With a Rebel Yell

FALL BREAK TIME KIDDIES!!! Yes, today is the last day of classes before two rollicking days off. This is how you can tell: lots of people walking around campus with really awesome plans for the 5 days of freedom and an overwhelming urge to tell you about them. So my inadequacies of not having anything to do next year are suddenly eclipsed by those inadequacies brought by my lack of anything to do for the break. But never fear...to prove how totally rocking awesome said break will be (despite lack of plane tickets or tiki lights), I will provide here a list of my activities, divided by day. Yes, it's probably more for me than you, but what the hell, you know you like it.

Friday Night
1. Make hamburgers with Matt. Grill to desired doneness.
2. Make several cups of Jack and Coke.
3. Watch debate. Drink every time the words "economy", "record" or "Medicare" are said.
4. Discuss debate.
5. Have sloppy sex. Pass out.

Saturday
1. Sleep late.
2. Clean out closets, putting away summer things and bringing out winter things. Deem winter clothes too ugly for public viewing. Sigh loudly.
3. Call father.
4. Read something decidedly un-academic. Giggle.
5. Eat ice-cream.

Sunday
1. Read Sunday paper.
2. Catch up on unread chapter of War and Peace. Read ahead if desired.
3. Grocery shopping.
4. Work on some stories. Frustratedly go to Starbucks. Drink more espresso con panna. Write. Sigh. Repeat. Return home, deem writing career hopeless/so-fucking-promising.
5. Put on blue sweatpants, white tank top and flip flops. Watch Adult Swim. Giggle.

Monday
1. Sleep.
2. Read.
3. Repeat.

Tuesday
1. Persuade Matt to go in late/skip work.
2. Go somewhere for lunch.
3. Work on catching up in 331. Start paper.
4. Law and Order: SVU. Look angrily at boyfriend. Eat garlic raw so he stays away.

Do you feel voyeuristic? You should. You now know everything that I will do for the next five days. Frightening? I think so. And I brought it on myself. Aah, damn.

I know that my whole planning my fall break is fairly ironic, given my worldview as of late. Oh well. Irony is always fun.

And on that note, I will retire for the day. I am feeling slightly more joyous today--wearing bright green shirt and socks covered with frogs. If that doesn't say eccentric/crazy aunt who summers in Florida, I don't know what does. And that's just the look I'm going for.
