I don't know what it was that made me think of coming back to Livejournal after not posting for well over a year.  I think it is mostly because the end of my time in Australia is fast approaching, and I need an outlet for my reflections.  I very much doubt anyone still checks this, so it is more for myself I am typing this post.  Before I started ( Read more... )

I'm so bad at updating this thing! Not that it really matters because my life is really really boring ( Read more... )

I am so so so happy this week is over! This was probably one of the hardest weeks I have had in a long time. I had my second intensive class, Managing Change, this week. Monday through Friday I had class from 9-5, and then several hours of reading each evening, summaries of those readings, and a presentation to have done before Friday. Oye. I ( Read more... )

So this last month has been crazy, quite a lot has happened since Billy left. Part of my feels like Billy left yesterday, and I'm surprised that it's already been a month. The other part of me feels like Billy left eons ago because soooo much has happened since then ( Read more... )

So the last couple of weeks have been pretty good. I really love being done with classes for a while and being able to relax a bit. I turned in my last paper on the 4th, which was the same day that Billy got here. I had a lot of fun with Billy. I spent about half of the time he was here with him (he had some friends here as well). Basically ( Read more... )

Compared to what my life has been like for the last few months, my week has been absolute craziness. Mostly because my life hasn't ONLY consisted of wake up, go to the library, do work, go home, eat dinner, watch about 2 hours of tv, go to bed. So let's see, what has happened? On Tuesday I had that spirituality class thing I told you about last ( Read more... )

I feel like the last couple of weeks have almost been serendipitous, like destiny has taken the reigns and I am no longer really in control of my life. But I am starting to think that maybe I haven't had much control over my life for quite a while, that I just hadn't realized it until now. In the last coupld of days everything has just sort of ( Read more... )

So this weekend I had a fieldtrip for my Sustainable Landscapes class. We left on Saturday morning, and got back Sunday evening, so it was a short trip, but it was so much fun! There were only like 10 of us on a huge coach bus. Basically we went to a bunch of Trust for Nature properties. Trust for Nature is where my teacher works, and it's a ( Read more... )
