Backup Goodness

December 1, 2009 - 19:36

I'm going through with my big backup plan and in doing so ran across a bunch of old email from my senior year at UMD shortly before moving to Spain with @robodc. Here's the summary I sent my mom of my last week of college. I was obviously highly caffeinated and pardon the use of the "R" word... I was young.

I will have several boxes of stuff and pillows and crap like that for you and dad to throw in back-seats.
The last week was absolutely retarded, here's a rundown:
Last time you talked to me was on Mother's day when I was leaving for work so...

  • Sunday, May 12th - worked from 6pm-2am.
  • Monday, May 13th - Thought I was receiving a Linguistics take home exam, instead received that and an extra homework assignment due on Wednesday. Worked from 6pm-2am
  • Tuesday, May 13th - Handed in an eight page paper for Urban Studies, had last philosophy class. Worked from 6pm-2am.
  • Wednesday, May 14th ("Study Day") - Completed and handed in Linguistics assignment by 4:02pm, began studying for History final on Thursday morning. Ended up at library with discman, batteries and CDs, but forgot bring headphones. Damn!
  • Thursday, May 15th - Took History exam at 8am after sleeping for almost a whole hour! Began working on Linguistics take-home final and studying for Urban Studies final on Friday morning.
  • Friday, May 16th - Took Urban Studies final at 10:30am. Rosanna's last day at work (she leaves for spain in six days!) she was shat on by a bird through her car window (only slightly cracked). on the way to the office.Friday night went to Orioles vs. Devil Rays game at Camden yards, which got rained out in the top of the sixth inning. Upon arriving home began studying for Philosophy final on Saturday morning. Unfortunately fell asleep and woke up two hours before the exam.
  • Saturday, May 17th - Took Philosophy final at 10:30am after studying for almost an hour and a half. It went surprisingly well. Saturday night went out for a beer with Kyle and Rosanna, but had to go home by 11:30 because of a certain 10k run at 8:30am Sunday morning that a certain girl named Rosanna "accidentally" signed me up for.
  • Sunday, May 18th - Woke up at 7:15am, drove to stupid race, put on stupid shirt, ran 6.2 stupid miles. It was actually a lot of fun and I was surprised that I didn't need to walk or anything. The race was organized to benefit the area around Capitol Hill and I finished with at time of an hour and five minutes, Rosanna was only half a step behind. Sunday afternoon went to a barbeque at Rosanna's boss' house in Frederick, MD. Got home and fell asleep.
  • Today, May 19th - Woke up at 9am, finished Linguistics take-home final to hand in by noon. And that's about it.

It's been a long week. My legs are so sore I can't jump in the air to celebrate being finished and I can't walk up or down stairs to go drink at a non-street level bar (like Cheers). I have work tonight too.

I like how I separated "pillows" and "crap" from the "stuff" in the first sentence. V. important.
