Procrastinator Me

It's inching toward 1 am here, and I am maniacally gathering images of Asante art online for my presentation tomorrow. I just forced down my fourth straight cup of tea; this is one of those moments when I miss ol' American gigantic coffees. I could use some.

It's not helping that I keep checking my email, and going on youtube to watch clips of musicals. I've seen "Shall we Dance" from the King and I an unhealthy amount of times in the last few hours. Ditto for "If I were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof. My flatmates are distracting, as usual. I have gone through my Beatles playlist already, and am nearing the end of my Opera one.

I do have good plans for when this is finally done tomorrow. We are celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving tomorrow night, even though it is today. None of us wanted to cook tonight, not even the girl from Vancouver on my flat whose idea it was! I am contributing cranberry sauce. I'm also planning on going with one of my American friends to try another pub tomorrow night.

I had my English Country House presentation today, and it actually wasn't too bad. The other William Smith-er in the class went before me and she did well too. And speaking of William Smith...Take Back the Night is starting soon! Tonight!! If you are on campus you should go!! I couldn't walk it last year (stupid knee) but even if you just go to the vigil after it is sooo worth it, trust me.

There wasn't much point to this post, except that I want to go to bed, and I'd rather be on here than do work. Even if it is pretty interesting.

P.S. Happy Columbus day to all you Yanks, try and avoid finding a smallpox blanket. :)
Here's my only story about Columbus day: when I was in the third grade, every other third grade class got to a have a party, but we couldn't, because Mrs. Rasmussen told us she hadn't taught us about Leif Erickson yet, and seeing as how he was truly before Columbus then we couldn't celebrate. I was so mad. I think now she had a point though.

Update at 1:20 I just realized that I used up all my milk today in hot chocolate (what is with me and hot beverages?) so I can't even have cereal in the morning. Stellar.
