saturday: flippy cup, elevator, and snow

i went back to college on saturday night. although i didn't go back to poughkeepsie to stomp around vassar, i had a typical college night out; i could very well have been back in the living room of b8. for the first time since i left, i played flippy cup. ah, what a useful skill it is to be able to turn over an empty plastic cup with two fingers. needless to say, i have lost that skill as the cocktail glass (and occassional sand pail) has completely replaced the solo cup in my book. like bowling, flippy cup is a game you should not be good at.

several games later, i left the crowded apartment with friends to go to a club down the street. we divided between the hallway's two elevators. apparently, i chose the wrong one. junior jumped, and our elevator stopped in between the fifth and sixth floors. i am terrified of small spaces, especially those that can plummet eight stories down a shaft. after some patient waiting, also known as sitting in the corner with eyes closed, we escaped.

we walked out of the building and into the first snow of the season. for five minutes, i was excited about korea again.
