happy birthday to me :)
i have officially been 21 for 1 hour and 29 minutes.
i still have a paper to write for my class tomorrow...
why is it that the only time i blog is when i have to write a paper? i guess that's procrastination at its finest...
so far being 21 doesn't feel any different than being 20, except that i was convinced to shotgun a beer (ew.) in front of my roommate, who is a chaplain and could get me in trouble if i was not 21. yep... i really hate beer. it's gross, even when you're drinking it so ridiculously fast that you can't actually taste it. now i never have to do that again...
the paper that i have to write is actually on a really interesting book that i read for my cultural anthropology class about these people in papua new guinea called the gebusi. it's an ethnography by this guy who went and lived with them from 1980-82 then went back in 98 to see how much they had changed. at first it made me want to go do that, but then i realized that i do not want to be an anthropologist. i don't want to study people, i just want to hang out with them.
ok... i guess i should go ahead and write my paper now. good thing i have some delicious trail mix for brain food.

my favorite place on campus :)
i'm currently sitting in my favorite place on ccu's campus: the study room in the back of the library. i definitely came here to write a paper, but it's not that late yet, and i feel like writing this instead of that right now. let me just tell you about this study room...
it's a good 15 degrees hotter than the rest of the library... seriously, you walk in and it's like a wall of muggy heat. it's awesome. normally i hate heat like that, but for some reason in this room it's okay with me. it's about 6 feet square, and it has a slanty ceiling that makes it feel even smaller. there are 3 chairs around a table that's entirely too big for the room, and if you tried to actually have 3 people in here, you'd probably pass out after about 4 minutes from heat stroke. right now it probably smells like stinky feet because i took off my mocs (my feet were hot...). you'd think that this room would be awful. but i love it. it's been my favorite place since freshman year when i discovered it. that was when i decided the library was my favorite place on campus. haha... freshman year my friend erin and i even made goals to make out with someone in a study room (don't worry... hasn't happened yet, and i don't foresee it happening before i graduate). i have spent entirely too much time in this room. i've done heaps of papers, watched movies, had conversations, and taken naps in here. it's just full of memories! there was about a 2-week period last year when my friend steff and i would skip chapel to watch political african movies in the study room. it was awesome! we watched the last king of scotland and hotel rwanda. both are good movies... you should watch them.
i think some of my favorite ccu memories have happened in the library, or they started out in the library. it's a good place.
ok... i'm gonna write my paper now. ew.
