I love being home from college for summer, not a big fan of being in this house though.

Last full day in Buffalo tomorrow then back home tuesday after my final.

Final day of classes with my last Communication and Italian test (which I am very unprepared for). 

Then begins finals…kicking off with Stats thursday, and ending with World Civ the following Tuesday. Then as of May 4th, I put a close to this year of college.

Things I have to do before tomorrow’s flight back to buffalo

1. Pack
2. Clean my room (i make such a mess in 10 days)
3. Study for monday’s midterm
4. Write a 12 page paper for tuesday
5. Complete stats and communication extra credit
6. Have one last slice of GOOD pizza before going back to buffalo’s shitty ass pizza (seriously you guys fuck it up so much no offense)

Things I will do before tomorrow’s flight back to buffalo

1. Go hang out with some friends
2. Stay up late
3. Open my book flip through and go i know it all and close it within 30 seconds
4. Procrastinate my essay
5. GET GOOD PIZZA!

I sometimes drop Advil or food on the floor of my dorm room and think oh no the dog…then I realize I am in a dorm room there is no dog.

Studying:

Who said you can’t mix business and pleasure…Ladies and gentleman the leaders of tomorrow (myself included).

Today while going to hand in a housing deferment slip for next year I was walking through the maze they call my ub-ellicot and passed by…wait for it…a stormtrooper. Somebody dressed up in full gear.

Buffalo and college is more strange than I gave it credit for.

College midterms can suck it. 5 am I’m calling it a night, I always think of the nice night of sleep the teachers must get as the clock counts down to another painful test.

Waking up in a few hours…yeah it is my fault I am up this late but still its easier to outsource the blame.

At this rate I am going to die of caffeine overdose and sleep deprivation before I even get my degree.

Spring break where art thou?

Can we get this at UB that would be badass?

My random thought of the night (while junked up on cold medicine):

Normally I live by the code of take your time, haste makes waste…and I still feel attached to it. But at the same token I am coming to see that the opposite is far more rewarding.

Maybe it’s the cold medicine speaking but I am still thinking it. My body is physically sick but recently I found a reason to be happy and block out the rest (or at least come to close to it. Not entirely easy to block out the infinite amount of workload I had for school these past 2 weeks)…and it feels damn good.

Also another thing that makes me really happy is the new picture of my 10 month old nephew I received via phone. I both love my nephew and miss him so much (the rest of my family too), makes me sad to realize how much I miss out up while in B-Lo. But its a matter of days till I’m home.

It is  6:30 am I am still studying for Italian for my test tomorrow at 10:30 am. Leaving at 9 am. Which raises the all nighter question.

When you have to stay up studying for a test do you…

A) Sleep as much as possible even if its a hour or two
B) Limit yourself to a 20-30 power nap
C) Just stay up

Because I am leaning toward B at this point, but A is so tempting.  What would you do?

There is a ton of facebook groups pertaining to the “gunman” incident that happened today at my school (University at Buffalo) about cancelling class tomorrow until more is known since nobody was apprehended. I feel like this isn’t a solution because what if they never find the guy, cancel class forever? But at the same time I feel like I should be more worried than I am because that is a terrifying thing and this is a big target of a school that i live at. It may be wise for them to view the situation and try to see what they can find out and at least diffuse the situation. They apparently saw it on a camera and students saw it, fake or not is it is a good idea to at least try to figure out what happened. Surely human lives is more important than a day of classes. But then again I feel like a lot of people joining these groups are doing so just to get out of class but there is a legitimate reason to feel this way.

Then again this may be me speaking from the standpoint of someone who wants his Italian test pushed back. I really do feel like it was item confused for a gun because I guess i am under that ignorant naive stand point of “it could never happen to me”.

It sucks this is the world we live in today. That people are capable of horrible things like Virginia tech and so on…or anything that takes human lives.

Also I have a gripe with how the whole thing was handled. It was handled so poorly if it was a real emergency UB would have screwed so many people, put lives at risk. It was handled too calmly and too chill. I understand not creating a panic but you should at least alert students appropriately to a possible danger. New security cameras are in need.

There was reports of a gunman today at my school on the north campus. (I go to University at Buffalo for the unknowing) I was in Capen Library and got a phone call about something go down at Lockwood library. I had walked by there saw a few cops and thought nothing of it. Supposedly there were reports of a white male 5’9 with a rifle (or shotgun conflicting reports) and the place was evacuated. The school failed at making the situation (and still is) clear.

It seems as if its nothing but still. There was no official announcement in the library I was in which is one of the main libraries people found out through word of mouth. Which happened fast because all of the sudden tons and tons of people were crowding the doors to leave and the busses became super packed. Rumors of him having 2 cops hostage. Not sure what became of the situation but it seems as if they mistook the situation (it wasn’t a gun) or the guy got away which is scary likely in a school like this. It has been said the north campus (we have two campuses, I live on south but was at north at the time) is now safe but libraries and classes remained cancelled. It got my stats class cancelled which i normally would love if it wasn’t a much needed review for thursdays class.  In other news that Italian test I thought was friday is tomorrow…awesome.

Well thats my story for tonight. Night from the ever exciting city of Buffalo *sigh*. Luckily nothing (that we know) of transpired from the situation. Will keep you updated on anything interesting (which i doubt).
