Dostoevsky and Voltaire... I've had enough of you dudes.

So I just spent a pleasant 1.5 hours sitting in the cafe around the corner reading Candide and The Grand Inquisitor cover to cover, looking for quotes and framing my paper. My copy of Candide has a handful of funky lineart illustrations that, when you look closely, are either really gory or pushing the limits of soft porn. Or are both... "gorn" I guess.

I decided to cut my human evolution class, as the prof. just reads straight out of her powerpoint and I can easily get the notes from someone else. We're right in the middle of a really boring unit about monkeys... sorry, primates. No disrespect. Yawn. Plus, I enjoy reading the textbook waay more than I enjoy sitting in that big ass lecture hall. Textbook has prrrretty pictures. Lecture hall has prof. going way too quickly through her ppt.s, with the sound of annoyingcollegestudents bleeding in through the auditorium doors.

It's 4:07 pm and all I have to do is churn out that paper and study for orgo. Thank god I mistakenly thought the loooong ap calc packet was due today, otherwise I wouldn't have done it and would now be facing a bleaak night. I'm fairly relaxed.

As much as I really enjoyed Candide and GI (masochist me), I wouldn't recommend reading them both in one sitting. Candide was a wacky gorefest and I found the the Grand Inquisitor has disturbingly valid points... I agree with some of them. I'm tired of reading.

Sadly I had to leave what was probably the best seat in that place (and it's really hard to find a seat in there!) because I had to run some errands for my mom. Now I'm printing out some brief story synopses for Candide and GI while picking up my orgo and calc textbooks. I'm going back to the cafe because I cannot not not concentrate at home, not while it's sweltering. I'm banned from turning the AC on... No spot at home is more comfortable than that mad cushy seat in the cafe...

Well, I'm logging off before my computer spazzes out from the heat in this fiberglass infested attic. My goal is to finish my paper AND finish studying for my orgo quiz by 10 tonight. I might actually do it.

God... I am so ready for college.

P.S.

To all the random colleges emailing me with assurances that it's not too late to apply: if it's april of my senior year, do you really think the fact that I can "joke about Tolstoy at 1am" at your hallowed institution will compell me to apply? Stop spamming my inbox.
