"Can anybody nail me for 2 dollars?" --our rafting guide

Got back from Jackson Hole, WY, yesterday.  Honestly, I thought it was gonna be kinda lame, but it turned out to be a pretty cool mini-vacation.

Thursday: We drove from here to Jackson Hole.  Stopped in Pocatello, ID, which was a little bit scary.  The whole McDonald's was full of creepy ( Read more... )

Woot!  Finally done with the first draft of my second topic for NHSMUN.  I still have more drafts, etc. to do, but I think now that both of the first drafts are done it'll be a lot easier.  And I just found out that I get to pick 15 NGOs to be on my committee, which is pretty kick-ass.  Nerdy, but kick-ass ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm not mad anymore.  Ross spontaneously sent me a text this morning that said, "Omg! I love you so much!"  I'm a sucker for that sort of thing.  <3 ( Read more... )

Bleargh.  I feel so gross.  I really need a shower.  I haven't showered yet today.  And then I walked the dog in the 97-degree heat.  And then Thor sprayed mulch all over me when he did his post-pooping instinctively-covering-up-the-smell-of-the-poop moonwalk dance move.  Eew ( Read more... )

Watching this old black-and-white horror movie called The Tingler.  I think it's a little hard to find a movie scary when its title sounds like some sort of kinky sex toy.

I'm going to NorCal in three weeks!  I'm going to fly into Oakland and then drive up to Lake Shasta with Ross's family.  They're renting a houseboat on the lake for his mom's ( Read more... )

So I guess this is my first post since I got home for the summer.  I finished my finals last Wednesday, and I got home on Thursday afternoon.  I haven't done a whole lot since, other than write drafts for three of my five topic proposals.  I wrote them on "Stigma and Discrimination against Persons with HIV/AIDS," "Availability of ARV Treatment in ( Read more... )

Ross left today.  ='(  More on that later.

It's 2:40 in the morning and I'm still awake...  And I'm getting up at 9 tomorrow...  Gah...

Trying to avoid starting to work on my outline for my term paper for IR 344.  I'm freaking just slightly about this, since the OUTLINE for this paper is worth 20% of my final grade.  I think it'll be ok though, since the TA is going to go over the outline with me before I turn it in.  Ok, no one's interested anymore.  Sorry.

I went to Bottlecock's ( Read more... )

Just got back from my IR midterm.  I think I did really well, which is good since I'm pretty sure I didn't do very well on my philosophy midterm.  This is going to be a busy week, since I'm catching up for the time that I missed while I was in New York.  Blah.  Can't wait until the weekend ( Read more... )

I'm in anthropology class now.  I really like this class; I find it quite interesting.  We talk a lot more about non-human primates than I thought we were going to at the beginning of the semester, but I know a whole hell of a lot more about monkeys, apes, and lemurs than I used to ( Read more... )
