Okay, so, past few days. Wow ( Read more... )

So, this whole externship experience is turning out to be a little teeny bit of shadowing and a LOT of crazy random Chicago vacationing. Which is fine with me, although I am actually really interested in court interpreting, so I kind of wish I got to see more of it. But anyhow, there have been fun times aplenty. They include ( Read more... )

Okay, so, today was the first day of my externship! And it was SWEET!!! I got up at 7:00 AM, got room service (mwahahaha), and then left around 8:00. I had to drive straight through downtown Chicago during rush hour, which is not exactly an experience I care to repeat. People are assholes, and many of them cannot drive at all. I hate people.

Well, today has certainly been interesting. I had class at 9:00 AM this morning--any guesses as to what time I woke up? That would be 8:55...haha. I would have just skipped, except we had a paper due. Miraculously, I managed to get there at 9:05, wearing all the right articles of clothing and everything. Anyhow, I've kind of been in a daze all ( Read more... )

I was in a very good mood today, and it was nice. Also kind of odd, because this week is academic hell for me. Anyhow, some interesting things that have happened recently ( Read more... )

Today was weird. Just...weird. I don't know how else to describe it. I got about 5 hours of sleep last night because I've randomly become an insomniac this year. Woke up, took my poli sci midterm (which was pretty easy, I think...I hope), went to Arabic class, was really spacey. Zoned out to Mylene Farmer for an hour and a half at my job, ( Read more... )

Today at AIESEC, I was talking with Rhiannon about the International Studies major here, and how it kind of sucks, and I was saying how the IR program was better organized at Tufts. And then out of nowhere, Leah jumped in and started criticizing me for transferring here and asking me why in the world I would leave such a great International ( Read more... )

It's 1:00 AM, but I don't want to go to bed, because then it will be tomorrow and I will have to start studying for my PS 283 midterm. However, the Oscars are tomorrow! Woot ( Read more... )

GAAAAH AIESEC has taken over my life! But I'm okay with that. I just spent 3 hours at various organizational meetings. It was lots of fun, though. We watched this comedy show on TV where the guy was basically joking about all these different cultural stereotypes, and it was hilarious. We also did one of the famous AIESEC dances (it was Cotton ( Read more... )

Oh my God. Last night. I don't even know where to begin. I went to the AIESEC Mardi Gras party, and it totally kicked ass. I rushed over to Leah and Anna's house after the basketball game, worried that I would be late...and I was one of the first people there. Oh well. We had a yummy dinner with "drinks"--mwahahaha. And I wasn't even being ( Read more... )
