I think the snow makes me even more random

Hello,

The snow has been falling here almost all day. Quite a bit has accumulated. I have barely gone outside, and really that was only to eat lunch and make my way less than 100 feet to the next building so I can use their study lounge. I know it is a Saturday night on a college campus, I really should be out doing drugs of getting drunk. I don't really feel like doing either. Really I am just going to study Biology so that on Monday and can do well on the exam.

There is a catch in my plan, however. I seemed to have left my notebook and my power cord for my computer in my apartment. I really don't want to go back and get it. It is cold and that is five flights of steps to just get back to my room. I should go get it shouldn't I? Do you think it will be safe just to pack up all of my stuff but just leave my bag in the corner? I shouldn't be more than three min. I just don't want anyone to take it. Oh the dilemma!!! to take a heavy backpack up five flights or to leave it and risk and expensive book and an expensive calculator, not to mention my computer! Nothing else too valuable in there.

Just to waist a few more min. here is an inventory of my backpack (besides the aforementioned objects)
-a lot of random pens (a few stolen for roommates/ classmates and a few from some on campus organizations)
- an outline for a presentation that is long past ( it was on managing finances in college. got some interesting stats that I may mention later)
- various colored highlights
- metallic sharpie that I thought was lost
-a set of headphones
- an empty box of orbit (that got my hopes up)
- what appears to be all the wrappers from my orbit gum all of them empty
- a 2G flash drive
- a half empty pack of stride :)
- two tubes of chap stick
- four rubber bands ( i don't know why, but they may come in handy at a later date)
- a planner
- a few past math assignments

That's really about it. I guess I should go back and get my notebook. Oh well.

Well I have returned safely and with two new invites to parties...that makes four for today. I have my notebook and my power cord. I was also given a cookie upon my return, but I can't say it mad it worth while. For those of you interested I took my stuff with me, I didn't want to lose my half a pack of stride and my four rubber bands. Totally not worth the risk.

I should be making flash cards and memorizing them . I should be looking over my notes and looking at the pages and figures my brilliant and funny professor (just in case she somehow reads this) has referred to.

How amazing it is that I am the only one in this study lounge (between the two buildings there is only one, this campus is amazing like that) . It is a Saturday night, but you would think that some where in these two buildings there would be another geek like me studying for a test. No of course not! They are all out getting drunk, even the geeks. It is just me who is the loser. But not even that I have been invited to parties, one of them by a guy that cheeked me out earlier today. I choose to study however.

Don't get me wrong, some weekends I will go out and party, I will even drink on occasion. I have a test on Monday, and I couldn't forgive myself if I went out and got drunk instead of studying. Oh aren't I just the goody two shoes? I need good grades, I need this all to pan out. All so I can do something that I am not sure I even want to do anymore. Sure I want to help people, and the way the body works fascinates me, but could I watch someone die? The real question is if I don't do this, what will I do? I don't know. So this is the plan until I figure it all out.

Some random facts about college students that I learned while doing the presentation:
- the average college student spends $50 on beer each month
- that adds up to $5.5 billion nationally
- we spend $3 billion nationally on movie rentals a year
- the average student spends $211 per month on discretionary items
- Nationally American students spend $11 billion on snacks and beverages

Some startling stats.

This was really random. Sorry! I am off to study some more now.
