Finally made it to Kapadokia. The south east was extremely hot and not as interesting as I had hoped. Something I ate there made me sick, but I think I'm recovering. I'll be at this hotel for three nights, then in a different place every night with one exception. I did some pretty cool stuff in the past few days like climb to the top of a mountain ( Read more... )

Posting from Istanbul... from an Internet cafe, unfortunately. Theres free wireless at the hotel but I didnt think to bring my laptop (probably for the best). Im having a very good time here - the city is much nicer and cleaner than I remember from when I was 7 years old.

Having a 10AM class messed up my sleep cycle more than I would have thought possible. I got so little sleep on Monday night that I couldn't stay up all day yesterday and consequentially barely slept last night. I have classes until 8PM tonight and then I need to write a philosophy paper... before the next 10AM class!! I feel awful right now ( Read more... )

The fall schedule is up! Does this sound like the coolest class ever or what:

...and I saw Once Upon A Time In America, which is really awesome.

Last week was horrible. I had been thinking about my history paper for awhile, but I only managed to start stringing words together last Sunday night when I got back from San Francisco. I actually made significant progress that night and I was encouraged, but further progress was sporadic. I completed it with a lot of time for editing and I was ( Read more... )

I haven't been missing my car since I stopped using it regularly. I used to feel dependent on it, but I get by rarely using it. I even stopped using the bus system entirely. I can get to most destinations by bicycle ( Read more... )
