Funny story. I slept through Linear Algebra by accident this morning, woken up by my roommate at 9:50, when my class was at 9. Oops. So I set off for my second class, at 10:30, but stopped by my first class to hand in my homework first. My teacher laughed, and asked if I wanted to sit in on the second section. I said I couldn't because I had a class. So I went upstairs, and I saw a sign on the door that said class had been canceled! So I went back downstairs and sat in on the second section of Linear Algebra. SO, in a nutshell, I didn't miss any classes, and I got an extra hour of sleep. Score!

Then I watched BSG with Sara and Michelle (finally! it's been a while) and then we just hung out and were silly and girly with Fei. It was refreshing and fun and we haven't done that in far too long.

( A few spoilers for BSG 1x09... )

Tomorrow, I'm off to Boston for the weekend for a hunger conference with Oxfam. So I won't be around. I'll miss you all! *hugs*

Well, Sara (zeispunim) is THIS awesome. *stretches arms out reeeeeally far* Last night, I asked her to do a character sketch of me. It was a very sudden request, unthought out, springing from her discussing other ones she had written or something like that. I didn't stop to think about how crazy insecure I am, and about how there are certain things about me I avoid facing for a reason. I didn't think much of it, even when she agreed, except maybe a little bit, later, when I called her and she and Michelle laughed because they had just been talking about my character sketch! Eek. Must I reiterate, terribly insecure? Interestingly enough, that's one thing Sara didn't address in the piece - maybe it's something she doesn't really know about me (though I'm not sure how she could avoid it) or maybe she was just trying to be nice, gloss me over. Which, I have to admit, I'm grateful for, because I was all prepared to read it and then want to curl up in a hole and die because... I'm not a fan of myself. I was afraid it would put into harsh black and white things that have nagged at me forever and make me annoyed with myself on good days, want to put a bullet to myself on bad days.

But instead, it made me go "That's so true!" and then "Awwwww."

So, without further ado, I present Sara's amazing insightfulness into the silly conundrum that is... me.

I love you, Sara. *hugs*
