Classes are over! Exciting news. Well, not really. While I won't miss Biochemistry and Genetics, I will miss French and Shakespeare, but that's the way of things. C'est la vie. On Friday, there was a huge sale in the bookstore (which sells all the textbooks on campus - hence the name "bookstore," but also sells a ton of NC State memorabilia, school supplies, and also has a mini bookstore - with fiction and reference books) - 40% off most everything. So, I went just after they opened their doors - it was a madhouse! I could barely breathe trying to get through the mob of people carrying NCSU sweatshirts, blankets, socks, pants, hats, and God knows what else. Thankfully, I had only one goal in mind - that tiny little bookstore in the back. After twenty minutes of browsing, and an hour of waiting in line, I bought four books - A Man of My Words by Richard Lederer, A Room with A View by E.M. Forster, Selected Poems including Evangeline by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and a book containing 37 of Sherlock Homes' mysteries including the entire The Hound of The Baskervilles novel by Sir Arthor Conan Doyle. It was a good haul.

Later that night, Rebecca, Jacob, and I went over to Thomas's in Selma. There, we played poker for a few hours (I was out after the first hour), then we played table tennis for about ten minutes. Then we played Taboo for a while (the girls beat the boys by one point). Then we played a new edition of Cranium (I don't want to talk about how badly the boys beat us), and then we played Scattergories for nine rounds, before we three headed back to campus. We left just after 2:00AM, and in the time that we were there, I consumed one jack n' coke, two jello shots, one peach vodka sour, and one hawaiian punch-ruby red vodka cocktail. Thomas, on the other hand, consumed nineteen jello shots, two Guinnesses, and who knows what else. I learned that I can drink anything as long as it's got some sour mix in it - that can cover up the taste of any alcohol. Anyway, come the morning (well, noon, if you must know) and I wasn't the least bit hungover. Go figure. And now, for a weekend of hallmark movies, reading, and some studying!
