Really there is less to do in Europe than I thought there would be. I realize that my very being here makes me undeserving of sympathy, but that is how I feel. My family has long ceased to amuse me and our dinner conversations have boiled down to pointing out annoying quirks that various people do. (Apparently I itch my nose in an annoying way ( Read more... )

Well now I'm somewhere in the Chianti region of Italy south of Florence and all I can think about is the Silence of the Lambs. For those of you that don't get that reference, shame on you. Anyway a couple things I have learned while in Italy ( Read more... )

I'm in Italy, possibly further away from Japan (but don't quote me on that). And unlike all you people in Japan I'm not on a school trip so I can drink, legally that is. But on the other hand I don't understand a lick of Italian and even the keyboard is different so I keep on writing things like donàt instead of don't. God, foreign languages are

As my second free began I was bored. I had already wasted all the time that was there to waste. But Caroline was in the library facebooking. Once she was done she thought it would be fun for me to have a facebook. Long story short I now have a facebook. If i forgot to add anyone as a friend, sorry it is more my lack of sleep than any sort of ( Read more... )

Today I had my last round of golf with the MA golf team. The reason it was the last was because we lost a tournament in part because I shot a 100 (for those of you who don't know, that is very bad) which I haven't done since sophomore year. It felt like a very emotional moment, but I had the feeling like it was not the time nor place for those ( Read more... )

For those of you that don't know I spent Thursday and Friday at Rice University in Huston. First night I slept in my clothes on a couch. In the morning I was supposed to go to three classes but managed to sleep through the first, decided to eat breakfast instead of attending the second and was utterly confused in the third. Once that was done I ( Read more... )

For those of you who haven't heard I got into Rice University in Huston. I was the 10th person to get the news ( Read more... )

Well most all of you have heard by now that Bodie is leaving to Spence school. Did some research on the place, it is K-12 all girls and the entire school is 600 students (and you thought our class sizes were small). If anyone cares Gwyneth Paltrow went there and Mick Jagger's daughter too. Oh and by the way wikipedia can be scary up to date ( Read more... )

So the current question is: Will Colin freeze before he gets SCUBA certified? I am currently setting the odds at 3 to 1 against.

So today I found myself buying flexible neon straws and cottonballs. This once again made me think of how strange some purchases must seem to the check-out people. I mean these people could be the most judgemental people in the world. I mean they could assume that I'm going to snort cottonballs with the straws (or not). Anyway just throwing the ( Read more... )
