| Jon's cruel..but he has a point. I lied, although unintentionally, so sorry folks. Things have been hectic, both in a good and bad way, so on that note, let's see what's new:
-Valentine's Day was amazing. I'd love to just leave it there, but I think I owe you guys a little bit more of detail than that. Considering that this was the first year I ever had a valentine, I decided to make it special with a brilliant (hey, i'm allowed to compliment myself) 3 part plan.
Part A- The night before Valentine's Day (Februrary 13th), I had a bunch of pre-cut hearts at my disposal (not saying how I got them...although if you're clever you can figure it out), and I basically wrote a bunch of notes on them, mixing in personal quotes with quotes from famous people on the subject of love. I snuck into Alexis's building, and despite the fact that her door was like a quarter ajar, I managed to stick the hearts on the door, and quickly get out of dodge before I was caught red-handed. (Hah, that's sorta a pun.) Basically, I had a message from her later that night that went "WOW! WOW!" As I had written on some of the hearts on her door, I was just getting started.
Part 2- Nothing too fancy, I had several small gifts for Alexis, and before we grabbed lunch at the luxurious Newing Dining Hall (eh...it worked), we exchanged gifts. I had a cute Ladybug pillow (ask Jon, he knows the cuteness of it), some chocolate, and a card. In return, I got a stuffed dog that's right in front of me as I type this (think we named him Dillon), with a picture of the two of us around his neck. Further more, I got a bunch of candy, and a card. But alas, the best part was to come...
Part III- Now, I haven't mentioned this, but I wore a suit during the entire course of Valentine's Day. I wasn't trying to be Don Juan, it was just the product of an interview I had that morning, and decided I would keep up the look. Needless to say, I had a night class, but once I got out, Alexis (who decided to dress up too, very nicely I may add  ) and I took a taxi over Number 5 Restaurant, which in case you don't know, is probably Binghamton's nicest restaurant. The restaurant itself would have been nice, but I had one more gift...a necklace I had bought months earlier, that I had very nicely gift wrapped, and is just nice in general. (I'm not going to go into specifics on the necklace..it's nice, I'll leave it at that.) Alexis was so overwhelmed by the gift that she hugged me frantically, lost her appetite, hugged me again, went to the bathroom, hugged me again, then asked her food to go, took some pictures with the necklace, hugged me again, and then we took a taxi back to campus.
Overall, a perfect Valentine's Day. Thank you Alexis for being a wonderful girlfriend. (In case she reads this...which to be honest, I have no idea if she does.)
-In other news, I joined karate. Something I wanted to do my entire life, and I did it in the blink of an eye. I'm learning a lot, and my instructor says that I am doing an excellent job picking things up. Maybe I'll end up being the next Chuck Norris.
-I'm flat out disappointed in the latest Family Guy outings. Just a shame to see a once-great show plummet due to mediocrity.
-On the other hand, The Boondocks is f'n superb. I first watched it while down in Florida, and in the month or so since I've been back, have downloaded and watched every episode (only about 13 have been shown so far.) It is just an excellently portrayed, very intelligent show that with a diverse cast, and razor sharp humor, is just plain fantastic. It also helps that I've been a huge fan of the Boondocks comic strip for years now.
-Classes are going well, I have a Physics test tomorrow (this right here is one of my breaks), Evolution & Behavior on Tuesday, partial paper for Perception Lab due Thursday, and Judaic Studies on Thursday. With the exception of tomorrow's test, this really isn't so bad.
-The MCAT concerns me. Besides my reference to it in my last entry, the practice tests from Kaplan haven't been too encouraging. Once this week's over, I'm kicking it into overdrive. I mean it. (Don't worry, I'll still have entries. Just saying.)
-On a request, I wound up downloading almost the entire series span of Grey's Anatomy. This means I am going to start watching the show really soon. At least, I hope so. (Side Note: I have a tough time watching stuff on my computer, just because I'm compelled to do so much other stuff. Bah.)
That should hold over you for a bit....back here soon enough. |
