*yawn*  just finished a firedrill.  got called at 1850 and was asked to "touch up" a presentation.  and i thought these kinda of requests only happen in IB! 

anyway, i got done within the hour (stella's the power point queen, yay!  ) Had to delay dinner appointment at 1930, but now it's Dan's turn to get work. dood this is like a volleyball game.  only me not too keen to play.  argh ... I'M STARVING!  What do you think... Thai, Japanese or Italian?

Yo, i just spent a good 60 minutes browsing thru the entire list of blogrings ... and that's just in the "universities & colleges" section!  [slight nauseated now  ]

why do we all feel the need to pigeon-hole ourselves?  is it that reassuring to belong to categories like "wellesley graduate", "poetry lover", etc.?
