anndd we're back

it's been so long since i last blogged (haha i almost wrote globbed) but it doesn't seem that way to me. Well, the first few weeks of the semester have been busy and tiring and full of random fun but also beaucoup de frustration. highlights:
- Celesteypoo turned 21!!! We went out to dinner at Mezze aka where the HEAVENLY food comes from
        spinach fritters, greek salad, out of control beet salad with oranges and walnuts, marinated feta cheese, fresh humus and babaganough and pita of course and more but who can remember the details when they are in a food-induced state of euphoria? i want to take my parents and noosh there when they come for my graduation because mediterranean food is our favorite and we won't have the whole meat-eater v. vegetarian tapas issue, except they will eat fish.
- C, A and I have begun dressing in theme every day so we wear things in our warddrobes we normally don't wear and also to combat the monotony that is the school day. So far we've been equestrian, zoological, Norse/viking, soft, russian (but like old country/ fur hat russian), and oceanic. A often wins ipso facto because her warddrobe is ginormous and she has a knack for theme costumes. I'm glad though because without these themes or any other direct encouragement to dress cute i tend to fall into my pattern of a grey shirt (why is half my warddrobe grey???), jeans and my caramel colored cardigan.
- things i've cooked: spinach-zucchini-feta patties, ginger blueberry clafoutis, mac-n-cheese-n-squash. lots of yumminess. and fattiness because CHEESE. i should start dieting/eating less shit soon so i can get in swim suit shape and also so i can snag a fella!
-classes: they're ok. la france contemporaine- ehhh kinda stupid and all things i already know, but ham and renee are in the class with me so that's fun. the radiator melted my shoe last week. medieval culture- so early so early so early, feudalism. poetics and politics of sex- too much reading for my sanity's sake, interesting discussions, hermaphrodites v androgynes. who owns culture- way too much reading, interesting guest lecture today, prof loves to give me the death stare when i come in 20 seconds late or drink coffee in class. doesn't she know who i am? ----> girl with coffee mug perpetually attached to right hand. anthropology and fiction- interesting reading, only had this class once so far, so we shall see how discussion/workshopping goes.
- getting closer to opening etsy shop. weeooooo!
- sleeping a bit more....
- drunken weekends
- picked up a shift at the circ desk since i didn't get as many hours as i wanted at av, interesting change, but involves more real work and less sitting at a desk and doing homework while people think you're hard at work as a student librarian.
- sooooo many textbooks
- dulce de leche amanda brought back from argentina = sex in a jar. speaking of sex, there are ZERO attractive/nice/friendly guys anywhere. got flirted with at av one day by a boy who was clearly a fresher. no thanks, 18 year old, take your little self elsewhere. got eyed by a fellow library worker who was fairly cute and wearing thick-framed glasses (ie sarah magnets) but couldn't tell if it was because a) he thought i was cute b) he didn't know who i was since i don't normally work circ and he was wondering who the new person was, or c) i had like spinach in my teeth or coffee in my hair or writing on my face. all of these things are not rare occurances.
- update complete!!!! also lemme just say this, ITS COLD AS A FUCKING ANTARCTIC WIND TUNNEL. frozen solid inside an ice tornado every time i go outside.
