My new favorite music video is John Mayer's "Your Body is a Wonderland." What girl doesn't want a guy playing guitar and singing original lyrics to her while she's in the bathtub? Everytime I see the video or hear the song, I swoon. Swoon I tell you.

My favorite movie of the moment is LOTR The Two Towers. I can't stop thinking about it. I'd definately see it again. I think it was fantastic. Better than the first. In fact, I have to see it again, maybe then i'll stop thinking about it (kind of like when you have a song stuck in your head, just listen to it a few times).

So i'm home for a few days. This will be the least time I've spent home on a winter break ever. I got here saturday, slept for 18 hours.. and I'm leaving Thursday night (12/26)... coming back for a day next friday (1/3), and off again till the following thursday (1/8). Then i'm home for another 10 days and that's it!

If anyone wants to reserve my time in the few days I'm around, I'd do so now!

ok, so... *

... I'm done with college.

How did that happen??? I remember very distinctly wanting to go to college, but apparently, I've been to college and finished it. I don't feel older or wiser or really capable of doing anything. If I went to a job interview and they asked me what my skills were, I'd have to say stuff like "staying up till 4am, eating half a pizza, carrying on 5 IM conversations simultaneously," and that's about it. I'm not qualified to do anything... I suppose that's why I'm staying in school.

I'm also 21 (almost)... I still feel 17 though. I've reached the final frontier... I hear it's not so good from here.

Here it is... *

...my list of things to accomplish next semester:

1 - exercise (yes yes, i say this every break.. but this time i have a plan! none of that gym stuff. It's all gonna be ghetto style - you know: crunches, situps, yoga, etc)

2 - read books for fun (on the list are the rest of the Dune books.. I think I left off in the middle of the third. Time permitting, I will also read Harry Potter)

3 - read at least one new scientific article a week (to expand my knowledge, and to not let my brain rot)

4 - get my article out to a journal (although it was supposed to go out this semester)

5 - cook! (I will learn to make elaborate dishes with long recipes and raw meat... I will also learn to make some traditional russian and jewish dishes like cholent and kugel)

6 - watch lots and lots of movies

7 - torture my friends

I already have an accomplice, Michelle, for the last 3 points.

If anything else pops up, or if you have any suggestions, I will post an updated list.

So anyone who knows me well, knows that I am hardly the innocent girl next door. My eyes have seen many-a-thing... but what I saw tonight at a frat party disturbed me very much. So there was this kind of geeky girl (I feel bad saying that..) dancing with one of the frat boys. I figured they were boyfriend-girlfriend b/c they were dancing together for a long time... at one point, I look over and I think she's spazzing out or something. She suddenly went from being a pretty good dancer to a very bad dancer. That is, until I notice that her new moves put her knee right at the guy's crotch. So she's rubbing his crotch with her knee, or her hip, or what ever other body part her "dance" position brings close to his erogenous zone, and he is, of course, enjoying it all very much.

In the course of 10 minutes it went from being something somewhat subtle and discreet to outright inappropriate! The ENTIRE dance floor was just looking at them, but they didn't seem to care. I mean this was SO GROSS! Firstly because she was kinda masturbating him in public, but mostly because of the way she was doing it, it just seemed very wrong. They took a few minute break and then got right back at it, and I swear by the end of this session, her hand was in his pants.

I really felt like I had virgin eyes when it came to tonight. It was like a trainwreck. It really disturbed me to see them, but I couldn't stop looking. So wrong!!! Arg! Needless to mention by now, they were not a couple.

I was also in a group of about 5-7 girls (depending who was where) and various groups of frat boys tried to sneak in between us on several occassions. We of course totally snubbed them, and I really didn't want to dance with any of them, but I kinda felt bad for them. It's sad that they can't find a girl to dance with at their own party in their own house. Oh well...

Considering this is my first post in a very long time, I suppose I'll give you some highlights of what my fabulous self has been up to:
- classes ended this week... thus my days as a college student draw to a close. My last final as an undergrad is this coming friday... graduation is the following friday... and then I'm done.
- that's really about all I have to report.
- my life is really pretty boring.

I will soon post my "resolutions" for the upcoming semester as a free adult!
