I should be studying for quals, but I lost interest in that awhile ago. Give me the damn tests. I’ll pass or I won’t, just get them done. This dishes should also get done. And I should pick up my apartment so I can continue the deception of my boyfriend about my house keeping abilities. ---

I’m currently sitting in a class entitled “Social, Legal, and Ethical Issues in Information Technology.” No need to pay attention here. I’m a computer science major and this is a course taught by my advisor at the gen ed level. So it’s all very boring. Luckily for me this room has wireless! ---

Right now I should probably be packing for vacation, but I don’t go until Monday, so I figure I got some time yet. Instead I’m kicking back with a vodka and diet tonic and hanging out online. Nothing else to do. ---
