Holidays are here again!

YES, I am alive. Class is now over for the year, holidays have begun today. Finals week kind of took it out of me: there was a lot of work, little fun, no sleep and a lot of complaining. I suppose that's the definition of finals week. But, I got everything done and handed in, none of it was too shite, and it's over. Everyone else found finals week tough also, at least I got that impression. More people than usual fell asleep in the library anyway. Actually, people pretty much lived in the library; where, to aid study resolve , they offered about 8 different forms of free caffeine in the lobby, and played 'Eye of the Tiger' every hour on the hour. They also held a mass Midnight Breakfast (at 10pm, how Reed), where the whole school turned up at Commons for free scrambled egg, roast potatoes, bacon and pancakes.
The last night of school we probably ought to have had a mad blowout or something, but everyone was all sleep-deprived and grumpy, and the weather sucked. We lay around and chatted and watched movies. Excellent company, a storm outside...
So now just about everyone has gone home for the holidays, and the dorms were locked to keycards at midday. International students have all been moved to the Language Houses, (which are just language-themed dorms), I'm in the French House. I'm in the room of this girl called Stefanie while she's away for Christmas, (she frightens me a bit actually). She has a Tv and a fridge and many many awesome zeitgeisty books and classic records. Unfortunately she has far too much stuff in here, and there's not much room for my luggage. Mind you, all my stuff seems to fit into a single drawer, so I shouldn't complain. I shouldn't complain, I should shop!! I need more stuff!
Sorry, I've still had very little sleep. Feeling slightly unfocused.

P.s. I just found out that the book sculpture outside Powell's has a man's ashes built into the centre of it, because he wanted to be buried at Powell's. Thanks for the info, Chuck Palahniuk!
