Obviously, I haven't posted to this journal in ages, but I'm doing some new things with my life, and with that comes a new blog.

Check out http://kathleeninNZ.blogspot.com/ for a look at my experiences on my semester abroad!

I decided it was time for an update, as I've been not very live-journal active for awhile, despite the fact that a lot is new lately ( Read more... )

Sooooo.... I just found out that I got a single in Earlham's environmental theme house for next fall! No more dorm living for me, no sir also, no more meal plan which I'm SO stoked about.

I often like to listen to music while I'm alone in the room, or turn on the TV, but sometimes I find it so cathartic to simply sit and listen to the sounds of the world as time moves on. The click-clack of my keyboard, the gentle hum of the ( Read more... )

... I'm sitting in my room, half drunk, on the computer because the FIRE ALARM went off for NO REASON 45 MINUTES AGO and yet, the stoble-light function in our room is STILL FLASHING-- I'm about ready to rip our fire alarm out of thw wall ARG
