Yay! All that stands between me and Spring Break is one physics problem set and three classes tomorrow! Today was great because I had two classes this morning and then didn't have ANYTHING to do all afternoon. I went out for sushi for lunch, came home, burned a cd, vacuumed my room, put away my laundry, did my taxes, took a nap, AND reorganized my cds. I can't believe how productive I can be doing little chores when I actually have the time to do them! Not to mention that I've never been more thrilled to vacuum before; it just felt so good to not feel like I was putting something important off :) So, I'll spend some time on my physics set tonight and then it's just getting through the day tomorrow. I think we might hit up Scorekeeper's tomorrow night, so definitely give me a call if you're interested.
Also, I'm going with Sheila to get my eyebrows threaded tomorrow morning. Threading is a method of hair-removal practiced in South and Southeast Asia and involves the threader holding a very, very taut string and using it to skillfully lassoe individual hairs and remove them. It's rare to find a place that does it in this country (that makes it sound so sketchy!), but it's the primary hair-removal technique in India and is much more effective and accurate than waxing, in my opinion. Sheila goes to an Indian-run salon here and I've been there once before with her - it's pretty fun. I've been getting my eyebrows waxed for about 8 years now and threading certainly allows the person shaping my eyebrows to be more exact and meticulous. Sheila thinks it hurts like hell, but a seasoned veteran like myself could sit back and probably read a book while I'm getting it done :) *kidding*
Also, I just want to congratulate Josh on his successful USAC event today called "Don't Get Burned at Break." In attempts to raise awareness about the risk of skin cancer (and other general "risky" behavior characteristic of college spring breaks), he and some volunteers passed little spring break kits with free sunscreen, condoms, and information about blood-alcohol content and skin cancer in them. He also passed out Hawaiian leis and everything seemed to go smoothly, so congratulations, Josh, on a job well-done :)
I'll probably post again tonight since I'm going to try to hook up the scanner I got for Christmas that has been sitting in its box under my bed. Maybe I'll scan in some cute pics *wink, wink* Check back with me later!
