it is awfully hot today. and i dont mean awfully as an intensifier (like very) but in fact awful, like terrible. i cant stand the heat. someone mentioned today that it wasnt hot enough for them and that they like it when it is atleast 3 digits. after getting an unwelcomed visit from the swamp ass fairy all i can say is ... fuck that. people desire and long for this weather all year round but i am NOT one of those people. i would be absolutely miserable anywhere that was regularly over 90 degrees. its not a coincidence that i live in new england. i go to school in one of the northernmost places (of acceptable population) in the country. this is not unplanned or accidental. in short, this horrible horrible hotness needs to subside, or a pool needs to manifest itself in my apartment to help combat it.

i have been kicked offline for a few days and will now be able to write posts. however, because i am in class and consequently exhausted all of the time they will be mostly short and poorly wroten. i had my first actual spanish class today and i have a feeling i will be a champion in it. evidently we will be going over only 2 verb types throughout the whole quarter. and i learned them in 10th grade. also, my teacher said that he would not be teaching the vosotros form of verbs because it is used in only one of the 23 spanish speaking nations. granted that nation is spain, but vosotros is absolutely absurd and no one needs to learn it unless you live in spain which i clearly do not.

i do not have BEHROOZ SATVAT for Chemical Engineering Calculations 2. im not sure that anybody that actually reads this will know who that is or the significance of it. all that needs be said is he is the biggest cock smoker bastahd of a teacher that northeastern has ever known. he is been quoted saying things like, "i can fail the whole class cause i already got the good teacher award".

you know when you go to a party expecting to see all of the same old friends. you still have a good time but they all sort of blend together. anyway, i was hanging out with my beautiful babies lindsay, kaitlin, erika, nina and bridget, many of whom i hadnt seen for several months, and the night was starting prettty slow. so then ben cochrane and ian clark show up. havent seen them for years. then we drive to silas' house in norwich meeting up with him and chris irwin. no party there so we went to tori's. still no party but we picked up matt bates and his friend, tommy maybe, then heading back to canaan. we swung by burgois (i dont know how to spell it but it is pronounce boooshwa). a small party there but we decided to move all of those people to dougies pad. so basically a thousand people i didnt expect to see (other than mentioned, ben heath, the twins, nicole wood, zeth, the storti sisters, gay jay, among others). not starting to drink at all until 1 it was a late morning terminating with me passing out around 6.

i got to hear an interesting theory on life today. it was told to me be a coworker today when my boss and team took us (the coops) out to lunch. evidently, when a family member passed away at age 78 he began checking the average age of the papers obituaries. coming up with 78 everytime he developed the "stealing life" theory. when someone dies at age 60, that means the remaining 18 years of his or her life gets doled out to others like the assholes who live to be 100. so basically, his theory was, that if he killed enough people who were in their 20's he could steal their life and live longer based on the law of averages. for several minutes we sat stunned, trying to soak in the madness of this theory at which point he began explaining further. neil was quick to cut him off saying, "no, we get it man, its just the most asanine thing ive ever heard in my life". im going to miss co-op.

i just realized that tomorrow is going to be friday the 13th. usually i hear bunches of people talking about how all sorts of bad things aregoing to happen but this time i heard nothing of the sort. i never really believed in that foolish superstition anyway. dont walk under a ladder, dont see black cats, dont break mirrors, friggen friday the 13th has too many rules. its been 2000 years since jesus was killed. nobody cares anymore. cool it with the friday the 13th junk.
as my final day of work approaches, i find myself coasting to the end. i spend a whole day doing what is possible to do in an hour. basically the combination of my declining level of care and a genuine lack of things to do, have made it impossible to get any work done. good 'ol shipley had a nice bbq today though which i took advantage of eating absurd amounts of food. thanks guys, you are always ready to reward me when im farthest from earning my wages.
we finally got cable in our apartment so one of us has internet. evidentally we need some sort of costly splitter hub or something in order to let us all have it so kinlin is currently the only one online. too bad he is a loser. plus he is terrible at NHL '96. i am currently on a 1000 game winning streak against him.
i will be returning to the fair state of new hampshire this weekend to drop off some crap i dont need and attempt to convince somebody to bring my dresser to boston. after work tomorrow i will be going to have a few drinks with my boss and coworkers so it is unlikely i will make the 530 bus i had wanted to get on. instead, i will be forced to take the 9 oclock one arriving in Hanover at midnight. carrying all of my shit on the T and the bus while im drunk is gonna be the sweetest.

as i sit here at work, knowing that few other students are doing the same, i cant help but wish that i were not here. but that being said, i am dreading returning to class on tuesday. im not sure anyone realizes just how bad classes really are for me. not only will i be sweating all summer long and not being able to hang out due to excessive homework, but i wont be receiving my weekly paycheck either. i have been defending the co-op program against my roomates for the last few months. their claims, that it is worse than class, and no experience is gained is something i cannot comprehend. true, it sucks getting up at 630 for work everyday, but i have to get up at 730 for my 8 ams anyway. but clearly the biggest difference is that i am trading 500 dollars a week for easily 20 (probably closer to 30) hours of reading, homework, and projects. what is my consolation for all of this? no class on fridays. but really all that means is that my classes are jammed into the other four days making my schedule absolutely awful. here it is so you can all feel better about your own:
