Mum's the word

First of all, happy Mother's Day to all of my various female relatives who read this. I'm currently sitting in my father's restaurant taking family photos for customers to take home. It's fun, if a little boring, and I get free food, so I have no objection.

Requests were made for interesting things about my life, so here's what I can think of...I dyed my hair green a couple of weeks ago, as a part of my costume for the Procession of the Species, which is an annual event in my town. I was a part of Samba OlyWa, a local drumming/dance group, and our whole group was dressed as "a country meadow," which basically just meant that we wore a lot of green. The color is mostly faded now, so it just sort of looks like a bleaching job gone horribly wrong.

Classes going well; I just wrote a really stressful paper that's mostly all done, which is quite the relief. I'm not quite clear on what we're doing for the rest of the quarter, but it's possible we're going to do a 30-mile march at the end of the month.

My roommates are all out of town for the weekend, hanging with their parents and girlfriends, so my place is sort of empty at the moment. I considered doing a massive cleaning project at the apartment, but instead I slept in and then went to a friend's house to watch Harry Potter. I think I made the right decision. The rest of them were playing a drinking game we made up, wherein one takes a drink when any of a predetermined set of cliches is onscreen. Nothing like tipsy geeks for entertainment.

I'm still not sure what I'm doing this summer; I'd like to go to Alaska, but I'd also like to take a class that lasts all summer, so I don't know what exactly I'm going to do about that. We shall see, we shall see...
