someone arrest that shark!

this is the story about a shark serial killer. read it ok.

in other news: did you know that in new york it is illegal to have sexual relations with someone you know you are related to, even by marriage. yep. you should read this article its pretty interesting. in case you don't have time this is the best part anyway: "According to court records, the daughter has a tattoo reading "Daddy's Girl" on her behind."

picture dayyyy

you might be wondering what it looks like to stay up all night and do a case challenge. this is us at 2am at the last challenge, 5 hrs away from game time. the old guy is our communication coach who stopped by to "help" but i think you can tell from alex's face that we all wanted to kill him.

oh yeah!

i remember actually. it was about my neighbors.

the grundles.

ok actually i don't know their names but they are really grundley if you know what i mean. the walls here are paper thin and months ago when i used to be home sometimes i would listen to music and mrs. grundle would knock on the wall in anger. my speakers aren't even that loud, so i got a little mad about it. lately it appears that the boyfriend, mr. grundle, if you will, has moved in. this is a new advancement, but it seems to be keeping mrs. grundle less grumpy, and the knocking on my wall has reduced severely. phantastic.

now that i am home and now that there is a mr. grundle i have realized that if i sit on my couch in silence i can hear every word of every conversation that goes on in their apartment. i don't think this would be that exciting if i had normal neighbors, but over the past few days i have learned a lot about the grundles that makes me believe they are really really weird. one day for example they were singing christmas carols to each other and correcting each others' pitch. and now that i know how much fun it is to find out weird things about them its really hard not to listen. but i know thats creepy so im working on it.

i hate them.

bye.

ohmigosh

i am so tired. let's start there.

this weekend has been insanely fun. it started with a daytime pub crawl and some ugly xmas sweaters, followed by several intense games of skeeball, followed by a potluck xmas dinner followed by a long night of dancing and shenanigan making. the result is that i have a skinned knee, my shoes are all danced out, and there are several unexplained gaps in my memory.

lets not talk about it.

unfortunately, i have one last bit of work to tie up and after 3 days of phun its so hard to concentrate on anything besides sitting on the couch or watching mtv or eating. and even those are hard sometimes.

in other news: there was definitely a reason i was writing this blog but now i can't remember. this is embarrassing.
i gotta go.

results november!

phew i almost forgot.

2 case competitions + 2 weekends in a row=
36 straight hours awake
only 1 caffeinated bevvie per all nighter
followed by 6 straight hrs of drinking and appetizering
followed by 15 straight hrs of sleep.

tantalizing experiment.

if i have learned one most important lesson in business school it is that with careful training, the body can do amazingly impossible things.

byee

what if

instead of eating dinner i only eat donuts.

also.

lately i have been noticing an abundance of bugs the size of baby carrots.
sup with that?!

also.

next time we get together lets talk about libertarians. i think i should hate them but every one i meet i love!

also.

its a real shame i can't study with music because when i remember to try and enjoy life on earth and i put some music on everything is instantly at least 3 times better.

also.

every time i try to cancel xm they convince me to buy 6 more months for only $18 total. its a great deal/scam. but this time i decided i really don't have $18 to spare; i am going bankrupt. so when i tried to cancel today, and refused the $18 promo, this time they offered me 2 free months! fools! i'm never falling for the promo again!

also.

i think i missed blogging a lot. sorry about that. life is dragging me around by the ponytail.

speaking of ponies
i think i am going to try to sneak out to piperponypants' new home to see how she is doing.
i don't think i'm welcome but lately i am learning in business school that it is ok to be sneaky as long as you are quiet about it.

so here's a pic of my skewl at night.
its really blurry but you'll probably like it anyway.

good talk. see you thursday. in thanksgiving. in my belly. in maryland.

bye.

me so hungry.

recently my sister went to alaska but she didn't see any bears. that's because they all moved to russia to eat human corpses.

read this.

i'm in love!

here's what happens.
this part is important.
go to the yogurt spot.
not some other yogurt place.
just the yogurt spot.
other tart yogurt is gross.
self serve yourself all the tart yogurt you can imagine.
toss in some chocolate chips, strawberries and of course some chocolate sprinkles
fall in love.

goodnight husband
goodnight wife

goodnight this tart yogurt shit will rock your life.

my professor told us eleanor roosevelt is a lesbian.

not sure what to do with this information.

but making a blog about it seemed appropriate.

experiment november

november is coming and i have been so busy worrying about school i forgot to leave time for experiments. experiments are the spice of life. so back by popular demand i will be performing some experiments in november.

here is what we have to look forward to.

experiment 1: participate in 2 case competitions, one weekend after another.
case competitions, if you don't know, entail 24 hours of near death experiences. you get a case at 7pm, work with a team, stay up the entire night solving the problem of the case, then present it at 7am the next day. if you advance to finals it is kind of awesome because the top 3 teams get money prizes (out of the 4 that go to finals), however it is also kind of horrible because that means that you have to stay awake till 4pm (to go to finals) instead of being able to go to sleep by noon and then when you end up finishing fourth after all that you kind of want to cry/die/eat everything in sight. i did one last weekend and i am still recovering. can't wait to find out what this feels like times two.

experiment 2:stay up all night two weekends in a row...without caffeine. for the last case competition i had 4 energy drinks, 2 cups of coffee, a diet coke, and 1 breakfast taco within the last 12 hours of my marathon. i felt like my heart was pounding out of my chest during my second presentation but i thought that was mostly nerves. someone later told me it is most likely from too much caffeine. so i'm going to cut that evil little monkey out of my life again.

















experiment 3: visit home for the first time ever. i think i am the only one that has never lived far enough away from home to visit for thanksgiving and then go back to life. yum turkey stuffing barkley.

results november. coming soon.

homie, don't go there

today's quote from my econ professor

bye.
