Music: Further Seems Forever - Bye Bye Bye
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Man. That Thursdayweek was just packed full of stress. So here. Have a belated diary of the most hectic Thursday ever.

My International Relations class was pretty normal, but right after that I went to my first bit of participation in the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternety that I just pledged to. I worked at the blood drive for three hours, escorting people to the snack room after donating and showing them where to sit to donate. It was probably the most rewarding three hours of my life so far. I just wish that I could get this warning off of my blood so I could donate again. Unfortunately, I signed for the 11-2 shift without remembering that I have Italian Recitation at 11 on Thursdays...damn.

After that, it was on to my first test in International Law. There were 8 case studies in the text book that we had to know for the test. I spent four hours studying and memorized the 8 case studies. About an hour before the test, one of them slipped my mind, but I figured that it was all good. There were still 7 other cases that I knew front and back. Why on earth would she ask for that one that I couldn't remember anything about?

That was a dumb thing to think.

We get the test and question three asks about Broadbent vs. OAS. Ahhh, I thought, so that's the one I forgot. Of course. This case was the only on asked for specifically on the test, and there were no clues as to which it was in the wording of the question. Just "What precedent was set in Braodbent vs. OAS?" Perfect.

I got so flustered after this that I started forgetting the names of the other case studies. So the whole test saw me citing "The case between the United Nations and Israel." It totally blew. I'm not looking forward to that one coming back to me.

Then it was on to the Calvin and Hobbes meeting where I did my first co-hosting of our little "Week in Review" bit (Think "Weekend Update" from SNL with a quarter of the talent [non of it coming from me] and no budget). I was so nervous that my hands were visibly shaking , but everyone said that I did okay. Oh well. Hopefully I'll do better tomorrow.

And then it was over. No big lumps of work. No more stress. So now I'm just coasting. My mom, Pop-Pop and his girlfriend came up for a visist last night and this afternoon, but they're on their way back home now. And I've got a concert to go to! I'm going to go see Rufus Wainwright at Lehigh tonight! I've never driven to Lehigh, so I'm leaving about two hours before the concert and meeting V and Ree-e-e at a Bethlehem Perkins. After the concert, I'm going to head back in to Jersey. It's closer to home than Bucknell, and it's apparantly harder to get to Bucknell from there, especially at night. Considering how easily I get lost in broad daylight, it's probably best that I just follow Ree-e-e home. Besides. I'll get to sleep in my nice, comfy bed then :)
