And so another weekend has come and gone. Only one more left for this term. That's pretty scary, I must say. Friday was my one free night....in other words, the one night that I was able to hang-out with the roommates. Except, none of them were really free. Bummer. So instead I kind of just drank alone and went to bed early. It was not very exciting at all. Last night, though, I went sledding with the 2YG.

So in years past, we've (roommates and I) gone sledding at the local golf course because that's where the biggest and best hill is located. But we've also got late at night...like between 10 and midnight. Last night the 2YG and I got there at 8...and there seemed to be a Christmas party going on at the club house...because when we walked out to the hill and turned around, there was a big bank of windows all full of people looking out at us. Hmmmm....so we left in search for another rumored hill. 30 minutes of driving around later, we found out that the hill was actually a road that only was plowed occasionally. And last night it got plowed. Another bummer. I was convinced it would still work, though and made the 2YG try it out. And it didn't. Long story short, we said screw it and went back to the golf course and sledded for a long time. It was great.

After I finally left her room at like 1 a.m., I went back to my room. My roommates had thrown a party that I skipped to spend some time with the 2YG, but there was another party just starting as I got home. Not in our suite, but one just down the way...thrown by band people. It's an annual christmas party that I've attended in the past...but this year I knew that there was going to be some choice people there that I had no need to see. In fact, after just spending an awesome evening with the 2YG, they were the last people I needed to encounter. So I just skipped it.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out on some great memories by skipping out on events like that....but then I realize that I've spent 3 years of college partying and zero years spending time with someone special. This year can be different...and it is different.

Now today I'm in a mode of procrastination. I have this Public Relations project due tomorrow morning at 7:45 a.m. I haven't started it yet. But I also do not think it will be hard to make. And I have to do it in the journalism lab...which is where the campus newspaper is put together today. In other words, I'm putting it off as long as I can so that they'll either have the paper finished by the time I get in there...or only a few editors will be left. Either way, I've gotten some other work done today as well. I woke up and wrote a column for the paper. I spent 2 hours learning how to diagram sentences for Grammars class, and then diagramming about 15 sentences. And now I'm about to start typing an optional book report for my advanced news writing class. Pretty much I'm guarunteed an A in the class, but I want to make sure. So I'm going to quick write-up a half-assed report before Tuesday on this great book of magazine articles. I'm not quite sure how I'll fill 4 pages of critique, but I'm sure I'll find a way. Especially since it's the only thing I have to do for Tuesday.

Anyway. Yeah. Peace.
