Good Vibrations

I'm actually feeling pretty good today. I thought I was coming down with another cold (bleah!) earlier, but it seems to be better now. Mallory and I went swimming, my French class was non-crazy-making for once, and things seem to be going swimmingly. See what just ignoring your work can do for you? I'm getting a bit behind, I think, but it's not too bad yet. I mostly have a backlog of notes to type up.

The Glen Gang is here to watch The Daily Show, as is the ritual of Monday to Thursday nights. They are quite the amusing bunch. It strikes me that I seem to be making the same kind of friends here as I have at home: mostly a bit preppy, mostly female, mostly kvetchingly ironic.(Kvetchingly may not be a word, but it oughta!)

Christmas preparations are in full swing. Indra and I have lights for our room now, and looking out across the Fishbowl I can see that a lot of other rooms have them, too. Katherine has flashing icicle lights for her room -- amusing to look at, but if she and Robyn suddenly have seizures, we will know why. Some folks have gone all-out and bought actual Christmas trees for their rooms. I don't know how they manage to live in among the branches (our rooms are not that big, and some of these trees are considerable), but I salute their superior levels of holiday cheer.

The cross-country club starts practice Monday. Whee!
