hell week; it’s a bryn mawr thing

February 18, 2010

So yesterday I was in an incredibly foul mood because the girls who live on either side of me set their alarms at insane hours of the morning. One of them set their clock for 4 AM and I had just finished some work and trying to succumb to sweet, blessed unconsciousness when her alarm went off. … And kept going. … And kept going. She’s not in crew and her first class is at 10 or 11 AM, so I really don’t know why she keeps doing this?

This happens every day and I’m usually okay because I sleep with my noise-canceling earbuds in, but I feel like I need to have a talk to her.

ME: … So, do you know that your alarm is set for 4 AM? …Because I know. <– I wish I could say that.

But yeah, if this happens again– I’m going to talk to her. I was in a total bitch “I HATE SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS AND BUNNIES WITH PANCAKES ON THEIR HEADS” mood yesterday.
But! Hell Week officially started yesterday at sundown and Melody is such a good sport. One of her Hell Week tasks was to ask people “Have you accepted the love of Severus Snape into your heart today?”

She printed out fliers; complete with a picture of a brooding Alan Rickman and instructions on the back on how to be “saved” by Severus Snape.

Today, one of her tasks was to wear all her eyeshadows. At the same time. Her first attempt was zombie extra-esque and her second attempt made her look like a victim of an unfortunate mugging. :D

(Also, tomorrow, she has to interject with “c’est ce qu’elle a dit” (that’s what she said) in her French class at every opportune moment.)

My hellee > your hellee.

So today’s shaping up to be a lot better than yesterday. I’ve witnessed countless Hell Week shenanigans, received Zombieland (finally, Netflix, finally!) and Love*Com in the mail, got two other packages (one of them containing my super comfortable new rainboots). I skipped my Chinese drills class and my Chinese professor (thankfully, not the one who conducts drills!) told me that she has already finished and sent my recommendation letter for my internship. We had a fascinating discussion on the Japanese Buddhist interpretation of Hell today in class.
All and all, I’m pleased. :D I’m probably going to skip my PE class today because I have to catch up on schoolwork. I’ve been very good about going to my classes this semester– I feel like this should be okay.
