craziness of the end of the quarter

thursday started with me being kinda nervous about my lab final. i took it, went down to the computer lab to burn my powerpoint presentation onto a cd from my zip disk. but my disk was unreadable. and i wasn't about to redo my powerpoint 2 hrs before the class. so i went to class and wrote out what i was going to say. i was 1 of 3 who didn't do a powerpoint presentation. which sucked. the class has 19 ppl in it. each person was given 10 minutes to present and 5 for questions. so 15 minutes per person. which is about 5 hrs. the class is 3. so we ended up taking 4 hrs to present. which sucked. b/c the class ended at 9pm. so we were all cranky, tired, and hungry. but our professor, nate, said that after class we could go to a bar after class. as a "yay, the quarter's over!" thing. so we did. we went to 99 bottles, a bar that sells about 103 different beers with a card system so that after you drink 99 different beers, you get a mini plaque on the wall. after 9 plaques, you get a brick. but ppl with bricks probably have liver failure now. anyways, nate was there and so were most of the people from the class. which was really cool. i'd never done that before. go out with a professor. and he said that all the drinks were on him. but alot of us bought pitchers on our own and thursdays are all day happy hour prices. also, we didn't let him pay. another guy from the class, ivan, paid for it. which i felt kinda bad about. the class should have split the bill. oh well. we left 99 to go to the blue lagoon. because by that point, being the alcoholics that we are, we felt like dancing. thursdays at the blue is 80's night. nate bought us drinks there. he surprised me by getting scotch. ivan, nate, and i had scotch, others had run and cokes, etc. then we danced. i thought the whole night was really cool. i've never done that before. the whole night was full of surprises. nate's a scotch guy, he dances, and i must seem alcoholic to him. having nate there kind of made me feel weird though. b/c he's still my professor. and the anthro dept. really isn't big. ah well. i went in to see him today to ask about my presentation. b/c he gave everyone else in the class questions but not me. and i need that kind of validation. i can't get a paper back that just says "good" on it. i need comments. and he seemed fine. or he was hiding it well. i think he was hiding it well. there are some professors that i know i'd never go out with. but others.. maybe. nate especially. just because he's not much older than us.
