what I think about when there are elephants next door

What I've discovered this week:

- Drunk people are way more annoying when you're sober and trying to sleep.

- Tired people are less tolerant of drunken first-years

- It's easy to forget what it was like to be a drunken first-year when you are tired and keep getting woken up by fights over which bar is dirtier: Palace or Dome.

- There is a sort of sadness and nostalgia attached to thinking about bars like the Palace and the Dome.

- This nostalgia is very quickly replaced with an overwhelming desire to shower.


Other things I've discovered this week, unrelated to my being awake enough to write this right now:

- Paperwork with the Mount is never finished. Ever.

- You can't make mashed potatoes in the blender.

- Wooden spoons are easily eaten by rapidly spinning blender blades.

- When you cook big meals, there are leftovers.

- Cooking more than two big meals in one week means that you eat leftovers for much longer than desired.

- I don't know anything at all about philosophy. At all.

- I DO like Proust, and more than just the one quote I've memorized.

- You really can make stone soup.

- Best friends will always be just that: best friends.

- Giving blood and then walking home is not a good idea.

- Halifax is beautiful in the winter, especially when it's cold.

- I'm going to miss here, when I'm gone.
