That's The Way We Get By

“We go out in stormy weather, we rarely practice discern…..We found a new kind of a dance in a magazine, try it out; it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen, you sweet talk like a cop and you know it…that’s the way we get by.”

Maybe that’s not the way I get by, but close. After a loooooooong week, you have to do something that doesn’t involve books, pencils, or learning. HAVE TO.

Don’t me wrong- I don’t hate all of school. I just hate that it involves unnecessary work. I am not adverse to work, only busywork, which, I get the strange feeling, describes most of the work I am asked to do. Still, I do it. I enjoy classes that assign work that makes sense, that I can understand how and why it is necessary and what kind of lesson it will teach me.

Still, it’s the weekend and I’m not concerned with school anymore, only on how to get by this weekend.

So, on that note…… Fellow blogger, Kylie and I have plans to…. 1) Watch movies until our eyeballs fall out

2) Shove as much food down our throats as is humanly possible

3) Sleep. Sleep is to a college student what water is to a camel. You have store up as much in your hump as you possibly can because you don’t know when you’ll it again.

4) Conserve as much energy as possible by

A. Not getting out of bed unless it is to change movies

B. Wear the same clothes all weekend as changing takes up way too much precious energy

C. Bring the maximum level of thinking down to .01 %

All of this is not to say that Kylie and I are not good students who do what is asked of us, only that we own the weekend and will do with it what we please, thank you very much.

Have a good time getting by yourself this weekend.
