So, I think I have a plan for watching season 2 of The Office. It should be done downloading by Thursday, so on Friday I can watch it all afternoon and night (it's only 20-ish minutes per episode, so I should be done by like midnight, maybe a little later). Then I'll have all of Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (well, after school gets out, and the times when I'm not playing Pomp and Circumstance 4000000000 times through) to study. That's plenty of time for 3 finals, one of which I only need between like a 75-80 on the final, and none of them are ones like my Euro final last semester when I had to reread half the book. So, it should work out.

Yearbooks came out today. I love yearbooks very much, so this was very exciting for me. However, when I finally got through waiting in line in the hot sun for 20 minutes, they didn't have my name down on the list. And I totally knew I had gotten one, too, because as I said I love yearbooks and I always get one and I even remembered a conversation I was having with my mom about whether or not to get the video yearbook in addition. They told me to get a receipt from the Student Activities Center proving I had, so I went down there, and they checked, and they also said I hadn't bought one. And I kept saying "But I know I bought one!" and they were like "...do you want me to show you?" and they turned the computer screen around and sure enough, it wasn't on there. And I was just like "...but... wtf?! I totally bought one!" and she was going down the list and was all like "See, it's not here! ...uh. But wait. ...you paid the band fee twice..." And I was all "...uh?" and she was all "Oops. I guess whoever did your registration last year put in band fee twice rather than yearbook once and band fee once. Sorry about that." ugh. Such unneeded stress. But I ended up getting mine just as the bell for the end of lunch rang, so all is well now.

Anyways, I think overall the yearbook looks really good, but the only really sucky thing is that there's nowhere to sign! There are not inserted blank pages like there usually are, and the front and back inside covers are all covered with pictures so you can't really write over them! I mean, most of the point people like yearbooks is getting them signed, and I don't understand how they didn't think "Hm, perhaps people might actually want room to sign in this!" blah. Oh well. There's also a video yearbook that I'm planning to watch later.

The Office has completely taken over my brain. gah. I can't really concentrate on anything else right now. This bodes well for finals and studying for finals. Hopefully I'll be over it slightly once I've actually seen all the episodes, because now I'm just like "omg I must watch season 2".

Yay for joining The Office fandom! lol Isn't it the most hilarious show! I ♥ it soo much! When did you start watching it?

I got my yearbook yesterday, I'm super paranoid and thought something like that was going to happen to me but luckily my name didn't get lost and it was on the list. lol

It is pretty funny, and I've only seen season 1 so far, but I hear season 2 is even better. I actually just started watching it... Monday, I think? I watched all of season 1 Monday, fell in love, and now I'm itching to watch season 2.

When I was waiting in line, this girl came up to her friends and was all "OMG I totally bought a yearbook and they said they don't have my name!" and I was like "...whoa, I didn't think about that happening. Well, whatever, she probably just thought she got one but didn't. I'm sure I got one" and then I went up there and they couldn't find my name anywhere and I was all "...oh, shit." But luckily it's all sorted out now.

You are going to flip over Season 2. I swear. Because as lovely as Season 1 is, there is absolutely no comparison. Your brain will NEVER be the same! Never! Ever!

....as you can see, it has clearly turned me into an insane fangirl. And I've never been happier.

Oh, man, I can't wait until I watch season 2. And I'm pretty sure what I wrote in my post about waiting until Friday is a lie, because it turns out this is downloading faster than I thought and it'll be done by tonight around like 9 or 9:30, so I can totally watch at least like 4 episodes tonight, and then the rest Friday. eee, I can't wait! :D

Heh, it's bizarre how fangirlish I've gotten over this so fast. I guess this show just does this to people. But yeah, it's definitely making me very giddy.

Yay for watching The Office!! S2 is sooo good! *is excited for you*
It's annoying having to study when you're just getting into a new obsession, though...blech. Makes it very hard to concentrate. :)

Hee, I'm excited for me too. Ah, I can't wait until it finishes downloading!

It is, but I'm already obsessing over it now (probably should've waited to start season 1), so I figure the sooner I get through season 2, the less obsessed I'll be next week. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself so I don't feel so guilty for starting season 2 tonight, as soon as it finishes downloading. ;)
