*gasp*

The real Hell Weeks are the ones you don't see coming. I am so OCD at school that I do actually write 'Hell Week' in the top margin of my planner weeks in advance when I see I have more than three major assignments due, but this one just reared out of nowhere. Soc take-home exam, so you know the questions are ridiulous, Psych exam on Tuesday ( Read more... )

     Back at home for a little while. I always forget that I'm not really going to get a chance to relax. Becca is desperate to finish Skellig (she never finishes books we start together without me, which is wonderful for me but frustrating for her). I'm going in half an hour to my fourth viewing of "Into the Woods." I'd never seen the show before ( Read more... )

It appeared from the subject line to be an ad for watches. If you put it into lines, it looks like free verse poetry written by a junkie in Engrish:

trying build among reading.
gym already progress free not. 
immediate remember near
truly bought planning. 
am wine within 
here central build. 
intelligent deal showed night. 
age might miss evil money.

Arrr! Today be Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I be trying to make years of grammar walk the plank and use 'be' in the infinitive no matter who or what I be talking about. Avast, even ended a sentence with a scallywag of a preposition, on purpose no less! How d'you be liking that, ye proper-English-lubber?

This last week, I be...were....oh for the love ( Read more... )

     The highlights of the weekend so far have been the same experience repeated several times, and I'm far from bored. Yesterday I was in the grocery store to pick up wax paper and 70% chocolate, and I happened to walk by the produce section. Now, fruit's been a passion of mine since I was old enough to be spoon-fed applesauce (I have a photo of ( Read more... )

     I've been trying to keep an open mind, I swear. Maybe I've read too much dystopic fiction, but "Looking Backward" seems naive to the point of being sinister regarding their society. I admit they have some definite improvements over our version of The Way the World Works. They seem to have figured out consumption and labor issues in a way that ( Read more... )

     So I'm reading this book for Sociology called "Looking Backward," by Edward Bellamy. The idea is this guy in 1887 Rip-Van-Winkled his way to 2000, to find that society had become a Utopia. Industrial society as we know it is extinct, replaced by a system that's based on respect for laborers and allows everyone the highest-quality food, housing ( Read more... )

     Well, my professors did it again. They all woke up simultaneously last night screaming, "I need to make my students read something substantial RIGHT NOW!!!!" I have something along the lines of six chapters and two full books to read over the weekend, not to mention write two poems and keep up with Spanish homework. I mean, I was planning to ( Read more... )

Your blog is your stage - with your visitors your adoring fans.
At least, that's how you write with your witty one liners.

By the way, I find it ironic that the spell check doesn't

     First day of class. Singular, at least for today, which was nice. The profesora seems really approachable and excited about the class, and I know most of the people from last semester. For the rest of the day, I ran errands. Asked some questions about my study abroad application so I can blow this red, white & blue popsicle stand soon *knocks ( Read more... )
