So this is not really Jenn's journal, as anyone checking in the past year might have noticed from the lack of material. But because this is the user name i play with on blogger, and i like to leave comments on livejournal, i am taking over "that pineapple" dorénavant. Please forward to my actual blog updated semi-daily-if-i-feel-like-it at http:// ( Read more... )

..."le mouton noir de télé"...at 9h50/10h50 in the morning, you are apparently treated to a home video of a parade featuring Greek private schools. I'm not joking. Right now there's some kind of B-rate video travel guides...in English...with Greek subtitles. I simply did not know about this. Wow. Now there's a band with an accordion...I don't ( Read more... )

I've decided that I'm going to major in English. I've realized that I haven't really enjoyed a class since Ms. Smith. I think English is the deciding factor there, though. And there are these great classes ( Read more... )

Woke up at 10h30, got a call from Holly saying she was in the Women's Union. We worked there on linguistics until 12h29, at which point I headed to my conference room and turned in the problem set. Then I studied for Latin, took the quiz at 1h35, and here I fucking am. It's Noot's birthday, and right now I feel like I have so much less stuff to do ( Read more... )

I talked to Jeananne on the phone last night for a long time, and this morning I couldn't remember if I'd said goodbye to her or if my phone card had run out. But she says that I said goodbye, so that's good. I feel less guilty and more schizophrenic! Maybe I was out killing people with colored (coloured) pencils last night. Gee whiz, I hope not. I ( Read more... )

Jeananne took her cab to the airport, and I didn't go. It's expensive. So now she's just in Dorval sitting for an hour before she goes to Pittsburgh and then RIC. Liz decided she needed to do laundry, which makes sense to me. I'd probably do that before spending six extra hours in an airport. Now I'm just sitting around smoking and trying to ( Read more... )

Jeananne goes back today. We're taking the shuttle to Dorval with Liz, who's picking up her "little sister" there later. So we're going to kind of be creepy and hang out in the airport. Last night there was a showcase of lesbians with guitars at Gert's, the on-campus pub, so we went to that. Jeananne's mission was to get me drunk, as she's never ( Read more... )

Or she's "stretching." I went to Michelle's Macdonald campus retreat last night. It was marvelous. They didn't play the country music I hate, but every country song I like. Ha. So there were three Virginians, me, Jeananne, and this guy named Mike from Gordonsville. He got really into it and got the bartenders to improvise a mint julep for him. I ( Read more... )

So this is the first entry. I'm keeping the Blog as well because Jeananne's on there. I don't have many friends. It's Gretchen and my brother. Yep. So it's a Friday. I had a linguistique française test today. It was intimidating, with real exam answer books and everything. I only answered three out of the four questions due to time restrictions and ( Read more... )
