I wish I had a video camera that could follow me around and record everything that's been happening. I've been having so many adventures and thoughts but I they just keep pouring through me faster than I can seem to write them down. I'd be stupid to think (or even want) to write absolutely everything down, but I know I'll forget lots of wonderful ( Read more... )

he doesn't like to talk about it, but i think about it a lot. bringing it up -- i miss you so much -- just seems to make things worse, so i don't. and i feel like i've been pretty good about not dwelling on it in my thoughts, not going into wallowing-mode, from which it is very difficult to return. but i couldn't help thinking about him this ( Read more... )

I would write an actual entry but there's too many other things I want to be doing, and this email I sent today summarizes things pretty well ( Read more... )

Went to class yesterday, have definitely decided to stick with geoarchaeology and not switch to intro bio "diversity of life." Went to the library after class and worked on my senior project, then came home once my brain pooped out and played guitar for a while.

It's weird to be only taking four classes, actually more like three, because my field course doesn't start for a couple weeks. Honestly, I don't think I really mind; there's so much to do here! Hopefully I' ( Read more... )

Still can't believe I'm actually here. Have been having an amazing time, but am feeling a bit of international whiplash, if you know what I mean. This isn't quite home yet, but it's getting there. I'm starting to feel a little shock, it's really sinking in that I'm going to be here for several months. I miss David a lot, but I'm still glad I ( Read more... )

I"M HERE!

Can't believe I'm leaving Cleveland tomorrow. Really, I feel like I just got here, which makes sense I suppose, since I've only been here three days. It's going to be hard to leave, because now that I'm back, I feel even more strongly like I belong here, like this is where I'm supposed to be ( Read more... )
