I am writing this in my last hour this term at Bennington. Sasp is slithering up my sleeve and it tickles.  This place is pretty incredible. Yet, I feel as thought I am just having a bunch of crazy and random and amazing experiences, as opposed to this being my new life and my new home.  I look at the kids who are not freshman here, and completly ( Read more... )

So I realized that since I have came here I have not had time to do any updates where I just go through the events of my day, so today is that day ( Read more... )

 This weekend is going to be INTENSE-100percent like Degrassi
but not in a good/interesting way like Degrassi, in a boring homework way.
I have to read two books plus other research in order to write a 12 page miniumum paper. I don't know how I am going to manage..but I will try. 
There is like 3240923 interesting things going o nthis weekend too. But ( Read more... )

I felt as though I was doing really well with the whole college/ anxiety about being  home thing, but I guess it just hits people at different times. Most people right away, then they get use to it. Not I. When I first got here, up until like now, I was thinking that I had a great experience in life thus far and now is the appropriate time to move ( Read more... )

Ever since I realized it was the 10 year anniversary I have been thinking about it so much more, and appropriatly so becoming even more senstive to the issue.  What was I to do to commerate it? Not go to any classes or work-spend the day mourning? Where all black? Set aside a time for reflection?

10 years ago at this hour he was gone, but I was ( Read more... )

This weekend is oh so exiciting. 
First! Thursday night I checked my mail before I was ready to sit down and start some serious work on my Feild Work Term-as in figuring out what the heck I wanted to..andcould actually do (a very daunting task). In my mail was a replied email that I sent out a month ago not expecting a reply.
I got an internship at ( Read more... )

I hate anything impersonal. With a student teacher ratio of 9 to 1 you would think I would not be having a problem with this.
Today is a day of low self esteem.  Generally weekdays are really high stress causing an overwhelming feeling-its sad the extent of awesome things here I am missing.
But I seem to have pretty wonderful weekends. This weekend ( Read more... )

I have been wanting to make an update for so long, but sadly I feel like I never have time.  There is so much that I love about this place, needless to say the one word to best describe my situation would be "drowning."  As in, I ( Read more... )

I  get this feeling sometimes. I feel like I want to disapeer, or cease to exist. It always occurs when I am with one or more people. Seeing as how I can not magically disapeer, and dramatic exits are not my thing I just kind of go within myself. I guess it is impossible to describe in words-and really that is my problem at these times..I can never ( Read more... )

Today was an interesting day. It was pretty random therefore I would consider it a good day. It’s funny because the type of events surrounding would make anyone be like “Damn, that sucks” but to someone like me or Laura it would be like something to reflect upon and laugh-we are all about memorable moments, good and bad. I woke up at Josh’s this ( Read more... )
