I'm never drinking tea again.
My laptop is currently out of order until either:
A) The keys dry out and begin working properly,
B) I get an external keyboard,
C) I get a new computer.
Yeah, sucks. And its all because of that stupid kid who was sitting next to me in bio and had to knock my tea into me, thus burning me and making me splash my comp. Damn him.
My internet doesn't work either, and I'm not really sure why.
Which of course is great because finals start like two days from now...

Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want
I'll tell you what I want what I really really want.
I really really want to hear about Paris in the next 24 hours.
Zigga-Zag Ahhhh.

Back To Life... Back To Reality
Reflections on ChoMUN XI:
-The Holiday Inn at Merchandise Mart sucks... and they probably hate us as well. Not only did the maids wake us up at 7:30 everyone morning by knocking and barging into our room (seriously, do not disturb sign and all), they also refused to clean our committee room, which ended in our staff having to feel the wrath of an angry Secretariat after we asked repeatedly to get it done. On the other hand we did demand a corkscrew from them (and refused to pay the $2.75 service charge), we ordered more than our share of pillows from the pillow menu (but seriously, the U-shaped neck pillows were not ok), and we decided to order room service right when they were closing.
-College MUN kids are nerds. Seriously, they were more into moving their troops and preparing to attack Japan than they were about finding out who got the concubine pregnant. Bitch please.
-The Pearl Concubine told Greg Kamstra (who was playing the Emporer) that she was caring his child.... woahhh, awkard.
-Indian food is too over priced, and not large enough in quantity. On the other hand, Jamba Juice is amazing, and Hyde Park needs one STAT.
-Wet noodles are harder to break than dry ones.
-After a locust-cano erupted in Japan, China was asked to provide humanitarian aid in return for pokemon cards. This is completely acceptable.
-I'm probably going to fail all of my finals because I am pretty much asleep right now, and I've got hours and hours of homework to do (I'm also blogging). Oh well.
-Getting attacked by jumping vampires IS cool. Seriously. Kinda weird, but ultimately very cool.
-I can chew through metal bars... and did so to escape the Tower of London.
-My favorite quote from the entire weekend was from potential emporer Pulun as he was being questioned by the committee in regards to his possible ascension to the throne after the reigning emporer passed away. He was asked what his opinions were regarding the Boxer Rebellion. His response? "I support the sport, for sure."
-I guess I had a pretty good weekend. I'm just glad that China did not collapse and that unlike the Generalissimo of the Yangtze, I do not have crabs.

ChoMUN: The Update
So things are going really good/fun. I don't have much to say... and technically I can't in case I leak a crisis or something to the internets. And then Sue and Bonnie's ghosts would show up and the Grand MUNUC Accusations of last year would recommence.
But anyways, there is a really sweet blog documenting whats been going on in the Crisis room. I know I've got a picture in there somewhere....

See you Sunday!

1. As a die hard Wisconsin Badgers fan I am unbelievably excited that they have earned at least a share of the conference title. If they win Saturday it's theirs outright. I don't really understand how the team managed to pull this off this year because they have NO good players, but I'm very proud. I guess a team full of decent players means something in college basketball? Not really sure. I do know that I am pissed off that the Big Ten Tournament moved to Indianapolis... I had so much fun at it last year, it would have been great to go again.
2. I'm such a bitch. Let's just say I said "not you" to a girl's face when she answered her door and asked me who I was looking for. I didn't know how else to respond! I didn't actually know the name of the girl I was looking for, and Anton, who did know her name, had peaced out down the hall. So basically I'm going to have to avoid this girl for awhile. I could and should have apologized... but I think I've let this go for too long that it would be REALLY awkward. Plus, I never see her anywhere... So yeah, one quarter and two weeks of avoiding a first year, sounds fun?
3. I've started compiling a list in my head of all the things I'm going to buy/do when I make more money then both my parents combined. Maybe I'll share it sometime? Let's just say jetskis are DEFINITELY on it.
4. I actually had something semi-important to write about it, which is unfortunate because it's obviously not coming out at all. I think that's the story of my life. Seriously I just spout out random stories and bits of information, and never say anything really important. Like today I explained to Meredyth the four German panzer divisions during World War Two and why they were stupid and didn't conquer the Soviet Union. Cool stuff, I know, but not really important to the here and now. At least I didn't talk about revolving organs (because my brain DOES revolve) or eating playground materials (aka wood), things I've been known to do in the past.
5. Oh, I know. I'm going to a Model UN for the next four days. We are simulating the Cabinet of Empress Cixi of China (circa 1895). It should be pretty good. I would tell you our plans for the cabinet but then I would be eaten alive by the MUN kids at our school who think that secrecy is like god or something. Seriously.

UCI vs. ASO: Showdown?
I'm not going to bore the internet with babble about cycling. But seriously, everyone in the world should read this letter. It was sent out by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) to riders who are currently signed up to race in Paris-Nice next week. This event is hosted by the Amaury Sports Organization (ASO) who also heads the Tour de France. Basically the two organizations hate each other? And its this crazy power struggle right now... but anyways, read this:
http://assets.rug.be/img_art/site/images/31413BE4-90E5-4751-ACF5-BEA31F72280A.pdf
Um, whoah? UCI are you seriously going to do that. Because if you are... props. But if you are using this as an empty threat, kinda lame. And ASO you better get over yourself or you are going to be SCREWED when the Tour isn't run this year.
Ok, no more cycling talk this week.

Fake Spring
I hate fake spring. For the obvious reasons of course... mainly its not real spring, so its just a massive mind-fuck.
Evidence of spring-like happenings:
-Temperature=50+ degrees
-It is sunny
-I was outside in shorts and was not cold
-I heard birds
-The snow is melting
-I SAW GUYS ON HARLEYS (ultimate sign of spring)
Evidence of actual fake-spring:
-It is probably going to snow tomorrow
-The high for Wednesday is like 20 degrees
-We are in Chicago... spring doesn't really happen here, it just jumps for Winter to Summer
-The birds I heard were probably escaping south
Gah, I hate this fake spring thing that happens every year. I swear if it is 60 and sunny during finals in two weeks, I'm gonna hit a bitch (aka mother nature).
