I'm back at home, and it's weird. I know I've been saying this constantly lately, but it feels so strange to be here. I really did move out this last year. I had a couple years of being truly in between home and school. Now, I think I can honestly say that I'm happier living at school, although it's nice to be around the family. Oy, ( Read more... )

I moved out of the apartment today, and am emailing from home. I've got lots of mixed feelings about being 'back.' It's nice to be around the family for short periods of time, but I just feel like there is a rift between my parents and I, and it grows a little bit each day. Then again, it's free (more or less) to live here, and I've got my job ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the last day of classes, and it's all I can think about (well, aside from Matt, my hot mug of chamomile, and my buttery banana bread - like the alliteration?). I only have one official class, and then I'm off to the bank to deposit my paycheck; to Safeway to buy avocados; and to lunch at India Palace with Dani and Shannon. It will be ( Read more... )

Today was SSRD, and I did JACK! That is, I woke up at 9 with Matthew, and we strolled to Busic Ct. for breakfast, which was the Octoberfest (eggs scrambled with German sausage, topped with cheddar; and a monstrous pancake soaked in a vat of syrup and butter), and then we went to the mall for 3 hours. I (of course) went to Nordstrom to chill with ( Read more... )

In EED lab today, we dissected minks. It was gross, really. I mean, I sort of have an ethical issue with their being grown in mink farms for their fur, but at least we can use their little dead bodies and learn from them. It's the same issue that I have with all livestock here today. So, basically I breathed formalin for 3 hours when I wasn't ( Read more... )

*sigh* today was a nice day. Woke up at about 11 with Mr. Matthew, headed down to Busick Court for green eggs and ham, walked around the mall and bought a FABULOUS new pair of shades from Nordie's and some CD cases, and then met Leigh, who came to visit. Matt went off to do some Taoism reading, and so Leigh and I went to DaVinci's for a lovely ( Read more... )

I'm not too excited to be going home, and I wish that I could avoid the reason why. I think that I've lost my parents' trust and respect. I wonder if I'll ever feel like I've earned it back. Home is nice, but it's becoming more surreal every time I think about it. The pets, the family, the lack of control over the environment...it's very ( Read more... )

Oh. Man. If you haven't seen "V for Vendetta," I order/dare/ask/beg/implore you to go and see it. A truly tremendous movie! I feel like blowing shit up and being an anarchist! Yayyyy! Matt, Chris and I went to see it last night at 10pm, and Natalie Portman does such a fabulous job. It was like "Zorro" meets "The Phantom of the Opera" meets " ( Read more... )

I feel so uprooted. My stomach has ached all morning, I lost my damn debit card, and I don't really want to live with my parents anymore. Why did it come to this? I don't want to be around my family anymore. Who knew that would happen to me? I just want my own car, my bedroom, and unlimited freedom and cash this summer. Oh how I wish...I'm ( Read more... )
