This weekend was a relatively slow and boring as weekends go: it was filled with trips to Starbucks, late nights at the Atrium, waking up and going to bed in the wee hours of the morn (sometimes not even going to bed.) All in all it was typical Hopkins-nearing-exams-fare.
Since finals are dawning upon us all in the coming week I feel as if I should have had at least something fun preplanned to tell you all in a precontrived and convincing manner that’ll totally make you want to go out and have the same fun I had.
However, I don’t really have any fun things to tell you guys but since I lack anything exciting to divulge, I thought I’d share some funny anecdotes from this past week.
So, my first story is relatively mild but at the same time creepy. About a week ago, I hadn’t gotten any sleep and I needed to take a nap before I had a flurry of meetings I had to rush off to.
As I napped, my roommate who is in the room too, heard a voice. The voice is high pitched, like a little girl, and it was singing.
Turns out, the high-pitched little girl’s voice came from me.
Apparently, I sing in my sleep.
Seriously?
The best part is that I asked my mom if I’ve talked in my sleep before and her simple response? “Of course you have, Jes. Haven’t I told you that before?”
No, mom. No you haven’t.
It might not be the best or funniest story that you’ve ever heard but if you could have seen the utter fear that I placed in my roomie’s eyes—good God it was hilarious.
As I am writing this, thinking terribly and desperately hard for some sort of substance to jump off of, I just remembered that I did do something somewhat interesting!
Not really, but I’m desperate here so give me a break.
Anyway, I was at a mask making party (don’t ask) and we were making masks (duh) when I got a call from my sister saying that she had a Zipcar and if I wanted to go with her to shop.
My response was typical: hell yes.
Little did I know that shopping was grocery shopping but the one upside was being able to buy fairy lights (LED lights for you nonbelievers).
I have them all around my windows and bed —note to everyone out there with fairy lights above your head that they are a bad idea when you’re trying to sleep.
I had thought that they wouldn’t be all that bright, well I was horribly mistaken.
However my pride was too great and I refused to turn them off.
I got an hour of sleep but my pride is still whole. That’s about it for my story, I hope everyone has a wonderful winter break and survives finals! Good luck!
