I don't think I can really articulate why I'm so happy right now. I guess it's the mix of caffeine and friends and deciding not to worry anymore about the (questionably finished) paper I turned in an hour and a half ago ( Read more... )

Life now is going pretty well ( Read more... )

Today was fun, but involved entirely too much food: regular lunch, then Punch, then chocolate-dipped strawberries in quick succession.

Then we did a TON of sprinting at frisbee and I'm so out of shape and slow but getting better.

Now that I've started reading it, Godel, Escher, Bach reminds me a lot of The Language Instinct (which I never actually ( Read more... )

The snow is so beautiful. And the past three days have been so representative of Minnesota spring. But I have to admit that I wouldn't mind if the summer we had two days ago (before winter came overnight) were to make a comeback. I'm feeling the lack of real Frisbee practices - not that yesterday's wasn't fun, but there weren't really enough people ( Read more... )

Morning: Donuts for breakfast, packing for Laura, go to the airport and come back. I still can't believe she actually left ( Read more... )

We got a new cat this morning. Her name's Bailey, and she's a blood donor at the U of M vet school (where my aunt works, which is why we heard about her).

Yesterday I also made a list of the important things that happened last year, by month. That was interesting, though I was ( Read more... )

More skating! And an actual game today (even though it was only 3 on 3, it was with adults, so that balances out). And I sent the Swarthmore application out for real, so that's all done with.

And I slept until 2:15 in the afternoon. I love breaks.

Online Health and college applications are threatening to drown me. So I've been doing the logical thing and learning French today. Oh yes, do I have time management skills.

So, Christmas. My uncle is possibly as obsessed with youtube as I am, which I find really funny. And my aunt didn't know about it until today, so I guess that probably balances out somewhere. Funniest video of the day: trailer for the fake Titanic sequel. Though the  "I Am Canadian" Shatner one was pretty good. So was the ad that featured a little ( Read more... )
