soundtrak: silence

the ____ list:

- ncaa tourney update: duke lost? *chi burns brackets*
- i'm really tired. this week was not spring break for me, but i took off work to study for midterms (one which i had today; the other on tuesday). even though there was purpose to my time off, i feel like it was a wash.
- the cell midterm wasn't as bad as last year; i knew all the answers to the questions. to tell you the truth, i didn't really study at the beginning of this week. i spent sunday, monday, tuesday and wednesday on the computer, watching daytime tv (and feeling dirty about it the entire time), and not showering (that's right, i said it!) i finally got my act together on thursday; i guess it was a good thing that i went over the histology lectures two weeks ago, or i would have been majorly screwed.
- i really wanted to go see the cherry blossoms this weekend, but i have to study for said other midterm (which i really haven't started studying for; yes, i know that's bad of me). they're blooming this weekend despite all the cold weather. i wish i had somebody to go with.
- i'm watching over a cute kenyan-american girl this weekend. she's seven years old and so smart; i guess all kids are smart born in the early 2000. technology is a breeze for her, which is weird, living with adults that don't know what's going on half the time (i'm really not dissing my parents, i'm just saying... i have to explain things more than once, ya know?). actually, moms is supposed to be taking care of her, but it seems that most of the caregiving has landed in my lap (i just tucked her in... awww). did i mention that i really don't want to have kids? i keep on having these "experiences" that keep on reminding me...
- so there's this guy... but i won't get into it. i don't know if i'll ever talk about it here. all i can remember is D's hex and i figure it's all this spring fever stuff (it's not even warm yet! gah!)... i don't know, we'll see...
- there's been this idea of a summer party bouncing around my head for the past week or so. it's going to be big, it's going to be huge. i'm going to invite everybody i ever knew.. *enter maniacal laughter here*
- totally random: i keep on getting stopped by people asking me if i'm african. yes indeedy, i look 100% kenyan (well, i am...), but usually there is disappointment with the reveal of my american (and distinctly maryland, i'm told) accent. i don't speak kiswhali or various other tribal languages (i understand just enough to get by, thank you very much... if i was ever stuck in the middle of nowhere, which really has happened to me...). sue me! gah!

anyways. i'm tired. shutting off saab II (if you didn't know, that's the name of my laptop) and heading to bed. have a great weekend.

peace.
