I done gone and lost my shoes
Well, I am sure glad I got that out of my system now I can make it through the next three days closer to sober (and hopefully find my favorite shoes, vest, and ID). Everyone needs a night like last night before leaving college for good. Actually, yesterday was a perfect microcosm of my four years here. Class in the morning, boughts of editing Yoshi's thesis throughout the day, debate expense reports, honor code spheel for the Feb leaders, made an appearance at a class dinner, wine, came home and ate thai food with friends, darted off for my last debate meeting ever, beer, came home and got ginified. Yesterday was the 24-hour version of four years - some school work, reports, debate, judicial boards, and blurry blurry drunkeness. Abstract busy-ness. I ran a fairly interesting case last night - I iron-manned (in debate speak it means that I was tipsy and no one wanted to debate with me, so I gave three speeches) the case that Middlebury will be the best four years of one's life - against the equally as tipsy "machine." That was fun, and I think that little punk Phil is right, "I am better when I am drunk."
The jury is out on whether I am going to or boycotting the Feb mixer at the President's House tonight. I know that some faculty people will be on hand and that would be nice, but we'll see if I feel like showering again and mingling with strangers. It's also a fairly long walk and I don't know if I feel like going by myself. I certainly need a nap and some blush (to cover up my pale hung-overness) if I plan on going out in public for real. As for now, let's keep procrastinating on the packing bit, get horizontal and watch
Amelie again.
