Things I learned in college:

The universe, much like Arthur Bellinzoni, does not give extensions. Get used to it.

There is no such thing as good cheap beer.

Short women take up the same amount of width in bed as do tall women.

When you're trying to fit two people in a twin bed, a wall is worth about a third of the width of a twin bed. In either direction.

Dark-colored carpets look better than light-colored carpets.

You may never use calculus again, but the ability to be absolutely quiet while having sex in your dorm room is worth millions.

Sleep is worth more than eyeshadow.

Save early, save often.

It was an exciting* weekend. No, really. I have new curtains, finally (I've had the bits for forever, never assembled them). Arabella is settled in for her long winter's nap (sans kerchief or cap). I can see the top of the table in the sewing room. The living room looks almost habitable.

Friday night there was Indian food and fire (yay fire!). Saturday there was cleaning, and motorcycle, and more cleaning, and curtains. Sunday there were lightbulbs, and there was cleaning, and grocery shopping. And chili.

*This is the new flexible definition of "exciting".

I am not entirely sure how my new alarm is working or not. It appears to have a design fault in that the snooze button is also the on/off button. More investigation is necessary.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure one should *not* hear clicky grindy sounds when you rotate your arm at the shoulder.
