in the box

Last night the Academic Bowl competied, and we got first place! Except we were the only Class-I school there, so we were a shoe in. Compared to the other Class-I schools it was more like 48th in science, 24th in social studies (and two of the questions we got wrong I knew, dammit!) 17th in Interdciplinary and Math 50th in English, and 30th in Fine Arts.

And I no longer have to study Imperial Russia, which has me thrilled to pieces. Next year is "the Progressive Era" in the US and I really hope that it's better than Russia. Between the books on the Czars and The Proud Tower... it made me want to commit czarcide myself. And since I like the explosive part, I'm half there already!

Moving out of the 17th to 20th centuries, I just looked at the weather for this weekend in Chicago. -_-o Since Jasper is 6 hours south, it's going to be somthing like 10 to 20 degres colder which means there's going to be people not dressed at all for the weather.

And did I mention the rain? And how much they scare me when they say SNOW?!

packing break

I suppose the part I dislike the most about packing is figuring out which books to take. Am I going to be in the mood for historical fiction? Do I want to read an old favorite or somthing I havn't read in a while? Why do I have so many books with cracktastic plots?

( Spoliers )

Maybe I should take the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy along with me, I've never read the fourth book. I've read all the others, but someone either lost or stole the library's copy. Or do that translation of "Monster Movie." (How do you show the tittles of fanfiction?)
