So I was going up the street behind the library behind the library this afternoon, and I looked over at the parking lot. Suddenly, I thought I saw a mirage because sitting there was...MY CAR. MY CAR! I am still pretty shocked that it was returned (to the library parking lot, no less) parked neatly in a spot, even with the parking brake on. Very ( Read more... )

My car, or as my sister and I affectionately referred to it "lil' bullet", has been stolen. I'm still kind of shocked, depressed, and mostly just fucking pissed and annoyed. Most annoyingly, my plans to drive home at winter break with the boatload of crap I have accumulated and avoid the mess that is flying during the winter into Wyoming have been ( Read more... )

I've been having a lot of very vivid dreams lately. I usually don't really remember my dreams, so this is odd for me. The dreams have been featuring Oxy people, many who I don't hang out with as often as my gang, but who I see a lot, nonetheless. We are in odd situations that directly relate to mundane aspects of my life, such as going to work (in ( Read more... )

There's this new term that has reached popular heights (does that make sense?) in modern kiddo society. This term is "railing" and it refers to sex. I think I definitely learned the meaning of that. And it is what I expected ( Read more... )

I submitted my application to work in Ireland next semester. If all goes well, I'll be jetting over there at the end of January, and not returning stateside until about August 12. I'm so excited I can barely stand it! However, at moments, I feel conflicted. This semester has been pretty great so far at Oxy. Classes are still pretty swell-history is ( Read more... )

I'm really excited about all of my classes and am really enjoying them, however I am a little freaked out that it is going to be an insanely intense semester since I am taking FOUR history classes. Also, pressure from myself and the homefront means I really need to do extremely well this semester or I'm basically fucked ( Read more... )

Wow-it's been quite a bit since I updated. Amazingly, I suppose not that much has happened, however. The jobs are going fine. It's fun organizing clothes at Old Navy and being there after hours. Cleaning apartments is less than glamourous, but I get to listen to music and dance around like some scene out of an 80s teenage movie. Seattle is still ( Read more... )

Well, my search for work is finally producing results, however they are pretty small. I have a job at Old Navy, working Mondays, Tuesdsays, and Thursdays from 8pm to 1 or 2am. Then probably some other hours on the side. Then I signed up with a temp agency and today had my first experience with that. I am helping a bigtime accounting firm pack up ( Read more... )

My quest for summer employment continues, being a little more difficult than I had anticipated, for some reason. I don't why I thought businesses would be clamouring for students to work for them, just for three + months, but that is definitely not the case. Visiting Portland was really fun last week, reminding me of L.A., Oxy, and all the people ( Read more... )

Well, I arrived in Seattle, my final destination for the summer, greeted by a nice view of the city and a bunch of traffic. After my stay at Ian's gorgeous nature haven, my sister's apartment was a little disappointing. Just kidding-it's very cozy, and nice to be with her and Peter. On Friday, I received a gift from Ian, and it was in full effect ( Read more... )
