Football and feminists

As I am writing this blog entry, a few things are happening. Firstly, the House of Reps is currently voting on the health care bill. I do hope it passes! Second, my adventures of this week, academic and otherwise, have thoroughly exhausted me and I am incapable of reading the book that I have to read for class. And lastly, I have a hot cup of Ribena at my side, a slight home comfort that is even more pleasant due to the falling of a late-spring snow outside.

This week has been interesting. Monday was dominated by a horrible migraine, whereas Tuesday was controlled by a lovely article critique for my class on the USSR. I have another one to do next week, but it usually only takes a couple hours to finish. Wednesday, I did some more homework, studied for my test on Thursday, and had dinner at Leah's house. Groceries were done on the way over, as she lives a couple blocks down from Maxi, the cheapest supermarket here. Thursday, I was in school for most of the day, whether in class, writing up some homework, or doing some law research.

Friday was certainly a lot more fun. I did some homework, as normal, but not a whole lot. I then went out to dinner with Lauren and Camille to an irish pub. I had fish and chips, and then Camille and I went to go see "Blindside". The movie was really, really good and served as an inspiration to the better side of humanity.

Saturday, I was able to complete a tiny bit more of homework, along with some preparations for the evening's festivites. Camille, Cameron, his friend Kate, and I all went and saw Bonnie's production of the "Vagina Monologues". It was really quite funny at times, emotional at others, and overall, a great show. Drinks and dancing followed, and I had a lovely night. (the taxi ride home was a plus, and I felt so rich being in a car.....having sat in one perhaps twice in 4 months).

And now today, incapable of finishing any homework due to being completely exhausted from the week, I am taking a day off. Homework can be postponed, and I will no doubt finish all my assignments. Afterall, I don't arrive in California for another 5 weeks, which in comparison to the 7 months that I have already been here, in more than miniscule.
