one more to go...
ahhh finals! i have one more tomorrow morning in psych and i really should be studying right now. but instead i've decided to offer you the following:

Impulse2002: holy shit!
Impulse2002: i think my chest is actually growing hairier
Impulse2002: something needs to be done here
Impulse2002: i need like anti-rogain

SEvEnDuSt717: u should
SEvEnDuSt717: itll be fun being drunk in the caf togethere
SEvEnDuSt717: every day
SEvEnDuSt717: at 9 in the morning

YISHAI 20: i want a threesome
YISHAI 20: maybe if i join hatzlah

the next day...
Liz0002: you joined hatzalah?
YISHAI 20: no but i bought a fake badge

i am physically incapable of studying
ok, in my defense, i am relatively prepared for my first final, which is tomorrow morning at 9AM. HOWEVER, it definitely couldn't hurt for me to study a little more..and yet i am INCAPABLE of studying for more than five minutes at a time. it's unbelievable... i sit down to study and am up doing something else within minutes. i better enjoy it now cuz once tomorrow's final is over, i have three significantly harder ones to go...and those will require way more study time than five minutes.


GodlyAnubis84: you know what would make you feel better
Liz0002: what
GodlyAnubis84: looking at naked chicks

a little later...

GodlyAnubis84: well do you feel better yet?
Liz0002: yeah a little
GodlyAnubis84: so we really do share a brain
GodlyAnubis84: cause i'm looking at naked chicks

some things in this world, man, they don't make sense
has anyone else heard that song milkshake by kelis? it is the strangest, stupidest song i have ever heard. but damn if it isn't mad catchy.
im watching mtv right now and they're playing "numb" by linkin park. i once read a review about them that said they sound like they camp out around junior high kids' lockers and use their conversations as lyrics. and you know, i can definitely see that...
you know what song i like though? sic transit gloria..glory fades by brand new. the video is really intense too. good stuff..
anyway, this week has kind of sucked. it's interesting to realize how much other people can affect you and make you feel shitty, even if they don't realize it. so be careful before you act...

you know what i just realized?
have you ever been flipping channels so fast that you don't leave enough time for the actors on the shows to talk before you flip to the next show? i was doing that today and i realized...i can tell when a show is in spanish just by looking at the people. when i think a show is in spanish, i leave it on to hear them talk and i'm always right! it's really quite remarkable.

anyway, i have been in a super shitty mood the past few days. so cheer me up bitch!

colder now
friday after class, i braved the snow and made it into penn station, where i met yoni, who came with me for her first weekend in queens. after waiting in the snow for the bus for 20 minutes, we dropped our stuff at eli's then met him and avi faska at meal mart to get food for shab. on the way back, sarah called to invite us for dinner. so, uh, we went. not going to elaborate on that one.
anyway, we get back to eli's (we= me, yoni, eli, both tovas, ari, bob/nathan) and before long the faskas show up. avi faska's pouring the alcohol so of course i'm getting double shots and i was pretty gone. some other people stopped by. it's kind of a blur, but unlike yoni and tova, i didn't puke so it was all good.
saturday we woke up before noon(!) and sat down to eat lunch. after kiddush, we all sat around the table looking at each other, realizing that eliana(the usual server) was not there. so tova baron and yoni filled in. during lunch, the best quote of the weekend was said by eli: "you're not supposed to pee while getting a blow job." try to figure out the context of THAT one.
a little later the faskas showed up again, and we all talked for a while before falling asleep. by the time we woke up shabbos was about over, so avi and dovid went to meet their dad at maariv (such good boys), and the rest of us made havdalah. after shab eliana showed up and she, ari and i discussed our agreement that he and i will get married while the two of them will have children. then eliana, tova berman, yoni and i went for pizza.

then there was the party. which sucked.


and i'm out.

gentlemen, behold!
well kids, thanksgiving is over, and that can only mean one thing: finals are approaching at a disturbingly rapid speed. how, i ask, can the semester already be over? doesn't it seem like the summer was five minutes ago? (hey, remember the "wine and cheese" party? or rachel and david's bday at sushi mitzuyan-- that's right i appeal to wide demographic of friends here...i'm sure both camps remember my party, albeit some might remember it better than others..) but enough summer memories... the most depressing thing about thanksgiving vacation is that you go home, and even for someone like me who has to go home pretty often to work, it's still the first time i've spent more than a day at home in a really long time. so you're sitting there at home, bored out of your skull and all of a sudden it hits you...i am climbing the walls after 4 days, and pretty soon, i am gonna be coming home for FOUR WEEKS. yeah, that's pretty bad.
so some people are going to israel and such for winter break (my roommate is actually going to guatemala, which is different i know, but kind of cool) and i also feel like somebody mentioned florida and i know little faska is trying to organize a ski trip, but it looks like i'm not going anywhere special. odds are, i'll spend some time at rachel's dorm since, unlike good ol rutgers, nyu actually leaves their dorms open during the break, and what's better than hanging out with your best friend in new york city? (nothing. exactly.) once i've outstayed my welcome there, there is of course always eli's, where i've spent an obscene amount of time this semester. but really, i can't stay around those enablers for too long, so at some point i probably will have to go home. then again, if i'm home and i can work, and i certainly do need money to pay for all the train rides in and out of new york.


and now bed.

signs that hell has frozen over
1) yishai and i both missed the real world season finale

2) howie day is being played on mtv



sixtylemurs: what i dont smell funny do i?
Liz0002: well i cant smell you from here
Liz0002: so thats a good sign

the weekend
after making it to nyu a record breaking three minutes before shabbos, i settled into third north, my home away from home and prepared for a good old nyu shab. little did i know that this shab would turn my world upside down...
so we went to dinner, where a guy so kindly spilled soup on me. afterward we went to hear the pres of nyu speak. it was sooo crowded so rivkah and i sat on a couch in the back and listened intently. (ed. note: in some languages, "listened intently" is interchangable with "fell asleep"). when he was done it was only 930 but i felt like it was time for bed.
but it wasn't.
there was a birthday party in rachel's dorm, so we decided to check that out- and who do i see when i walk in but nicki! nicki and i bond for a bit. there more alcohol on the table in front of us than i have ever seen in one place (i'm told this is because my queens friends are "cheap bastards"). now nyu is my sober place, so i'm not planning on drinking, but then nicki tells me that SHE is drinking for the first time ever. so i had to drink with her. we did a few shots and nicki was a beautiful drunk ("i feel ok! but i'm a little dizzy!") as for me, i didn't really get all that drunk, i was more enjoying being able to drink things that actually tasted good, like peach schnapps, even if they were a little weaker than the vodka i usually drink. i got a little tipsy, but it was kind of like, if i was going to get drunk at nyu at all, tispy was certainly as drunk as i was going to get.
rivkah and mariella, being the kind souls that they are, helped clean up, so i stayed around until they were done and then we went upstairs and went to sleep.
next day we had lunch at david schick's REALLY FREAKING NICE apartment. because it's the winter, once lunch was over, there was about an hour till shab ended, so rivkah and i decided to go back to the dorm. we had a good talk (sabbatical twins!) then shab was over and it was time to get ready to go to queens.
at first the party in queens was a little slow, but then all our friends showed up. yishai was right when he said if we had to bring our own friends for the party to be good, it's not really a good party. eliana and her friend sarah came, they left at 12- i was gonna leave with them but decided to stay, get drunk and wake up at 7 (cuz i had to be at shul at 11 at a brunch my mom was being honored at). as you can see, i have excellent judgement. so we go back to the party and do a few shots and hang out. it was fun, i remember things like asking ari to marry me and telling avi faska that i just did not understand how he and dovid are brothers. we went back to eli's around 230 and went to sleep.
7 am came way too early and resulted in a very hungover alisa taking the subway/train back to new brunswick. as a general rule, i do not get hungover, unless i don't get enough sleep, which is exactly what happened yesterday morning. i was nauseous all day. but i made it back pretty early and all was well, even made it into work for a few hours in the afternoon before going back to school and attending a wonderful aqua teen party in hardenburgh 641. clutch indeed.


see how detailed i get when im procrastinating?

oh man, what a beautiful thing
today marked the third and final day in the 4 tests, 3 days marathon. which means: i'm done with all my tests! yaaay! it is such a relief to not have to study incessantly anymore, at least for a little while.
tonight when we got out of class it was POURING. it reminded me of the night i lost my shoe. spoons and i got soaked but i managed to keep my shoes on this time. they are still wet though. i tried to blow dry them but then i decided that instead i'll let them dry by themselves and just wear different shoes tomorrow.

just a thought
so today i had a psych test. while studying (like a FIEND), i learned that people who are biologically related have more similarities than those who grow up together but are not actually related. yesterday, i went home after work and was watching tv with my sister. a starburst commercial came on and, having never seen that commercial with her before, said, "oh i really like this commercial." then she said, "so do i!" and so, even though we don't really live together anymore, we still are biologically related- and so we still like the same commercials.
oh also, i just saw a commercial for real world- ace is so hot (right, yish?)
