Heh. I'm probably annoying my neighbors by chortling merrily at the second Adrian Mole book. I just finished it, and have now realized there are four more waiting for my consumption! Must investigate at the library.
Speaking of libraries, I have a carrel! Alas, it is just a desk and shelf, rather than a locked room, and I'm sharing it with someone else from my program, but at least when the books for papers get to be overwhelming, I can check some of them out to the carrel and leave them there rather than humping them back to my apartment.
Speaking of dragging things back to my apartment, I got the Writing Center hours I wanted, which means that I don't have to be on campus at all on Tues/Thurs. HOORAY. Of course, I still have to get up at 6:30 on MWF for the 8 AM 101 class, so I won't really be able to sleep in on TR and stay sane, but I'm a big fan of only having to be there three days a week. Lots of uninterrupted time for errands and studying and cleaning. (I have turned into SUCH a clean freak, y'all. It's mostly due to my fear and loathing of roaches, yes,* but still. I think being entirely responsible for my living space has galvanized me into making sure it looks nice. I bought a vase and some pretty fake flowers today to go on my table. I AM TOTALLY MARTHA STEWART NOW.)
Speakin of nothing else, did you know Kenyon has an iTunes U site? With ancient records from the archives on it? ...Dammit, now I have "The Thrill" stuck in my head. But ah, memories.
* No dish stays unwashed for longer than an hour. The trash goes out every night without fail. I bleached my entire bathroom and much of the kitchen last week, and will probably get a supply of boric acid just in case. I had my father caulk up every tiny hole anywhere, and put out a ton of those Combat roach bait/poison thingies. NO BUGS HERE.
