everything happens at once

Pursuant to previous post: Oh! Aha. Hmm. Your comments are all both edifying and gracious, and I will have to read them again and think about this for a while. Many points that people made make a lot of sense.

I suspect that I have been greatly spoiled in the point of independent bookstores, growing up in Minneapolis (where there are a lot of independents, several of which I live near for various values of near) and then coming to college (where there is a pretty nice independent bookstore right across the street).

Brain a bit scattered from midterms et cetera. Yesterday I skived off studying for an hour and a half after dinner, was an accomplice to filching a tray from the campus center, and went sledding on the big hill behind one of the dormitories. Today it rained, and I did a presentation and wrote a midterm.

Tomorrow they claim it will snow again, and maybe I will have collected enough bits of brain to work on the paper, essay, novel critiques that are due next week. And, oh, decide if I'm going to apply for that physics REU that takes freshman that I found online today and, if so, politely and awkwardly approach my professors after class to see if they will write me recommendations. Hurray.

And, oh damn, I forgot to add:

yay! for sledding! best study break ever!

And also...hmmm...maybe a few of my former dorms are in need of a donation in the form of a sled. Not that pilfered kitchen trays don't work nicely as well. :)

One of the dorms at my college has a purple sled in the ceiling. (or so they say.) I did see a purple sled in the basement of that very same dorm so maybe...

I ought to go traying one of these days. Preferably before the snow melts.

The women of Mount Holyoke would be very grateful indeed! Blanchard is the only place that has trays at all any more--as a friend of mine said, it is because of people like me that they stopped having them in other halls. So, um. We would appreciate that. Lots.

(Although, I will admit, there is a certain joy in stealing a tray and Making It Work Dammit.)
