nothing in particular

argh. i can't have a coherent thought to save my life. so...a few observations on a few unrelated matters.

• yesterday choir superlatives for the year were given out. i got two of them...neither of which are probably a surprise to any of you who know me. i was most likely to start a professional rock band...and most likely to be hung over the morning after the choir overnight trip. [for the record, i was really hung over on that trip...it's a bad, bad, horrific idea to play "i never" in a roomful of people younger than you are. trust me on this one.] there was also a rather amusing juxtaposition of awards. some people apparently thought it would be funny to award "most likely to come to practice and not sing" to the entire alto section...and then the alto section also won the award for best attendance this year. [for the record, it's not true that we don't sing! we do sing! and well, if i may say so myself! :) ]
• the legal research paper due friday is not going well...at all. i just can't motivate myself to work on it. it means i'll be up most of the night tomorrow working on it, since it's due friday afternoon at 5...but hopefully once i start feeling some time pressure on it i'll be able to get some good work in. let's hope so...because my entire grade for this class depends on this one paper. not that i'm afraid of failing as long as i turn something in...but i have forty-nine hours to eventually make fifteen pages about How To Research Some Topic Of My Choosing appear. i've chosen a topic and done some very cursory research...but that's about as far as i've gotten, because i really don't care yet.
• the linux experiment is going well. so far, i've been spending far more time screwing around with ubuntu than i have spent studying for my finals. this is probably not the right thing for me to be doing, but it's far more fun. even running through wubi, and not installed in its own partition, it runs faster than windows xp--and i can hang onto a wireless connection at school far better from there than i ever could from windows. i can't wait for finals to be over...methinks when finals are over, i will turn this into a dedicated linux box. i'll need windows to take the bar from, but since i'll have to get a new computer for that anyway [since i don't trust taking the bar on this one...], these finals will be the last time i'll really need windows on this thing.

okay, methinks it's time to rinse the blue dye [yes, my hair's blue again] out of my hair, and then maybe take a nap, 'cause i r tired.
