Movie with friends when I should be working

Hey! Faith here. So I am currently watching a movie with my friends in my dorm. I'm supposed to be writing my counseling paper or doing something else productive. However, there were plans for a movie tonight and I was the only one out of the loop. That's alright though. I really like hanging out with my friends. It's my senior year so time with them is short.

So I got a short break to play Fallout 3 today. It's a really immersive game. You can really get into it and there's so much to do. Today I completed two assignments for some random supplies woman who asked me to be her research assistant/experiment. My first assignment was to go to a supermarket and see if I could find food and medicine. The entire landscape is ravaged due to a nuclear war and feral animals and raiders roam the wasteland and she wants me to go to the supermarket? Well, of course the food and medicine were all gone and the place was full of raiders. After being shot at by the raiders, finding out that my gun had absolutely no affect on them, and running out of the supermarket twice, I decided to go in using stealth to complete the mission. By the way, has anyone noticed how unrealistic it is that your enemies forget you when you walk out of the building and walk by in? I'm glad it works that way though, imagine if they chased me for a mile! I managed to collect some food from a fridge in some random room. All the shelves in the supermarket were either empty or full of empty, bent tin cans. When I returned to the supplies woman she was sad and concerned that raiders were in the place and she had put me in danger. I find that weird because she happens to live in a town where a common greeting would be "Tell someone who cares!"
My next assignment was to expose myself to radiation and accumulate 600 rads. I decided to stand in the radiated puddle in the middle of town between the undetonated atomic bomb and the preaching, atomic bomb worshiping cult leader. Needless to say, I've never been in that situation in a video game before. The supplies woman said she would take care of my radiation after she studied me. She made the cure herself but it had never been tested before. Lucky me. The cure worked amazingly, but I ended up with a mutation. My first thought was "Oh crap, now I have a third arm growing out of my chest or something" but the mutation isn't visible. In fact, it's useful. Now when I get radiation poisoning my limbs will automatically heal all damage. Weird but I'm not complaining.

Well after that I had to go to work. Tried to read and/study but didn't make much progress. When I got off work and made my way to the dorm I saw something both strange and unexpected and random. Four RA's were standing on the sidewalk. Two were wrapping the other two in toilet paper. Then the two wrapped RA's raced each other down the sidewalk where two other RA's unwound them. It had something to do with our dorm spring party/picnic/thing, though I don't know what. There was Domino's pizza and some other snacks in the lobby. Now I'm watching this movie with my friends. It's called French Kiss. It's weird, awkward, and oddly entertaining. lol. Anyway, I'm going to get off here.
