Spiderman - not so yummy

This week was mostly pretty quiet with my being sick and all, but now I'm better and things are getting back to normal. I have my first exam on Friday, and already I'm tired of studying for it. Not that I've been really studying for it. We have had 36 lectures already, so I've spent most of my time catching up on those. And then I'll have to go back and review them all over again. Considering I have a week and it's all material I'm pretty familiar with, I'm not all that worried. . .I'm just annoyed at the amount of material.

Anyway, our college mentor had a party for us on Friday night. I didn't realize it was optional as there were a few people who didn't show up. They made it seem pretty mandatory. The first 20 minutes were pretty excruciatingly painful. Apparently, I'm a grown up now, so all conversations will consist of grown-up things or be about school. I don't think you could have counted the number of ways I imagined hurting people until they stopped talking. On the other hand, I also don't like talking about stupid things I equate with high school. It's kind of a fine line.

Unacceptable topics of conversation include: 1. Grey's Anatomy - just because I'm going to be a doctor doesn't mean I like this show, in fact I find it insufferable. Apparently women are now ok with being stereotyped as illogical, highly emotional twits. Thanks Grey's. 2. School - We're all there together 24/7, seeing and doing the same things, do we really need to keep talking about it? 3. Who's hot - There's a list of the hottest guys and girls in the class made by people who went through facebook and ranked everybody. . .this is fucking worse than high school.

Acceptable topics of conversation: 1. Anything that ends with a joke or set up for a joke. 2. Good TV, like The Office, which generally ends up with trading funny lines from the show. 3. Funny stories. . .Basically anything that's not particularly serious and ends up in much laughter wins with me.

The one cool thing about the party was that our mentor dude stopped an ice cream truck and bought us all ice cream. It was the greatest thing ever. I got the Spiderman ice cream bar. . .which turned out to be the most sugar-y, artificial color filled ice cream bar ever. About half way through the bar I started getting really jittery from all the sugar, so I stopped eating it. It was still pretty awesome though.

I'm literally not believing how soon I'm coming home. Since I'll be flying out right after my exam, I have to get trashed on the plane (life is so hard). My brother already filled me in on the proper way to do so, and one of the rare cool girls in my class is flying out with me. So this should be fun.
