It's 5:30 in the morning, I have been the only one in the lounge since three, and I'm now either getting a second wind or I'm about to collapse. Also, it's raining outside which would be comforting if it weren't for the six inches of now-mushy snow on the ground. I'm not entirely sure whether this should be freezing rain, let alone whether or not ( Read more... )

 Alright, so I didn't sleep last night - Schyler and I were up until 2:30 talking down in the ICC kitchen and then I couldn't get to sleep, eventually gave up and read all of Twilight (not such a great book... if nothing else, how can you be attracted to someone whose skin is cold and HARD?), finally went to sleep at 10 and woke up at 3. Woke up ( Read more... )

 There has got to be a happy medium between emotional unavailability and too much emotional availability in men! Good lord on toast. 

 It's so strange to think that in thirty, forty years, we'll be telling out children and grandchildren that we were right there, watching, when Barack Obama was elected President of the United States. I feel blessed and honored to have been a small part of this moment in history ( Read more... )

 I am terrified right now. My vote is in, there's nothing more I can do except watch and wait and hope.

I'm sitting in front of the TV with a pint of Ben and Jerry's, haha... can you say stress eating? But I'm also supporting the company that cancelled work for all their employees today so they could go vote.

Go Obama, go.

 Procrastination has kind of been killing me recently. I've been doing a lot of things that are important, but not necessarily keeping on top of everything that I should be, which is a bit stressful ( Read more... )

 Discovery of the last 24 hours: Late October in Beloit = December in the PNW. 
The weather here has mood swings - a week and a half ago it was 90, last night it was 30, and by thursday it's supposed to be in the 60s! 
If it's below freezing in October... what's it going to be like in a month?

Maybe that flu shot isn't such a bad idea...

 One of the beautiful things about this semester is the potential for getting lots of sleep. Today I woke up at 9:45 and dozed until 10 - the consequence being that now I can't shower until 11 because the showers are being cleaned ( Read more... )

So apparently McCain thinks we need to show pregnant young women compassion, educate them about adoption options to "give them the courage" to carry pregnancies to term. Right McCain, you tell that to the 14 year old rape victim, tell her to go through a year of school like that.

He also has the worst ties. They give me headaches.

Despite going by too quickly, this weekend has been really nice. Yesterday I slept late and then after brunch walked down to the farmers market with a few people from my dorm who I don't usually spend a lot of time with. I bought little presents for my family and we hung out in the bookstore. When we got back it was perfect weather, sunny and ( Read more... )
