaron: s
(01:10:17) Aaron: clearly, you are not on the MSU #1 in the nation debate team
(01:10:25) John: lol
(01:10:37) John: well, since you conceded your point, clearly neither are you :P
(01:11:01) Aaron: haha, my point was absurd
(01:11:03) John: but that's okay, because if I found out I was good at something that I could get a scholarship in for a competition, I'd transfer east
(01:11:10) Aaron: I just wanted to see how long I could milk it :-p
(01:11:28) John: lol, well congratulations
(01:11:49) John: now that you've proved your point, lol....*shakes head* :P
(01:12:03) Aaron: haha, more importantly, I had fun
(01:12:34) John: lol, well, that's good anyway
(01:13:39) Aaron: my roommate got a kick out of it too
(01:14:45) John: lol, I'm glad I could bring a few moments of joy into someone's life
Ah, magnificent.

| "Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both
victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere
veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant,
vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates
what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone
vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and
virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious
and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a
vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of
such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily,
this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an
introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may
call me V."
Wow. Probably the best movie I've seen all year. If you haven't seen V for Vendetta yet, go. Its amazing.
What an...interesting night, lol. Started off pretty mundane. Watched GM get smoked in the FF, played b-ball for a few hours outside, then went to see V for Vendetta, which was amazing, and then played Smash Bros and Double Dash for a few hours. Anyway, around 2:00AM, we got the brilliant idea: "Hey! Let's go to Indiana!"
So we did.
The five of us piled into Mike's car, and singing classic rock songs the whole way, we went down to Fort Wayne. We stopped at Coldwater on the way to buy a CD for the car (since no one brought one) and two frisbees. When we finally got to Fort Wayne, it was about 5:30 in the morning. We ate at a Steak and Shake, then played frisbee in a Meijer parking lot, then took off back for Lansing, getting back a little after 10:00AM. Which is where I am now.
Ridiculously random, weird night. When I'm fully conscious, I will regail you w/ more stories from it.

| *sobs softly, while rocking back and forth in the fetal position*
I just set up my class schedule for next year. My spring semester...oh god, its ugly. 3 geology classes with labs, a 400 level history seminar, and Latin. I'm going to die. There is no way around it. My obituary will read
Aaron 2/4/1986-2/4/2007. Died at age of 21. Cause of death: 18 credits.
I really, really wish there was a way around this. But I don't see one. So mostly, I'm just going to die. Especially on Thursdays. Class/lab from 8:30AM-7:00PM, almost continuously (I get 50 minutes for lunch, and 40 minutes at 2:20, and that's it). With 2 lab reports due as well that day.
*sobs uncontrollably*
In further news, I just handed in a paper where I continually called Emperor Vespasian 'Vespian'. This has been a bad couple of weeks.
| | |
| Ugh. This has to be the worst week my GPA's gone through in a long time. I managed to not realize I had an Entomology exam Tuesday until I showed up (thus putting my I had assumed in the bag 4.0 in jeopardy out of sheer stupidity), get back and History exam that I did worse on than I expected to, and completely bomb a Physics exam (on the order of 50% on a non weighted scale bombed).
It hasn't been a bad week overall, which might be why my GPA has gotten the smackdown. A significantly larger portion SHOULD have been spent studying, but I had so much other stuff going on, I didn't have as much time for it as I would have liked.
So yeah, not in the greatest mood b/c of all that. Trying to just shove it out of mind and enjoy my weekend, but unfortunately its relatively important in the scheme of things, so another few hours of pouting will probably occur before I finally put it behind me.
Other than that, got a fairly eventful weekend in store. Walleyball, laser tag, March Madness, MSU hockey team in the NCAA tournament, "Pirate Pong" Saturday night, and I'm hoping to scrap together a pickup b-ball game and maybe even some poker, or even some open hockey (try to get my skating legs back, b/c IM's basically only serving the purpose of demonstrating that I DON'T have them).
And I don't have much due between now and finals...wait. Shit, just remembered I have another exam and a paper I haven't started due next week. Scratch that last part.
We'll try to do better next time.
