i witnessed this burly white student try to get milk for his cereal in wismer. he tried the whole milk and there was none. he then tried the two percent milk and there was none. he got visibly angry. he threw the entire bowl into the trash, returned the spoon and huffed away while saying "this school is fucking bullshit". this was really funny to me. how the lack of fat-containing cow milk set this guy off like that. there was skim milk in between the other two. there's a whole fridge full of alternative milks. and yet, this grown man probably twice my size threw a strange tantrum. really puts into perspective how coddled these athletes are

i took my sociology midterm today. i spent a couple hours reading up and skimming the text book. the test had a limit of just under two hours. at first, i was doing really well on time. i had answered a majority of the multiple choice questions without spending too much time on them. but since i was in my room, i distracted myself with other things, like playing music. spent a good deal of time checking my notes (which was allowed). the short answer questions were longer than i anticipated, but i felt i had enough time to do them. i started a few and then went to change the music. on my way back to the desk, i saw this large brown spider on the side of my bed towards the wall. i wasn't going to let it just rest there knowing it could disappear in my sheets or under my bed. so i spent at least five minutes trying to capture the spider. i didn't want to smear it on my bed, and a friend of mine would pin it in a box if i could get it to her whole

when putting the cup over it i missed and pinched two of its left legs. they ripped off and the spider went under my bed. which i wasn't going to allow to happen. so i wasted time turning on every light as clearing my bed of everything so that i could find it again. i caught the thing and put it in the freezer. i even found the two legs that came off. but while doing this whole thing, i forgot i was in the middle of an exam

i had about twenty minutes to finish the test, which, at this point, after having glossed over the remaining short answer questions, i knew would be a stretch, if not insufficient time. i rushed through the rest typing whatever came to mind and hoping to get as much credit as possible. i got to the last question and while reading over it, saw it was worth more than the rest. and that it wasn't difficult, just lengthier. got a notification of ten seconds remaining and kind of just accepted that was it. i was doing so well in this class but these last couple weeks of me being mentally checked out have really put me in a hole. it's not anything can't climb out of, but it's certainly going to require diligence through december

i went and got food with b ryan and janice. watched that airplane episode of the twilight zone

i still have to finish my ethics paper
