For those of you with mediocre expectations for your summer employment, is NH the place for you! Here's an excerpt from a classified ad from today's paper for a summer lawn care service:

"Essential qualifications include possession of a valid state driver's license with an age of 21, an average driving record and the ability to pass a drug screen and physical."

I know they've set the bar high, but I have faith that somewhere out there I have some friends who just might be qualified enough for this position.

It's the day before a long hard test, so you know what that means...time to procrastinate by updating my webblog!

Spring break starts tomorrow after classes. And for those of you not familiar with GCC vocabulary, "spring break" = a 4 day weekend wherein students may catch up on the piles of homework assigned to them, and is in no way associated with Cancun, Florida, or anything warm (aside from the heat radiated from an overworked mind); also not to be confused with our 12 day break in the actual spring that falls during the week of Easter. So now that that's all cleared up...

I'm staying here for spring break which is both wonderful and ultimate suckiness all at once. I will have access to a TV and a plethora of movies, as well as half a dozen friends to hang out with. But the fact that we "privileged few" remain on campus while the rest are kicked off is just not enough excitement for this nerd. Freshman year during fall break a couple friends and I tried to break into our dorm attic to check out what was inside, but didn't succeed. And Emily and I have already searched our ceiling tiles for old vodka bottles (no luck).

So it's audience participation time! What exciting, adventurous, stupid, or silly activities should I (and possibly my unsuspecting friends) attempt this break? I'll probably be bored enough to keep you posted on what I'm doing, and maybe if your idea is creative enough I'll bake you cookies. Maybe.

I have not updated in over two months. I am scatterbrained and busy, a bad combination for webblogers. And the longer I waited, the more I dreaded posting, because you all would be expecting something more and more spectacular as the suspense grew. So this next post was automatically going to be disappointing. But here I am, posting anyways, and reminding you that you shouldn't complain too much, because the quality of even the best news/entertainment sources has gone down the drain.
