*A jiffy*
Anyways, let me extoll the joys of being a RA. On saturday night, at roughly 3:20am, I was greeted(not woken up, but simply greeted) with a familiar shrieking noise of the fire alarm. And okay, it's not a big deal for one fire alarm, but NO! 20 minutes after, once I had just gotten settled in, it went off again! the inhumanity! Anyways, by this time, the police constable was not pleased, and I was told by them to go up 12 floors (via the stairs, not the elevator as it stops working after a fire alarm) to make sure no one pulled it. And thus, me and Erin sat around for a good 45 minutes to make sure that no one would put it again.. Third's the charm, don't they say? But luckily no such event occured. So I was able to play my Super Mario Brothers 3 in peace. Let me begin this tale of a grotesque addiction that began innocently enough: a few cartoons. I had recently downloaded copious episodes of the Super Mario Brothers 3 TV Show. It wasn't quality programming, but entertaining nonetheless. But eventually, one thing led to another, and the next thing you know, I was hooked onto the game like bait on a fish lure. Right now, I'm on world 6 or 7. My roommate jen said she beat it in 6 hours. I'm guessing she cheated and used the magical whistles. Anyways that was the main reason that I had bought a gamepad. To play super mario bros. 3 in all its glory. And it's more addictive than crack. I've never beat the game before, so all this is very new to me at this point. But I think I'm nearing the end, and there shall be nothing left to play, so I may still have a chance of passing 2nd year of university. We'll see, we'll see. Other than mario, I've been up to some vague attempts at cleaning my room, and winning the first intramural volleyball game in the name of the Uberstars (our team name). I was so glad to see so many people show up! Having like 8 people on your team is awesome stuff! Geez Louise... I had some interesting things to say, but in the span of the last two hours or so, where I've been talking to people and attempting to do my chemistry lab, I've forgotten! Or at least forgotten how I was planning to properly articulate this feeling I had. But to keep things simple, I think I was feeling genuinely alive. It can happen at the strangest of times, but it is a sensation like no other. In spite of all the imperfection, I feel like there is so much to live for, even it this living requires growing older and gaining new responsibilties. Despite it all, the connections you have with people, with those you love and those you don't, will grow ever deeper as we age, each bringing their unique perspective and quirks to your life; and if that doesn't fill you with life, I don't know what will.
