Yeah. In keeping with the title of this entry, I have no idea what day of Chanukah it is anymore. I didn't even know today was Sunday until I woke up this morning and was cursing myself for having slept through chemistry (I was having a particularly difficult time sleeping last night because I'd had so many cups of coffee during the day and so I ( Read more... )

In the Rock (Rockefeller Library; I maintain that some parts of it resemble Alcatraz), attempting to work on my Gravestones paper, and failing miserably, because of sentences like these:
Orgy participants in medieval Europe reportedly kissed a cat's posterior before joining in the group debasement and debauchery. Sometimes cats were included in the ( Read more... )

And I am done with my German paper. It's absolute shit. I tried to edit it and then found myself questioning simple things, like my conjugations of common verbs in the present tense. That was when I realized that I was (and still am) in no state of mind to edit a German paper and decided to just submit it before the midnight deadline. So, I'm done ( Read more... )

So I'm sitting here in Arnold Lounge and I'm starting to think that, rather than my ex-roommate moving out, perhaps I should have been the one to switch rooms--to switch into here. After all, I've fallen asleep here two nights in a row: apparently last night I curled up in a ball at about 3 on one of the couches and cursed loudly at people who ( Read more... )

So my trip to "Pet Memorial Park" was absolutely god-awful. First, even though I woke up at 8, I still ended up having to run down the hill to Kennedy Plaza to catch the bus to Boston Foxboro. Then I got there and ended up taking an uber-sketchy taxi to the cemetery. So I poked around for a bit. SO anti-climactic. It was basically a field with the ( Read more... )

That's about the extent of my Spanish. Fuck you, Summer Plus and Spanish Made Fun! tapes. All the Spanish I learned as a seven-year old (la escuela... el banjo? y mi casa) has been pretty much forgotten. Except for when we studied explorers in fifth grade and we got to Cabeza de Vaca. I was so cool because I knew his name meant "head of cows." Yup ( Read more... )

So it's 5:15 and I am half-way done writing a paper for my Gravestones class. I'm having a hard time feeling pressured; I have a vague enough idea of what I want to say. I feel like this paper will write itself and that I really don't need to worry about it. However, I started writing it at around 10... fell asleep for a bit, continued around 12:15 ( Read more... )

Perhaps I should have gone to Reed. I think the lack of sports teams and more intellectual atmosphere probably would fit me better ( Read more... )

I am a white male, of English and German descent. My coloration is characteristically Semitic; I have eyes so dark I can't see my pupils and hair almost to match. I once had lighter, red-brown hair, but that changed over time. I have a nose of roughly average size, perhaps a bit smaller than stereotypically associated with those of my religion. I ( Read more... )

Ok, well, first off, I don't think I actually expected people to "apply." Secondly, those of you who did, thanks, and I'll create a friends filter for my "confidantes," though don't expect me to write too much; I rarely update this livejournal. I'll talk to you online, I guess. And, to answer Lusann's question... I have no idea how I'd judge these ( Read more... )
