For anyone who is still on the fence - I can finally attest to the fact that drinking coffee with liquified candy corns at 7 PM is really not a good idea.

So, now that we're clear...

We can move on.

I was informed yesterday that Zach thinks I'm intimidating.

What?

I feel like I'm possibly the least intimidating person I know. I'm not quite sure what he meant by 'intimidating' and the jury's still out on whether it's a good or bad thing. I don't know if he means intimidating like in a sense that I'm confident... which would be false. I'm also the least confident person I know. But, over the course of my 16 not confident years, I have become DAMN good at faking it.

Wait. That sounded mildly dirty.

But, over the course of my 16 not confident years, I have become DAMN good at making myself appear confident, even when I'm a panicky nervous wreck on the inside.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter. The point is that I don't think I'm an intimidating person. I'm short and chubby and I have crazy hair and my former journalism teacher seems to think I'm mildly ugly (mugly) (another story for another day).

So - really epic BA story:
Today during newspaper, Tori, AJ and I went around harassing people and dragging them out of their study halls to help us with the shot for the cover. Since we're doing a High School Survival Guide for our Focus section, our cover is a little freshman running away from a group of sophomores, juniors and seniors with papers and mass chaos going on behind him. So we got this adorable little dweeby freshman and a group of people and go to this secluded hallway and start running and chasing and throwing papers and snapping pictures.

It was amazing.

By the end of our shoot, there were papers literally ALL OVER THE HALLWAY. And there was like four minutes left in the class period. Our newspaper adviser's husband, who's the culinary arts teacher comes into the hallway and says, "You guys have about four minutes left and the administration is on their way down here with a representative from OSU."

Woops. So here's this group of twelve of us scrambling to get all the papers back into the recycling bin and sprinting back to class. It was hilarious and I'm pretty sure AJ got some good shots. So hooray. But yes. That was the most entertaining part of my day.

Okay. Even though I'm still a little hopped up on my coffee, I'm going to try to get to sleep because I was exhausted before the caffeine took effect. So wish me luck!
