It seems that I need to update more often.

It's hard to concentrate on homework when there are so many things that need considering, like trying to find beauty in the small things and wanting to be a better person. I'm really nervous. Every day I wake up, I find the surreality and strangeness of the situation and I always try to take advantage ( Read more... )

OK everyone, I'm sorry to fill your mailboxes with this, but it needs to be done (relax, it's not that bad). I'm doing an assignment on the Yiddishization (yes, that's now a word) of English for my linguistic anthropology class, and I need to do some sort of ethnography and/or interview to see how people conceive of whatever it is I'm studying ( ( Read more... )

I've been told that I need to update more frequently. I thought I'd celebrate my return to LJ by discussing my trip to San Francisco ( Read more... )

Yom Kippur has come and gone, and the high has turned into a low. There was something so spiritually haunting about Yom Kippur this year, about praying in front of the Torah while all around me people were singing, about seeing people's faces illuminated by firelight, about being able to put my head on someone's shoulder and cry. There's a piece ( Read more... )

My dad says that I should take a class on personal development because I don't "put myself out there" often enough to let people know how good of a person I am. He figures that that's why I haven't had a significant other since Craig, because I don't let people get to know me well. I say that that's exactly it - I don't want people to know me too ( Read more... )

Tonight's jog was fraught with more than the usual thought, full of contemplation and memories of camp. I love the rain as it is now, sighing as it falls and whispering secrets to the grass, nigh melting before it hits the earth, visible only by the light of the lamps surrounding Denny Field. It's times like these that I like think that this ( Read more... )

The first day of school starts in about ten hours, and I don't know if I'm excited or not. Hmmm. I hope that this quarter goes well; I think that I shall be busy, between classes, the Save Darfur Coalition, anthro internship, yoga classes, possibly tutoring at Pipeline, and possibly a job. Plus the visa to Spain. Cranky. Although I did get the ( Read more... )

I am now back in Seattle, and am very glad to be here. Any UW people want to get coffee? Apparently my name means "milk" in Persian. Yay! Now I can be "tiger with a singing glass of milk" or something (my name also means "tiger" in Hindi, fyi). Hmmm. I have a cold, and it's rather inconvenient for the time. I have Dawg Daze Leader stuff to ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel a lot younger than everyone else, especially in the dating arena. Many of my friends seem to have been dating/doing other things with guys, and I feel so left behind. I want to lower my expectations for people (read: possible significant others), because I think that having high expectations for a significant other won't get me ( Read more... )
