My sister and her boyfriend went out to an authentic German resturant last week and wanted to treat themselves, so they ordered steak tar-tar, not knowing what it was. Hah. Stephanie said she felt retar-tarded. No kidding.

I guess I just like writing? Either that or I'm really concieted, which is quite possible. But for right now we'll go with option 'A ( Read more... )

I am currently in Orlando, Florida with my parents and uncle. We flew into West Palm Beach last night and after a day of house hunting near the coast drove up here to continue the search ( Read more... )

One month later and it's still up in the air where I'm going to end up for the summer. Right now I think it's going to end up being Chicago, but there is always the chance that I spend the long summer months here in Syracuse taking classes and contemplating suicide. But ideally, Chicago ( Read more... )

It's April, which means several things. First, it has finally stopped snowing in Syracuse, for the time being. It hasn't stopped RAINING in about a week, but I guess that's preferable. Second, the semester is winding down, so there is a sudden flurry of papers, projects and presentations due, not to mention exams, with finals looming. Yuck. Third, ( Read more... )

The Rhodes College campus is beautiful with gothic architecture both inside and outside the buildings - lots of flying buttresses, archways, stone and stained glass. It's ( Read more... )

Trapped in Manley Field House, baby-sitting the Athletic Communications office while the division III high school basketball playoffs are held in the arena. Everyone is all worked up over it because Greg Paulis, who may be going to Duke next year on a basketball scholarship, or may give it all up to play college football, is playing for CBA.

So I just got out of a test worth 30% of my grade in that class and I don't think I did very well. We had to fill out this map and lable where iron ore deposits were and where coal deposits were, then describe this inter-dependancy program between France and Germany following WWII. I mixed up the coal and iron ore. Reversed everything. I think I ( Read more... )

So I'm facing somewhat of a dilemma. I want to start going to the gym and trying this working out thing more, but I'm finding it really difficult. Not because I'm lazy or don't have the time. The truth is....I'm terrified of the regulars. Those chicks that are at the gym every day and are apparently training for some kind of hexathalon, or are ( Read more... )
