Snowpocalypse 2010, they're calling it. I'm calling it...Rachel Goes Insane Slowly But Surely.  The DC metro area is currently in the midst of getting 8-14 more inches on top of the two feet + we already have. I don't understand why all this snow couldn't have been doled out evenly over the past five years. Maybe then our respective state/county ( Read more... )

Reading all day for class sure takes it out of me ( Read more... )

I'm 24. Celebrated by going out in Ellicott City. 10 people crashed at Bear's. Still hungover. Hopefully that's evident by my concise sentence structure. Tripped running home drunk and acquired a huge gash on my shin. Sure to scar. Everyone finally got to meet Byron. "He's friendly. He wears nice clothes." Watched 2 seasons of How I Met Your Mother ( Read more... )

Here I am, on the brink of 2010. I haven't written in 364 days. What. a. tragedy. I'm terribly disappointed that I cannot look back on this past year and read over my array of events, feelings, emotions. I blame my lack of time to the start of graduate school.

Whoda thunk? As I sent in all the application materials late, not following requirements, not having my essay edited, and not even sure if GW had received my GRE scores...I knew my heart wasn't into it/didn't believe I would get in. Much to my surprise, a few weeks later, my parents handed me a rather large envelope from said university. I only ( Read more... )

At least I'm not the only one in the waiting-for-the-next-step rut.

So I haven't posted in more than a month, and I'm disappointed in myself. So much has happened and so much has changed.

Graduation was a blur. The fam came and the ceremony was short and sweet. Lauren and Jie moved out, so it's just been Laura and I in the Vortex. It's pretty amazing finally having a room to myself.

I guess the next big life event ( Read more... )

I'm done with my European art history final and my genealogy project. Just African art and Arabic finals on Tuesday and Wednesday and I'll be done with my undergraduate career. I said once I reached a lull in my studying, I would update on events that have transpired the past couple weeks.

1-Rachel #2's Party- It makes me happy that I'm friends with ( Read more... )
