late night

here's a joke i thought was funny:

sherlock holmes and watson were out in the wilderness camping. as night started to fall they pitched their tent and went to bed. in the middle of the night homles shook watson awake saying, 'watson, look up and tell me what you can deduce.' watson replied saying, 'well i see a sky that is incredibly vast w/ many stars. and there must be some star out there that has a planet orbiting it like our sun does. and on that planet there must be some other form of intelligence, so i deduce that we are not alone in the universe.' holmes let out a deep sigh and exclaimed, 'watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent.'

=)

shelock holmes is one of my favorite literary characters. brownie points for whoever knows watson's first name and middle initial. and who is holmes' arch nemesis? mm...this makes me want to read all his stories again. i'm currently reading a trilogy by philip pullman - his dark materials. apparently i'm behind the trend so claims etong who said she read the books a million times in 7th grade...

in a few hours, i will be taking my first final of the year. i couldn't seem to put the material down and now i'm deathly afraid of not waking up in time for my test, so i can't fall asleep. sigh. i've been going at this stuff for the past four days stopping only for the occasional run and meal. i don't think i've sat in one place for so long before. as a result, it seems that there are lots of antsys in my pantsys. can't wait for it to be over. so i can go climbing. no classes on friday as a reward. i hope people survive the after test party.

nurit is coming to dc next week! yay!

i had brunch with andrew last sunday. he grew his hair long while i cut mine. interesting how things flopped and flipped. the last time i saw him was sophomore year, when i visited him just as i was about to start my relationship with allen. heh. spending time with andrew again gave me a benchmark to see how i've changed over these past few years. definitely found out what i don't want. gained some confidence, but still looking for more.
