I HAD THE WEIRDEST DREAM LAST NIGHT. I started out on this west coast-looking campus, and for some reason I was in a crowd of people that used to be in bands in high school, or people who looked like they could have belonged to that crowd. We were all gathering to hear Barack Obama give a speech. I was standing up by the podium when he made his ( Read more... )

My friend Jon and his long-time girlfriend broke up yesterday. He dealt by hosting a gentleman's drinking party at our house, distributing cigars and popping out this amazing wine he buys randomly. I had to leave the festivities early as I have a quiz today, but I nearly fell asleep to my friends downstairs singing Blink 182. He's such a class act ( Read more... )

I'd like my life to be like Picaresque sounds for a while, all windswept verandas, seedy bars, roaring accordions, seafaring adventures, and vendettas to settle. And, everyone would probably have an amazing vocabulary ( Read more... )

WHY CAN'T I WRITE THESE STUDY ABROAD ESSAYS??? I had no idea there were so many cliches just waiting in the wings of my brain, ready to reek havoc on REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF like this essay. I'm probably over-thinking things, as usual. When composing a list of likes and dislikes, I could think of a gazillion things I really like, but practically ( Read more... )

"Crowds lined Pennsylvania Avenue as the pope left, craning to get a glimpse of him as he rode in his Popemobile to the papal residence near the vice president's residence ( Read more... )

I've noticed that college men tend to adjust themselves casually in conversation, and it really weirds me out. I want to say "Seriously! I can see you gripping your balls! I'm standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU." It's kind of the equivalent of pulling out a wedgie, but exponentially more awkward.

And now you know how immature I am. Goodnight.

HOMG ONLY FIVE MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL. I am an impending college junior. That's somewhat terrifying, but I think I shall take it in stride, as there's not really another way to go about things that I could live with. I just remember how being a junior felt in high school, this elevated and comfortable feeling, like I had earned some seniority and ( Read more... )
