Ok I go.

You only live once, and I'll probably never take a road trip to New Orleeeens again.

One, because I haven't even done it yet and I already know I'll want to kill myself for signing up for a 9 hour car ride.

Two, because I know I'll regret it if I can't go. What's one weekend of half assing work in Austin vs. 2 nights and one day with friends in New Orleans?

I'm curious as to whether this will turn out to be one of those crazy college memories you'll remember forever, but most likely we'll eat till we puke and play a lot of boggle. (what can I say, thao and kristal are nerds)

This is my first Mardi Gras! I want beads. yay. Shiny beads.

Mardi Gras this weekend

Pros
- never been before
- Thao and Chris will be gone next year
- will probably never go again
- good food
- better people
- girls?

Cons
- 9 hour drive each way (that's 18+ hours killed)
- will have to leave right after most important probably long scoring careers on friday (when the hell to pack)
- will have to learn early sunday morning to be back in time for meeting (when the hell to make agenda)
- if go to AACM talent show, sunday night gone.
- want to have a family night
- neED to do laundry
- neED to majorly catch up on reading and cases.
- wanted to do dry cleaning
- wanted to meet with some wonderfully proactive freshmen over schedules/majors/careers/ABSA
- need to hold scoring careers meeting sunday; so many details to go over
- still have clothes in luggage
- scoring careers next day

I. can. not. decide.

Since I got to Austin it feels like it's been non stop meetings and class with meals and sleep squeezed in when possible.

How is it possible it's like this already?

back in Austin.

OMG I'm so stupid. I forgot my bedsheets and pillowcases at home...

From Maxim:

After giving a speech at an elementary school, President Bush lets the kids ask questions.

"How come you invaded Iraq without the support of the U.N.?" asks one boy.

Just as Bush begins to answer, the recess bell rings and he says they'll continue afterward. Half an hour later the kids come back in.

"Where were we?" says George. "Oh, yes- does anyone want to ask me anything?"

A different boy raises his hand and says, "I have three questions: First, why did you invade Iraq without the support of the U.N.? Second, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And lastly, where the hell is Billy?"

I swear, I read it for the articles/jokes...
