So I'm back in Athens after spending a good chunk of time in the L.  I would be in Charleston (SC) for the week if I didn't have the GRE to take on Tuesday.  I was supposed to go for 3 days last week (my mom has to work there for a bit), but a friend of the family died and I went back to Atlanta for his funeral.  It's a cruel summer.  Another ( Read more... )

It's a really weird state of being when cleaning your toilet makes you feel like you've accomplished something.  Actually, nevermind, cleaning anything makes me feel accomplished.  This whole "lying in wait" for the next step of my life to start is fun and annoying all at once.  A part of me just wants to go now, do the Jacksonville thing, then ( Read more... )

I had a very Catholic weekend.  I went to the Eucharistic Congress on Friday night, and they basically had an altar call for nuns.  So exciting, because it seems I've only heard them for priests.  And when I say "altar call," I don't mean that they asked anyone to actually come up or anything.  They just told us about the new diocesan group that's ( Read more... )

So my birthday shenanigans have been both fun, interesting, and surprising.  On Thursday morning of my actual birthday, I awoke at the unspeakable hour of 9am to meet some folks at IHOP and eat a funny face pancake.  The waitress got mad at me for not eating the eyes (they're cherries, and I wanted them to make the face but I don't actually like ( Read more... )

I'm officially 22!  And all I really want is a birthday pancake.  IHOP in the morn!

I feel like such a punk.  And bored and lonely which is telling me a lot about myself that I didn't know.  Maybe I'm just extra-emotional from all these freakin' antibiotics I've been on, but little things are setting me off.  Maybe because I don't have school as my distraction from my emotions I can feel them stronger or something.  Which is quite ( Read more... )

I think I'm updating for the sake of updating, but whatever.  I'm a college graduate!  Woohoo!  Now to figure out what to do with my life . . . hmm.  (any suggestions?)  I just applied for another summer job with the Cox Center, which is a part of Grady College (they do media research with. .something.. not quite sure).  But it pays and has ( Read more... )

This was kinda limited for me because my music is spread throughout 3 different players.. so I went with my iTunes player.  You can tell how limited it is by the artist repeats (yet no Superchick came up and that saddened me).  Still fun nonetheless ( Read more... )

So most people remember their first throwing-up experience in college in conjunction with alcohol, kegstands, bar-hopping downtown, and/or shooters and body shots, if they even remember it all (but their friends always will).  At the end of my four years here in Athens, I have finally had my experience.  However, it was in broad daylight and I was ( Read more... )
