I don't know that I'm not sleeping through lab this morning because Mr. Maistrellis isn't going to be there. I feel sick and nasty, but somehow, not going to class while the tutor isn't there feels extremely wrong. _

I think the last time I drank Celestial Seasonings peppermint tea was at a restaurant in Ithaca. I was feeling coldy, runny nose coldy, and asked if they had any mint tea, and as this was Ithaca, they did in fact have mint tea, and it was nice and wonderful and good. _

I have reached a point where I actually think I like the style of my writing when I write quickly better than the style of my writing when I write slowly. When I write quickly, it gets all long and narrow, and the dangly bits at the bottom of letters like g and j and q and y and f and p look all cool. When I write slowly and deliberatly, the letters tend to be rounder, and the tails don't seem to go down as far. _

I found that I have many more throat lozengers than I thought I had, they just fell out of the bag in my backpack, which is nice. (They are wrapped up, so they aren't all nasty.) _

Why are Martin's comments tracked on BLT, but not his blog itself? _

I seem to have misplaced my blue pen, and this distresses me mightily. _

The best part about wearing stockings (other than that they keep you much warmer than you'd think they would) is how happy your legs feel when they're reexposed to the air when you take them off. _

I want real rain. (Or sun, but that's different entirely.) Rain that's hard and needs an umbrella. While I'm not generally happy with cold rain, it would be okay if it were hard and went on and on for days. ("I wanted more than anything else for it to rain for one whole day like it used to.) It would somehow be satisfying. The weather lately has been...nothing particularly. Grey. I think it's rubbing off on people's moods, and the fact that no one in this school is healthy isn't helping either. _

Wow, reading about Shayna on the page about recent Rhodes Scholars page sure managed to make me feel inadequate. Here's me, sitting here trying to decide whether or not I should ask Mr. Larsen to advice me on my paper, since Mr. David said he was really busy and wouldn't be much use until I had a draft in January, but that he'd do it. _

I had this odd dream last night where I was trying to get rid of cranberry juice, and for whatever reason, I thought pouring it into my keyboard would make sense. And then it occurred to me that my keyboard was not a sink, and that it really had been a stupid thing to to do. _

I went with Aurora and Prose this afternoon on their first yarn shopping expidition, cause they decided they wanted help. Or, well, Aurora wanetd help. Prose seemed to think she had an idea what she was doing, and even when I told her that maybe it wasn't the best idea in the world to mix widths and textures with her first project, she didn't really want to listen. _

The concert was good. I wasn't going to go, but changed my mind. It started, to everyone's surprise (and general humour) with variatoins on Twinkle Twinkle that were so way much cooler than those every Suzuki child grew up on. _

We have delayed Assassins. One young man shot another with a cap gun (a cap gun, people, it makes a banging sort of noise, but other than that it does nothing) on the Quad (stupid, granted) in front of two security guards, who confiscated the guns, threatened him with fines/expulsion, and took the gun to Andrew Ranson, who then sent Brianne and I a sort of nasty email telling us the game was in poor taste, and that Security would continue to stop people. We talked to Mr. Ranson, did Tracy and I, as Brianne was off campus and wouldn't be back soon, and he pointed out that the Board is in town, and that maybe if we told me to not use realistic looking "firearms" it would be okay, when they Board is gone. _

One of the girls in my precept (who will probably get really annoying, but that's...) told us that Medea is her favourite play. Mr. Schulman said that was interesting. Probably a sign of mental instability, said he, but interesting. And then we suggested that she probably ought to tell anyone she considers marrying this before she marries him. _

I have assumed that Suzanne. Vega was the soldier in the Queen and the Soldier. I think I mostly got that from Marlene on the Wall, and also that I generally found the soldier to be a more sympathetic character. Does anyone (other than Brianne) think she was the Queen? _

So, my translation said "she was not shameless you found, only innocent." Which I thought was interesting and whatnot, and I was wondering about the Greek, so I looked it up. And it means something more like "she was not shameless you found, but silly/frantic/foolish." Which strikes me as entirely different. _

Apparently, we are currently banging our heads against the table trying to figure out a Lobochevski proof that no other math class either has done or will be doing. (At least this year.) _
