College Likes and Dislikes: Edited by Future Vickey (in blue) (Orange as well)
I like my calculus teacher. I loved Mr. Nalepa so this guy now is a good follow up.
(Since then, I've realized that he actually hates me. He ignores me a good two or three times before he'll acknowledge my presence/answer questions. So still like Mr. Nalepa but without the love-hate and just with the hate-hate. I still dig him though-the guy's a ( Read more... ) -
This New Chapter
The longer I stay here, the more at home I start to feel which is very, very good. Especially since I'm now officially on my own. The family left about a half hour ago so I promptly got online and read everyone's LJ just for one last reviving grasp at the familiar...por supuesto.
*sigh* Alone-y Alone-y. And the best part is that I'm really not alone ( Read more... ) -
Life in a New Place
I'm officially in college! I slept alone in my dorm room last night so it's for real. The whole unloading and unpacking thing was easy enough-just lonely-ish because my roommate wasn't here yet. She's unpacked now so no more isolated freshman Vickey.
And speaking of freshmen...I'm trying to perfect my "deer in headlights? moi? You must be mistaken" ( Read more... ) -
Memo to Self
Next summer, do a better job of finding/keeping employment. Money flowing in your direction is a very good feeling. Quite worth working for some of the time...
At least the first 3 weeks was a good, solid job.
I just got stung by a bee. Actually, what happened is that I stung myself with a bee--I sat on the damn thing. I'd never been stung by a bee ( Read more... ) -
Handel's and Heartburn
It's been an action-packed two weeks. Medieval faire, Birthdays, New York, Festivals, Fireworks. A very welcome change from Graduation-Party-June. That's about the only good thing I can say about July though. Generally, it's been a whirlwind of something I can't describe-something unpleasant though. Events that make one wonder which way up is...On ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
It's that little flame that lights a fire under your ass.
It keeps you going strong like a car with a full tank of gas.
So I may not have validated my existence by making a considerable contribution to the welfare of the world...yet. But so far, I feel like I've done enough to justify waking up each morning. Then again, that can't have been too hard ( Read more... ) -
Inventory
1. There are not enough carrots in my house to satisfy my hunger. I don't know when this happened, but sometime between last week and right now, I became addicted to baby carrots. The baby carrots part being the crucial part of the addiction: They are cut, peeled, and washed. No matter how addicted I may be, once this bag of cut, peeled, and washed ( Read more... ) -
Aye Hart Verano
I'm in the flow of summer now and it feels gewd. Graduation happened so fast and once it was over I felt like I'd been pushed off a speeding train-jostled and abandoned. It was sad for a day or two but once I started sleeping late, taking walks, and reading for hours and hours, I started to heal.
Life is good in summer.
And I'm finally truly excited ( Read more... ) -
Three Cheers for Sudden Realizations...
So I'm sitting here minding my own business and attempting (and not quite failing!) to write my lit final/composition and suddenly, I'm catapulted out of my own mind by what I just realized:
Next year, I will be in college.
I know it sounds like a d'uh moment but the thing is, I just now realized the ramifications of that simple fact.
For starters, ( Read more... )
