After traveling around, hauling all my luggage, it's nice to settle down somewhere and be around people I know (at least somewhat). It was funny seeing people at work welcome me back so enthusiastically- even the ones I barely knew before I left ( Read more... )

Well, I left CT early Saturday morning on February 10th and arrived in Auckland NZ on Monday, Feb. 12. So I have no clue where Sunday went, but it's gone. The flights weren't terribly bad, and I had no issues with security, except when I forgot I still had water in my water bottle- silly me- I had to dump it out ( Read more... )

I've now been home since last Saturday, and already I've raked the entire yard (1 1/2 acres or so), helped bake, carry a copier, carry all my shit into the house, carry my sister's stuff (she moved back up from Virginia) and of course all the stuff my dad gets. I've only worked one day so far, which is amazing. Everyone is still going crazy getting ( Read more... )

So, here I am at the end of another crazy semester in college. It's amazing how much can happen in all that time. I have had an amazing time living in the Gables and I look forward to it again next year when I return. I am a very sociable person and I am so happy to finally have roommates after living in a single for 2 years ( Read more... )

Drunken bowling tonight was awesome!!! (Apparently i use that word too much...). IT was so much fun bowling after having a nice drink and dancing, laughing and watching the guys come out more drunk then before each time they left the bar. We bowled for 3 hours and I think my arm might be a little bit tired. PIctures will be dowloaded soon- ( Read more... )

Something amazing happened this weekend- I took it off from work and went surfing with a friend in Ocean City, NJ. I scraped myself up like crazy, which is nothing new, but I did enjoy my first surfing experience, despite the pain. Will include the picture when I get a chance to post it- (on a computer that doesn't hate me). Overall though, it was ( Read more... )

Between working and sleeping,I have found time in the last week or so to read Daniel Quinn's book "Ishmael". My hall director and another RA had recommended it to me, and it was quite an amazing read. It talks about humanity and our purpose here on Earth, which is totally wrong and explains why were killing everything else in existence, which will ( Read more... )

Hey everyone ( Read more... )

My parents insisted we go out to dinner Wednesday night, and of course my dad wanted to go to the Fish Tale. Would've been ok if I didn't get the fried scrod, but I wanted fish and they don't have much that isn't fried and smeared with butter. So I ate it...BAD IDEA. After hiking for a week on nothing but granola and healty stuff, my body was not ( Read more... )
