Now is as good a time as ever

I am sitting by myself in a fairly small room in Sage Hall.  The building is almost empty.  Thursday is the day we the infamous “Sage Socials” and people tend to leave the building half drunk in order to go out to finish the job.  

Today we had the last Social for the semester, so they brought back the good food (this whole semester, Socials have been mainly chips and salsa since the university is trying to cut back on budget).  There were crab cakes, and shrimp, and cheese that was labeled “imported”.  Since it was the last one A LOT of people came. Now at least half of the school is in something called “Johnson Follies”.  I decided not to go to the Follies, and actually didn’t stay long at the Social because I am working on my final project for the Marketing Immersion.  I decided to work through our data using SPSS, so that I wouldn’t have to do anything tonight or tomorrow and I’d be free to help Uri with his huge catering event (more on that tomorrow or on Sunday or Monday) - Incredibly enough I actually found something that looks like it’s worthwhile.   However, being here alone, the only thing I could really do in my little cathartic moment was change my Facebook status to “Tamar decided that she is SPSS queen”.  Now I’m sitting here waiting for Uri to come pick me up, and then I remembered you guys!  

But as luck would have it, Uri is supposed to be here in around 5 minutes.  It leaves me time to tell you just a small tidbit of something that happened while I wasn’t blogging – John Cleese was here! Apparently he comes to Cornell quite often.  Uri and I (along with some other friends) went to see him lecture.  It was quite funny and thoughtful.  He said some things that really made me think – specifically about the relationship between creativity and stress.  Also about how when people do what they truly want to be doing, life seems to align in a manner that circles come together.  More on those if I ever get back to having enough time to philosophize. That’s it.
