Writer's Block: Sense and sensibility
I think I would choose sight. This world is far too beautiful and there's still so much that I want to see! There's nothing like a good sunset over a lake or forest to end the day. Plus, I'd still be able to geek out on movies and TV by using closed captioning! -

Poli Sci ramblings
So yesetrday I needed to run to the campus bookstore. In AUC's infinite wisdom, the bookstore with the BOOKS needed for classes is just outside the gate. The bookstore with leisure books, AUC memorabilia, etc., is on campus and therefore you need an AUC to get in ( Read more... ) -
Someone finally complained enough...
They have replaced the old, crappy computers (Guy A: "Wow, these things are the same kind of computers I used in Pakistan...in FOURTH GRADE!") in the common lounge computer lab AND the girls' dorm lab! And they are brand spanking new! I can't believe AUC finally did something right. They actually are really nice and WORK. I can have four windows ( Read more... ) -
Just when you find serenity...
My friend and I went to City Stars mall in Cairo last night. She got hit on by a creepy janitor who wanted to marry her and tried to kiss her on the mouth. Fuck you, too, Cairo... -
Almost two months in!
It has been about two weeks since my laptop died. I'm strangely okay with it and I think I've finally made peace with Cairo and Egypt in general. When absolutely ridiculous things happen to me or my friends now that would never happen back home, I'm much more to the point of shrugging it off. I think it took a little longer because of the fact ( Read more... ) -
The Loveliness Continues
My computer, Apollo, died for good yesterday. His hard drive is fried. Not going to bother replacing it here in Egypt. It's probably 200-300 dollars in the US, and I was going to buy a new computer when I graduated in May, which would be about $1000 or so, $1200 if I want to soup it up a little bit. I think it's probably a better idea to 'invest ( Read more... ) -
*headdesk*
I can't believe all the little things that have gone wrong since I got here. There are days where I have a lot of fun with friends but then there are others where I just want to jump on the next flight home. In the past two weeks:

Made it to Cairo
I made it to Cairo! It was 4 a.m. by the time I got to my dorm. I hadn't slept in 36 hours, by that point my body went "You don't want to sleep? Fine." and I was all ready to go. *sigh* So then I didn't really get a good's night sleep...been napping on and off throughout the day today. I don't have an alarm clock, I hope I wake up in time for ( Read more... ) -
Beware Romulans bearing icons...
Some of these are new-ish, some of them I've been slowly letting collect dust in the folder after I make them. 15 TOS/XI, one lonely TNG, and 23 DS9 icons.
