Daniela, Tawna, and Samantha are in the library computer lab with me, we’re blogging and typing and researching, it’s fun. Molly and I went around to some stores today, bantering and stuff, it was fun. Kind of like an Edward random trip, but different, mostly because it was raining. (Oh my god, Dan just came in and said that I had a phone call in the office: it was my mother. She wanted me to do long-distance technical support IN THE COLLEGE OFFICE. I have said this a million times to her, and i will say it again; I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOUR COMPUTER. I CANNOT FIX IT IF I AM 3,000 MILES AWAY. Somehow she doesn’t understand this.) Anyway, after our little jaunt, Molly, Amy, and I went to Circle J for a layout meeting, we didn’t really get much accomplished, but we kind of made sure we were all on the same page. It was somewhat productive. I had sushi and chocolate cake, the combination gave me a glorious stomachache, but it was SO delicious. I love wasabi. But anyway, we came back, and I had to go to English. It was actually quite edifying. I saw Daniela after class, and we went to talk by the art building. She has some amazing ideas for the Drift, organizational things. She’s typing them up at the computer beside me.

Some of the good ideas I’ve heard so far from everyone:

- Deadlines that people actually need to follow
- Another member for the layout team
- A limit of two or three stories per reporter
-”Working schedules” for the Drift computer, i.e. each person signs up for a certain time period on a computer
- another one but I forgot it but it was cool

Got up, got dressed (wore my newly black trenchcoat, it looks splendorific, although I think I should get black buttons for it, the green ones look weird. Went to school, napped until 10:00, wandered around dazedly until I realized I needed to go into the library and work on my research paper. I found one great article, I only need six or seven more. I’m doing it on the causes of teenage smoking in the US. OMG I just looked on my assignment and it’s due the 26th! I’ll have plenty of time. I’m going to find and print out all my resources today, maybe make the works cited page tomorrow, and write it perhaps this weekend. I got an e-mail from Molly, she said she’d start looking for me at 10:30 and it’s 10:17, so I think I’ll get a few more resources and go look for her. The layout team is having a layout lunch today, I haven’t seen Amy yet, but that’s probably because I’ve been cloistered up in this library all morning. Well, I have ten minutes, so I’d better get researching.
