My Blog Has MOVED!

Hello everyone! That's right, after years on Livejournal, I have decided that it is time to move house. I think I have outgrown the look and advertising schemes here at Livejournal, but the blogging will not cease! I'll still be writing, just on a different website.

 At this magical hour of midnight I celebrate two anniversaries. January 11th is the second anniversary of arriving in Valencia, Spain and today,  January 12th is the first anniversary of my reentry into the United States. I have officially been home for a year...well...technically not for a few more hours. I was probably between Brisbane and ( Read more... )

Happy New Year! 2010 is treating me well so far! My days during November and December were quite eventful...so much so that I didn't get a chance to write about any of it! So here goes--a giant updation.

November actually kicked off with Halloween. Oren and I went into New York City to meet Emily for a coffee/tea in Greenwich Village. When we ( Read more... )

Oren Got a Job!

This weekend, I can't help thinking about how many people will probably be up in arms about President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. Mom told me about it on Friday morning and at first I said what everyone probably said when they first heard: Why?

I have fifteen minutes left of my lunch hour, and I figured I better come up with some excuse to use the computer lab--one of the few benefits provided by my job. I don't get much else.

 So I have a brief update today.

Work is going well but is never-ending. I wrap up one project only to start and continue ten more. I had a productive day today though and I finished most of the items on my to-do list. That's all I can ask, really.

Earlier this week I was sent the links to the video interviews that I gave about my study abroad ( Read more... )

I am completely wiped out.

It was a long day at work of interviewing people to provide showrooms for our walking tours, I didn't even have time to eat. It was nice to come back to Oren's house and find him bustling around in the kitchen making tandoori chicken, basmati rice and broccoli/cauliflower curry sirfry. It was delicious. He's so talented ( Read more... )

I'm hoping that this will actually turn into an update rather than a giant apology letter to those of you who have not yet given up on checking this blog. Hopefully the RSS feeds will save me here. Since last I wrote my life took off at a grueling pace, and while I will not go so far as to say I have reached a pocket of down-time (I'm still as busy ( Read more... )
