So to keep up my monthly "I don't feel like doing [blank], so I'll blog" trend, let's do this, shall we?
Eh, let's keep it to bullet points.

>Dan's blog makes me want to write again without making me hate him...this makes me very happy. I don't know where he finds the time, but perhaps between the Mario Cart games, I could scribble a few words down. I guess you could say I fell off my bike this summer when I worked my ass off on a piece I didn't even particularly like, just because I wanted to push myself. I need to get back on soon.

>We FINALLY SIGNED ON THE HOUSE! OH SWEET MERCIFUL LORD, IT'S OVER! For anyone who doesn't know, finding housing from next year took roughly three years off my life expectancy. I've never been so aggravated in my life with something so tedious. Anyway, the guys (Paul, Moffet, Dan, Tom, James and I) will be living at 3610 T street, a sweet townhouse with six single rooms. Sure, it's like four blocks off campus and that's far in georgetown terms, but I think it should be ok.

>My nickname at my Residence Hall Office is Bowser...that's right, the big angry dinosaur from Mario. Also, we took 2nd at Inter-RHO dodgeball! [Insert BOWSER roar].

>I'm doing pretty well for myself, and for the first time in my life, I think I'm starting to realize that...without some sort of writing award, two tiered-trophy in Ms. Edwards's office, standing ovation, or beautiful woman who cares about me to go along with it. It's sad that it's taken me this long, but I guess I've just never seen what other people see in me. I wasn't denying its existence for the sake of praise...I just didn't see it unless I had proof. Now, I'm pretty much ok with being grounded in myself and I'm not as frustrated with my life in what you might call Down Time. For more details on that...IM me or something.

>I'm gonna come right out and say that when it comes to math, I'm a prick. Or at least a prick when pricked. Last night I worked on stats with two guys from my class, and one, who's a senior and who was running a tutoring session while we were working on the homework, apparently likes to throw his weight around. I'd start talking about the process I took to get to my answer, and he'd just interrupt and tell me to look up a Z-score on the Stats chart while he moved on. So I began to take a smug enjoyment out of the point where he'd offer an answer and I had calculated something else. I mean, yeah, it's a pretty conceited thing to become a dick because you think you're right, but I justify it to myself because I feel like if it was three people trying to work it out together, I'd definitely feel more collaborative.

> The Winter's Tale is going to be AMAZING. First of all, the leads are played by my favorite actor and actress in Georgetown. Secondly, I have a part I really like (For all you Gtown folk, have you heard that I'm the moral center of the play? From me? Like 8 times?) and third, it's just nice to sit around a table with people again.

What blew ME away was over Thanksgiving when my mother, Mary Louise McCarthy, Ms. "Graduate ASAP and start making money" told me "I think you should be able to get a position with an actuarial firm and then do theater at night, because you really shouldn't give that up." I couldn't believe it. I mean, I'd love to dance around and shout "Operation Kick-Ass-in-Much-Ado-so-Mom-will-realize-that-I-can-do-this was a success!" but I was honestly too floored to do even that. Constantly shocking, that woman.

>Things are ok right now...which, as the bullet point 3 points up suggests, means more to me right now than things being spectacular when I have a lot of good stuff going on.
