So yes, I'm pretty much definitely going to Costa Rica this summer. I emailed the owner of La Marina and he said they had a host family available in June. Now I just have to wait and see if the honors program approves it for my scholarship. I was thinking that I was gonna end my stint at the refuge July 2nd ( Read more... )

I am enjoying day 3 of my fast. I decided that I needed to do a little spring cleaning within my body as well as my mind, taking a break to read, reflect, and meditate. I'm still going to my classes, but I have no major tests or assignments due this week, so I thought it might be my only opportunity to do this when life isn't crazy. The first ( Read more... )

So yesterday after I got back from class, Rae, JC and I went to go cut some bamboo to make an outdoor enclosure for Britches and our neighbor's bunnies. There's this place on the west side of town that is covered in bamboo so we can go and cut it there for free. So we cut a bunch and loaded it into the truck so that the front ends were touching ( Read more... )

I'm so caffeinated right now.

Friday Tasha and I went to Atlanta to see Dubconscious play at the Variety Playhouse. We got to see Susi and Jessi, so that was exciting! I love how it didn't feel like I hadn't seen Susana for like 2 and a half years.

So, yes, I miss my Atlanta friends, but this new arrangement I have in Athens is super exciting. I am now living with Rae and JC. I moved in on Sunday night with Britches and we've been settling in for the past few days. I bike to class every morning (except for this morning because it was raining, but it only took me about half an hour to walk ( Read more... )

I hate physics.

I got a bike today! I was sitting in my favorite coffee shop, studying ecology, sipping a tall glass of coffee with soy creamer when I got a call from Rae asking me if I would like to go for a walk on the trails near their house with them and their dogs. I love their house and it's location and there's a stream nearby which will be the perfect ( Read more... )
