Mudd has everything I need: a place for eating, a place for socializing, a place for studying, and a place to sleep. I wish I could just move in here.

So I never wrote about how awesome the Mountain Goats concert was two weeks ago. Well, it was awesome. I didn't know any of the music ahead of time and I still thought it was one of the best shows I've ever seen, so that's saying something. Also John Darnielle has the same speech patterns as my Uncle John, so that was pretty weird. Here's a short sample, one of the only ones I could find on Youtube (towards the end of the video you can see a guy in a hat on the left right up next to the stage, and if the person filming this had turned his or her hand like a millimeter more to the left you could've seen me... alas):



I sat in on Henry and Ben's radio show the other night, which was really bizarre and fun. They let me read a PSA, so at some point around 2:45 in the morning last Thursday, I was on the radio talking about breast cancer! I know I know, my life is devastatingly glamorous. Anyway, you too can listen to WOBC via the internet and iTunes! Technology! Their show — "The Score", which is a show of film scores, funnily enough — is on the air between 2 and 3 AM Thursday mornings, or really late Wednesday nights if you're an insomniac college student. And if you're already up that early/late, you might as well stay tuned for Virginia's show — "But It's a School Night!" — from 3 to 4 AM. AND, if you don't want to go through the trouble of calling a phone number to request a song, you can IM the DJs at WOBC DJ. Wow okay I'm done being an advertisement for WOBC now.

Our commencement speakers have been chosen! Yay!

I've been progressing with honors pretty well... all I have to do is tackle an intro and a conclusion, and do all the revising/citations that go along with this nonsense. As much as I'm dreading next Friday, I'm also relieved that the end is near. Here is the rest of my work for the year:

4/16: ed psych exam
4/23: ed psych presentation
4/24: honors project
4/27-5/2: honors defense
5/1: last day of SITES
5/7: ed psych paper (5 pages) due

And that's it! It's pretty scary that we're coming to the end of the year so quickly, but I'll be very happy when my work is done. Verrrry happy.

Last night I was in the library nonstop (with a two-hour break for a nap/dinner) between 12:30 pm and 12:30 am. Today I've been here since 1:00 pm, I'll probably have a 3 hour break for dinner/Steel exco, and then I'll be back until 12 or 1 am. It's a loooot of library time, but incredibly necessary. Everyone I know is pretty much in the same boat, so I've been taking study breaks to visit people in their individual study rooms/scholar studies, but it definitely has the potential to drive me a little bit stir-crazy. Good thing it's a really ugly day out, or I would be having real trouble.

I just found a nice napping place, so I might never leave...
