Day in the life:

Emma Lawler '09

1 a.m. My weekly ritual, Sunday Night Elimidate, is ruined. Damn you, UPN. Nobody even likes sci-fi shows.

8:25 a.m. I have to leave right now if I'm going to get to class on time. I rememeber I havent brushed my teeth. Brush or class? I go for class. And smoke a cigarette.

9:01 a.m. Really regretting not brushing my teeth. Fuzzy teeth are gross.

12:00 p.m. I eat a ridiculous lunch of almost all french fries, because I am too lazy for lines.

12:43 p.m. Some boy I don't know asks how it feels to give myself cancer as he walks by. So you all know, it feels great, thanks.

2:05 p.m. Work at Saints Rest. I have an elderly customer that always comes and says he forgot his wire cutter. To, you know, help me get this metal out of my face. He always laughs for a ridiculous amount of time after this joke. He also talks about how much he loooooves Wal-Mart.

7:00-8:15 p.m. Think about the hilarity in the fact that my "Day in the Life" day coincides with my Judicial Committe appointment. Hopefully this will start my new "I'm a huge bad-ass" image off on the right foot.

10:00 p.m. Have an impromtu sleepover. I, in a sleepy daze, mistakenly make a joke about how I make out with my hand for practice until I finally get a boyfriend. I will never live it down.
