So this year I'm living in Trumbull, in a five-person suite that is, finally, drama-free (the past two years...not so much). Even though I'm still in a double, it's fine and life in the suite is, for the most part, happy and relaxed. Plus channeling a strong Parisian theme what with the 3 posters of the Eiffel Tower and roses from Daena's boyfriend ( Read more... )

A couple weeks ago my art professor took our class on a trip to The Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, about half an hour away from campus. There was a steady drizzle outside and about half the class, including the TAs, clutched coffee cups as they climbed onto the bus.

This is ridiculous. I'm such an overachiever that the one bad grade I get on a history paper freaks me out like no other. We got our Birth of Europe papers back today, and granted, I wasn't too pleased about the paper when I turned it in, but the grade still bothered me. Of course I then got really mad and wrote an exasperated email to my mom about ( Read more... )

I like coffee a lot (Amelie yells at me when I get my second cup at lunch) but this is ridiculous.

You are a Black Coffee

I started to write this and found it had no point. It was really two entries in one (I was, after all, meaning to write about the astronomy class, and then the wind was so intense--which I'm sure you all want to read about--that I just HAD to write today), so for your reading pleasure (or boredom), two for your money ( Read more... )
