Chronicle Number Eleven: Is That Your Sneaky Run?

This chronicle is named "Is That Your Sneaky Run?" because that is the precise question that Corinne asked not five minutes ago. It went something like this:

CORINNE: Is that your sneaky run?
LINDSAY: Why yes, why yes it is.
CORINNE: It's very good. I nearly couldn't see you.

The reasons we were sneakily running need not be made known to the general public. Just rest safely in the knowledge that it was in the interests of your intrepid teenage hero, and thus, in your own interests.

So, that thing called school. It is going quite well, actually, I think. The last two weeks (pretty much since you heard from me last), have consisted generally of Study!Lindsay and Insane!Lindsay switching off. Last weekend I went to Florida with the Quizbowl, which was super fun/AIGH GET ME OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW. The AGMOoHRN time was mainly when I was in the car, and when my dear teammates were seemingly attempting to kill each other.

Well, something that redeemed the weekend, and something that I have found to be extraordinarily amusing- Drunk people!

A couple of the guys (over 21, y'all) apparently have a tradition of getting super drunk the night before quizbowl. (Neither of them driving, y'all) For the sake of privacy, let's call them Bert and Ernie. The night for Bert and Ernie consisted of 1) singing in polish, 2) singing in russian 3) fighting about which was better, Poland or Germany.

Hilarity ensued, especially when Bert would tap Ernie lightly on the shoulders, and Ernie would fall over. Or when Ernie would try to walk over to Bert, and then fall over. Or when Ernie would try and convince me that he wasn't drunk- and then fall over.

So that was special. I've decided that while I still shall not get drunk, watching other people do it is okay.

The rest of quizbowl was good. I rode back in the car with Okon, Christine, and Steven, which ensured hilarity.

After that, the week erupted into madness, as it seems my life is wont to do. Had a calculus test on Tuesday (went okay, not sure how I feel about it, but I'm not crying into a bowl of oatmeal, am I?) had lab on Wednesday, and a chem test on Thursday, on which I got a 93! W00t.

I'm leaving now, to attempt to catch up in history, which I had woefully abandoned in an attempt to learn everything else. Much love, everyone, and don't worry-

We will attain Lindsaytopia!

Hey Lindsay ... LOL at your observation of your inebriated quiz bowl teammates and I like your attitude of being an observer rather than a participant.

Double, make that triple, WOOT, at your 93 in chemistry. You are like totally fabulous, totally, what's the world I'm looking for ... oh yah ... lindsayriffic!

Your approach is like totally, I mean like 100% opposed to my freshman outlook to my studies, which means, you got your head screwed on right and you're "headed" (a pun that I didn't mean) in the right direction my lovely daughter.

Keep up the great work, attitude, and point your life's browser to hilarity whenever possible. Search for balance in all things, but remember to be humble and unafraid to laugh at yourself and certainly with others.

Je t'aime beaucoup,
ton pere

93 in chemistry is definitely worth a WOOT! WOOT! Be aware that drunk people are often hilarious but can sometimes be scary or gross, so be careful. I am glad you had fun in Florida. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
love, MOM
P.S. I can't wait to see the "sneaky run" demonstrated!
