Gaining weight by the minute

I am torn. There is a poetry open mic night at afterhours tonight that would allow me to hang out with people that I don't really get the chance to hang out with very often. It would also expose me to the artsy culture that I absolutely LOVE.

BUT, tonight is the men's long program in figure skating. Let's face it. The olympics don't come very often. I MUST be there. I am feeling so patriotic and "rah rah" because of the olympics. I like it. I like watching and getting myself all emotionally involved. It's good. Hopefully it will be cool like the other night and we will get the big screen in the lobby. Then people drift in and out, and ask us what's going on, and we can say with enthusiasm to the exact detail, what has happened. So, the decision is made. I am watching the olypmics with Robin tonight. It's gonna be sooo good. I invited Casey to come watch with us too, but I don't think she will. Granted, I left her a message on AIM, so I have no reason to think that...but I don't know. I guess it isn't something I see her doing.

I hate it when cool stuff happens all on the same night! Grr!

I have an un-quenchable craving for candy....mainly chocolate. What causes that? I always LIKE it, but I generally can easily stay away. But right now...whoa. I just want to eat it all the time. It's gone on for a few days now. This can't be good for me. Yikes! Let is be known that Emily has virtually no will power. It is true.

We took a Calc quiz Monday which I got a perfect score on. Unfortunately, most of the rest of the class TOTALLY failed it, so today we had to retake a similar version of the same quiz. It was easy, again, and I'm sure I got at least 9 out of 10. And if I did get a point off, it was for some some lame-brain mistake I made with my algebra. Calculus is easy. Writing papers it easy. Psych is easy. I've said it before and I will say it again: School is just my thing. School is what I can do. I'm just plain good at it. I don't think that necessarily makes me smarter than the general public. It CERTAINLY doesn't make me better than anyone else (although, I used to think so...back when I was COMPLETELY unenlightened...I still am unenlightened to a strong degree). It's just that while some people are good at social endeavors, and some are athletic, I am a student. And the problem with that is that being a student isn't a great deal of help in functioning in the real world. The people that are good at social stuff, at practical stuff, at leadership stuff definitely have it a lot better than me, the girl who thinks Calculus is easy. They envy me and I envy them. Gotta hate being human sometimes, I guess.

Ugh, looking at my trash can and seeing all of that candy wrapper garbage is disgusting.

...and yet I don't stop :-P

Notice that I didn't mention V day? That's because it doesn't matter to me at all. And I'm not saying that because I'm bitter about it. I just don't see the relevance of a hallmark holiday. I neither hate it nor like it. Today, it is just an easy way to get Candy. Hehehehe :-)
