I thought I'd dodged a cold last week, but its come back with a vengeance this week. I'm currently torn between doing some reading for IS, following the election, watching t.v., and going to bed early. On the topic of IS, I volunteered to participate in a twenty day study involving daily meditation. I went to the first session tonight and ( Read more... )

Today has been a day of small victories. I finished a draft of my lit review and now have about 50 pages written (between my lit review and my intro). My other little accomplishment was finally booking my flight to NYC to do my IS research. I've talked to El (and Will in the past), and they are both set for me to stay with them during my trip.

Its been a really long time since I've written in here, and an especially long since I last wrote in here with any consistency. I could lie and say I've been busy, but I always have plenty of free time. For the past two and a half years I've talked to Will instead of this damn livejournal, and sadly he just broke up with me. Now, instead of ( Read more... )

I'm back at school and all moved in and unpacked. It's weird having a double to myself. I hope people visit me a lot because now it's really easy to just hole away in my room since I don't have a roommate to force me to be social. Sigh. Once classes start I think things will pick up for me. It's just today that I have nothing to do. I might ( Read more... )

Navy Blue got stung by a bee today. He was crying and limping.

I got my tragus pierced today. Plus I went to the jail trail with Derick and we went on a two seat bicycle. It was kind of hard to use at first. How do you get two people on and going? How the hell do you stop it? I was afraid we were going to fall over or crash for a while but we eventually got the hang of it and it was sweet. After the bike ( Read more... )

I chatted with Wen Feng online, partly in English and partly in pinyin. It was fun. At first I couldn't remember who she was but once I saw her picture on facebook I remembered. We had a nice chat. We discussed some books and her job and whatnot. It was nice and I hope to chat with her and some of the other girls we met in China soon ( Read more... )

I went to the gym and then went swimming and then walked home. I didn't feel like walking the same old route I usually take so I cut through schenley park. I felt like little red riding hood cutting through the woods to get to grandma's house. I did see chipmunks. That's close to a wolf. Plus I'm pretty sure I saw some female turkeys. The walk ( Read more... )

I babysat today and it went pretty well. Only a few seconds of a breakdown, and only a few times. I made dinner tonight. Spanikopita because it's the only thing I've taking the time to teach myself how to make ( Read more... )

I am now babysitting Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30am-12:30pm for the 3 year old girl, Mia, across the street. I think we're going to give Navy a bath tomorrow. She can put on her bathing suite and get in the tub with him and play in the water and get to play with the dog, who she adores ( Read more... )
