(Untitled)
Last night I had the strangest sensation. I woke from a dream, and for the infinite space of a few seconds, I didn't know who I was. Often in my dreams I am someone else, but always on waking I know that I am Sarah, and know also where I am. This was such a moment of sheer panic. I felt ripped away from the identity and space I'd been inhabiting in ( Read more... ) -
cervical mucus blues...
Ok, I am freaking out a little. Well, first of all it's finals week, so I'm already stressed. My toughest and most important final is tomorrow morning and I am pretty scared about that. But what scares me even more is that I'm planning to drive home tomorrow after the final, and I seem to be ovulating - or about to any time now. Yes, there's ( Read more... ) -
stupid me
Ugggh... I am such an idiot. I got drunk last night, did some stupid stuff, and now I still feel sick. I told myself I was done with that after France. There's no reason for me to drink that much. It was really dumb, and I regret it, and I really should have known better. Stupid stupid me... -
Things I hate
I was thinking today about how there are certain things in this world that seem so horrifically evil and insidious as to make me physically ill just thinking about them. Topping the list are ( Read more... ) -
Homesick... again
I am missing Geoff and Basil so much. I know I should be home in 10 days, but sometimes it seems like the closer I get the longer it's taking. I was looking at some more photos from this summer and thought I'd post a few more...

A change of plans
I can't remember if I already posted anything about this here yet, but I decided over this past year that I don't think I'm cut out to be a French teacher. Partly this is just me still not feeling confident with the language, and partly it is because I thought I would be able to do my student teaching this Spring, but it turns out I would have to ( Read more... ) -
Nanowrimo
I am so frustrated with myself sometimes. Looking back, my life can seem like one long stream of unfinished projects. I know why this is. It is because I am a coward. I am too scared and too arrogant to actually put my heart into something because if I fail, or even if it turns out only so-so, I'm afraid I will be crushed and disappointed. As long ( Read more... ) -
Thanksgiving!
Well, since I didn't get to go home for Thanksgiving, I decided to do the next best thing. I skipped class Thursday, went to the grocery store and spent all day in the little dormitory kitchen to have a big Thanksgiving dinner for a bunch of my international friends. It was really great fun, and it was, to my knowledge, the first time I'd ever ( Read more... ) -
One last picture
I can't believe I forgot this picture. It's probably my favorite of the trip ... I believe this wheat field was in Saskatchewan.

Families
Well, it's almost Thanksgiving, and this will be the first year ever that I won't be spending it at my grandmother's. In fact, since Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, I won't be celebrating it at all. Also, since Emily is living in Turkey until April, and my mom doesn't want to cook anymore, I don't think it'll be much of a holiday at home ( Read more... )
