Sorry for the last incomprehensive xanga entry..I just realized how hard it is to follow.
YAY! I'm done with finals now...but I am dead beat tired. My last in-class final left me in ambivalence! But many thanks Rolphie! You're a bud.
Who is Rolphie?
Rolphie is my new spider friend who is currently trapped in my lampshade. He's been doing circles in there all night long while I've been studying. He kept me up quite well cuz I was afraid that he might jump out and attack me if I fell asleep on my desk. So I would read for 10 minutes and glance over to make sure he was still there. There were instances where his silhouette was nowhere to be seen from my standpoint, and those were the times when I got a nice little adrenaline rush, anticipating his next revolution around the shade. Kept me up, alert, and productive...for the most part. But the weird thing is...he was very phantom like. Cuz when I would check under the lampshade, he was nowhere to be found. But 15 seconds later, a silhoutte appears! No. It is not a figment of my imagination.

Finals DONE!

So...Rolphie is no longer. 
I thought naming him Rolphie would make it less scary...and personifying him would be a guard against my screaming loudly if he were to drop out of the lampshade. Boy was I wrong. When I came home from my final, Rolphie was nowhere to be found in the lamp. As I was checking my email routinely and on the phone...when hippity-hop out scampers Rolphie across my wall!! How did I react? Yup. Screamed. More like shrieked!...I think I startled 
on the other line...would not be surprised if he had to see an ENT to get his drums checked out later. After I maintained my composure, I smashed the jumping spider with my pencil case...but then I felt a little bit sad. I wish he had stayed in his home...I could have spared him his life there.
But Char did have a point....I told her I took a nap at from 4am-5am and left the lamp on for Rolphie. When I woke up he was still there, so I told her about him when she came out of slumber, and how helpful he was in keeping me alert...
Her response:
"Eww you should have killed him when you had the chance! What if he got out of the lampshade and crawled up your nose and laid spide-y eggs?"
My response:
"Char. What if HE crawled in my nose and LAID eggs?!? If that were to be the case HE would have more problems than me. For me, I could just pick them out and smear them on your pillow, but the last time I checked, only seahorses and pipefishes were victims of male-egnancy."
RIP Rolphie 
Also, much thanks to everyone who called me at 3am, 4am and 5am...It made me refocus my dream on accounting...but did little to pry me out of bed.
