I have so much studying to do/I have to write my paper/I am SO going to fail/I can't wait for break

I realized something interesting over dessert at Ram's Horn at 3:30 am the night before thanksgiving. we spent most of high school trying to be the same as everyone else. now we get to college, and most people realize that they have no identity of their own. thus we now spend our time figuring out who we are. without getting all deep and stuff, I think this is an important thing to just contemplate.

it has come to my attention that some college students are embroiled in what are called 'finals'. its funny, because you don't hear much about this from people. it is very rare that I have a conversation with someone that starts and/or ends with them telling me all of the stuff they have to do before they can go home for break. and by rare I mean not rare. isn't it funny how this is all we can think and talk about? I say spend less time talking about what you have to do, and more time actually doing it. or at least doing something fun. who wants to go see a movie?

also, is there a good way to clean 8 nights of wax from a menorah? I tried the old hot water thing, but with less than spectacular results. maybe I should invent the self-cleaning menorah ... ... patent pending, patent pending, patent pending!
