Take #2

I have not written in my blog for a while but this time I will make it a habit (maybe I should retake it it as part of Lent?). Anyway if I do not write in it frequently you have permission to throw a snow ball at me (after all Georgetown has enough snow to give the Sahara water for planting bananas for 3 years). I cannot really come up with a life summary of my last three months (a lot has actually happened or not happened so I will write as it comes up and hopefully something will come up. First point to note is that I am doing 99 days at the Tombs which consists of consuming some beverage or food item at this restaurant/bar next to Georgetown for 99 days. What is interesting is that over a 100 people are doing it which means that this could make us the best class ever (as if I did not already know that?). Anyway some of my friends are doing it so it is super fun (just as long as we do not start countdowns.... VETO).
So a really interesting Tombs experience happened last night on Ash Wednesday. I was waiting by myself at the bar right after Mass (so I had my ash already) when two guys sitting next to me started talking to me about my ashes and Masses (they were clearly drunk and flirting with me). Anyway I played along until my friend came because I just got tired of the two guys just wanting to flirt with me (I was clearly not interested in them). The third guy, the bartender, was definitely better at it when he tried partly because he was not drunk and vulgar. Anyway my friend left and I was stuck with my Tombs pizza and they were once again trying to flirt with me (one of them even asked me that if I did not finish my Tombs pizza whether he can take it.... he clearly does not know how much I eat even though I insisted I could finish it). Anyway I was so desperate to leave that I left my friend stranded who was going to come in about 15 minutes. However, I am now able to say I stood up a Jesuit (he is not a Jesuit yet but no one needs to know that). Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that I do not trust the Tombs bar because the only day that I wear a visible sign of my Catholic faith I get hit on various times (yes, I cannot wait to go alone to the Tombs bar again!).
The other main event of my life was the four snow days we got last week. Despite having Spring Break 1.0 I am still not caught up on my work (this is partly the result of not doing any work) I would work a bit during the late morning and early afternoon but late afternoon I would not work because I would be desperately checking my emails for another snow day. Then once we got the snow day I would actually not work and go out (again and again). Anyway this slowly led to Cabin Fever (I love my house but I like leaving it whenever I wish... supposedly this leads to me not being there ever... lies). I had to eave my house Wednesday because I would die of boredom and I also needed to explore the campus. It also leads to other side effects such as sending angry emails to the Provost and watching the accumulation of 6-foot tall killer icicle in my back porch of my room. Anyway then my catch-up weekend got taken so I am back to square one with no work done and other stuff to do (such as fixing my computer).
However, this brings me to the quintessential Gabi moment which happened today during class. I gulped down too much water (I am a water drinker extraordinaire). This led to chocking everything on my sweatshirts and sweatpants and everyone staring at me (wrong sort of attention). I realized that I have so many Gabi moments (such as getting the quote of the days almost every day) but this one is golden because only I can drink so much water all the time and still choke on it. It also made me realize what is more scary that death by needles: death by water bottles.
Now I need to leave but I forgot how good this feels. Anyway I will write more or I sense icy snow balls pelting me in the right ear soon (ouch!).
