An Excellent Saturday

Somehow, for the first time since arriving at college, I had a Saturday that was totally free of obligations. That is, if you ignore homework...which I pretty much did. 

It was also FORTY-FIVE DEGREES (!) out, which felt like summer paradise, so friend L and friend S and I took the bus down to the Commons and did a little thrifting. Friend L treated us with her ridiculous gift card to Starbucks, and I nearly passed out due to the sheer wonder of it all. 

I rarely leave campus, and so doing so and also getting a little taste (literally) of civilization was so refreshing and relaxing. Then all the Boot girls came together and experienced the amazingness that is One Tree Hill season one.  I probably shouldn't have introduced this addiction to my dorm, but hey. It was fun. So it was pretty much an excellent Saturday. 

Friday night friend L and I headed over to the Ben Light Gymnasium and took in half of the women's and all of the men's basketball games. It was crazy fun to cheer along with the packed house, and we really beat down on Hartwick in both cases. It was also kind of cool to see the student media in action. 

Today, I am locking myself in my room, save for meals, and working. And writing blogs. And probably distracting myself. 

But I WILL be productive! 

**EDIT

Okay, so I SAID I was only going to work today, but then I saw this SNL video and realized, I needed it on my blog.
