After 8 shmillion years (or about 8 months) of not updating this thing, I figured I'd let you all know that I'm still alive and doing quite wonderfully actually. I'm almost done with undergrad school, I have a potential apartment in Philly to move into after graduation (and hopefully a teaching job in the district), and a wonderful boyfriend (this ( Read more... )

which in English means "I have finished!" I just got done with my finals today, even though I considered myself done with school about 2.5 weeks ago. On Saturday rather than studying for my remaining finals, I decided I couldn't stand waiting to move any longer, and I packed up all my stuff and have been living at my apartment for 3 days now (aww ( Read more... )

Finally, even though I have yet to replace my digital camera (hopefully within the next 2 months), I developed some pics from film and had them put on a cd as well...so here is probably my favorite picture of the whole stack (another cool one resides in my recently updated info)

I just realized that in about 2 weeks I will be considered a senior. I feel like I just got to college, and I'll already soon be leaving. In retrospect, it is amazing how much one grows so quickly to adjust to the "scary adult world". I used to be somewhat apprehensive about graduating, but now I'm extremely excited. I think part of that is due ( Read more... )

I still have another year of this crap to deal with. Today, my group in Educational Psych gave our big happy group presentation, and things did not go as smoothly as I would have liked them to (call me a perfectionist). However, even if we hadn't gotten everything done at the very last minute, and we were actually ahead of the game, I fear that ( Read more... )

Medicare, as far as I'm convinced, has some idiots on their staff. My stepmom has been waiting for approval for her gastric bypass surgery so that she doesn't have to be dependent on the insulin shots which are slowly killing her. Also, she takes 37 prescription medications to treat her Diabetes and Graves Disease. However, an RN (not a doctor, ( Read more... )

This evening while sitting out on the balcony/courtyard area of the apartment, a good friend and I were having a conversation, and suddenly, *SPLASH*, a water balloon breaks on the ground near to us. While looking around in confusion, another hits nearer to us, and I see two "gentlemen" running below the balcony along the perimeter of the building ( Read more... )

It's a great feeling when you realize you are "on the same page" with someone, especially regarding the more important things in life. Or maybe I'm just being a total dork about all this.

Thanks to all my friends, I had a wonderful birthday. In short, we went to Kildare's on Thursday night at midnight. Then, on Friday I went to the Spring Banquet (with the greatest date ever!). Other than that I've been putting in lots of hours at Whole Foods, and it's going well. Come visit me at the Prepared Foods/Deli counter!

Today in Anthropology, I finally felt on the same page as the professor again. He explained how Christians need to take caution in not mixing animatistic elements with Christianity (example: flipping the Bible open randomly and pointing to a passage and consider that to be God's specific message to you in your particular situation...i.e., viewing ( Read more... )
