Okay, so forgive me if my English is a little off--switching my brain back and forth is a little odd at the moment. This is all copied from the email I sent everyone ( Read more... )

To begin, my 4 days at Smith was EXACTLY what I'd needed. I had become rather depressed and I really think I just needed to touch base with my current comfort zone, and the knowledge that I wouldn't get to (plus that I might never see some of my friends again--those graduating) really upset me. However, now I am feeling pretty content. I got to ( Read more... )

I had a sudden flip out today and did a quick search (not actually expecting to find anything) and found a cheap Delta ticket to Hartford, and I remembered that I still had a travel voucher through Delta that I had to use before February. So, I'll be at Smith from Wednesday to Saturday (and I think I'll even be in time for Convocation!!!) I've ( Read more... )

Okay, so I decided to import my LJ into Facebook for people to see and read if they are interested in what I'm doing. (Why not? I'll be in flipping ITALY.) It's still really surreal at the moment, but the reality is sinking in slowly as I think about the fact that I need to be packing soon ( Read more... )

I've been kind of playing with the internet tonight, and finally started the blog I'd wanted, called Overheard in the South, and I want people to email me with weird random things they hear wherever they are in the South and I'll post them anonymously on the blog. Tell your friends about it too. One of my friends started Overheard in the Valley ( Read more... )

You know, I was thinking...if I had stayed in NYC, I wouldn't have been able to come back home because the train I take back to Chicago goes through Ohio and it's flooding there now, which is when I'd have been on my way back. Somehow following my intuition always ends up taking care of me. It's moments like that when God makes his/hers/its ( Read more... )

Okay, I thought I'd post since I haven't in a while and then I'm actually going to go to bed because I haven't done that in a while either ( Read more... )

I'm really sorry I didn't get to come over to the various houses the other day--what I had to do took longer than I'd expected, and I needed a nap before work. :( And I cannot believe that I spent yet another summer in its entirety without seeing Irene. I mean, we hung out that one day in May, but geez. This has to stop, my friend. *shakes head ( Read more... )

I know it seems like I've fallen off the face of the planet since camp, and I apologize for that...it's been crazy. I got a job at the gas station close to the pool, so I'm working night shift there and then working at the pool during the day, so whenever I'm not working I'm sleeping (except for these brief forays into real life that I take when I ( Read more... )

I realized I didn't get to say an official, "goodbye, I'm off to camp!" but I'm at camp right now. Actually, I'm on break and so ran into town to get on the internet for the first time in almost 2 weeks....eep. I can't believe I can do that ( Read more... )
