Cut and Paste the Randoms

I compounded my first prescription on Thursday all by myself, and I'm thinking I did pretty good, but man was it stressful. It was probably the last thing I needed during a week in which I had both Biochem and Pharmaceutics exams to study for, but by the end of my lab I had my Wintergreen rubbing alcohol solution all perfect with a flawless label.

Thursday night my friend Beth and I felt comfortable enough to actually put all our school crap away and be social for a while. We even got all dressed up in heels and lipstick to go out to the bar, but we were ready way before everyone else on our floor, so we ended up going out to get a pizza to kill some time. Afterwards we went to the bar and found out there was a three dollar cover charge and neither of us had cash. SON OF A BITCH. So we went to Meijer, got some ice cream, came back and sipped on rum and ciders while watching Pitch Black (because we would both have sex with Vin Diesel). But after being up since 6 am, we were both too tired to even finish the movie. Still, it was a nice night off from the usual homework.

That guy that I helped with his homework that was such as ass to me is named Labarron apparently. On Tuesday night I heard some commotion out at the end of my hallway, and when I went to look it was him and two of the RA's from South Bond. I guess he did something for a charity event and expected compensation for it, and the RA's were trying to explain to him that that's not how it works. AN HOUR AND A HALF he argued this same dumb-ass point, all the while the RA's were trying to defuse the situation by offering to make him an appointment with the hall director, Jesse, with whom he could complain further. He ignored them of course (because he ignores everyone), and talked over their attempts to move the arguement out of the hallway and into his room, so they wouldn't be disturbing everyone on the floor. They finally got him to follow them into the kitchen where they continued to argue for another half an hour until the hall director showed up. Things really started to get heated then. The RA's had been trying their best to be polite, but now they were just all out yelling at him because (and much like in my own situation with him) he refused to listen to anything anyone said. He just yelled and yelled and yelled as if no one had anything to say back. Finally the hall director sent him to his room. Like, he actually said "GO to your room." Which I thought was rather appropriate. Well, Labarron wouldn't go until Jesse finally threatened to call public safety on his sorry ass. Then he left.

I told the RA's what happened to me with him, and I guess he's done it a few times to other people as well. Oh, and he's thirty four years old. HOLY CRAP. I told some of the boys on my floor about what he did to me and they were pretty pissed. So I'm glad I at least told other people--this guy seems like a psycho.

Beth and I have talked about living together next year. A few other girls that we're friends with have expressed interest in living with us too, but I don't really want to live with more than one person ever again unless I gave birth to them or I'm related to them in some way. Not to mention Beth has had some bad experiences with it and feels even more strongly about it than I do. So we're going to start to look for apartments this week and I'm pretty excited. I hope we can find a nice place.

Mike took me out to Carraba's last night and to see Saw III. I can't believe they made two more movies of the original Saw and they were all really good. I'm very impressed. Today I have to study but this evening we're meeting with Sandy and Debbie in Battle Creek and I'm excited to see them. Sunday I'm going to try and see some friends before heading back up to Big Rapids. I'm almost to Thanksgiving break, then Christmas break, then OMG THE END OF THE SEMESTER. I'm so proud of myself for not jumping off a building yet. :D
