this is going to have to be quick, because soon enough, i am departing to go watch 90210 with emily et al. i am excited, as i am always excited to see another beautiful aaron spelling creation. aaron spelling has made me happy for 10 years now, ever since that first episode of 90210 with the two minnesotans, brenda and brandon. i feel i have moved up in my watching habits; though i may not watch with the frequency i did so many years ago, i now watch 90210 in style. tonight is cocktails and 90210... very classy. we're even working on martinis. super classy.

i have been wishing all day that swarthmore would be swept away, or blown away perhaps, by our dear hurricane floyd. the rain and wind have been exciting and exhillerating and very very wet. i need to have weather experiences like this more often. too frequently, the weather just happens. to me, to the world... whatever. but today, i am experiencing it. i guess what i really should do is throw on all this rubber raingear of mine, run out to a field, throw out my arms, and embrace this. i actually saw someone doing this today on my way to class, and i was jealous. jealous that he had the freedom (not necessarily of time, more so of spirit) to do just what i'd been secretly desiring to do.

i am also thrilled by the fact that i have started off the semester, the first semester of my senior year, my last year here at swarthmore, by making new friends. i am completely tickled pink by these new intriguing people in my life. i love it, i love talking to them, looking at their faces and their eyes and their expressions, listening to their voices and ideas. this is a perfect way to begin my last year.

well now... i must get ready and then venture out to go shake some martinis with emily.
