I have such horrible luck with boys.  It's starting to get a tad ridiculous. 

I went trick-or-treating last night.  Really fun.  Before coming to college, one of my goals was to go trick-or-treating at least once and then probably to never do it again.  I have finally accomplished this goal, and it was wondrous.  I'm doing everything right this last quarter as an undergrad.  Har.  We took Ramin's little sister with us.  I ( Read more... )

I just finished reading Teacher Man by Frank McCourt.  Amazing.  His 3-book memoir is definitely one of my favorite collections of books.  He writes simply, yet there's so much in everything he says.  I don't know how to describe it.  I wish I could write the way that he did.  They're so good.  I highly recommend them.

Today, I was asked to process blood samples and urine samples at the lab in the ACC.  I didn't realize how much I missed doing that kind of stuff until today.  I think after graduation I'm gonna go ahead and ask Jim if he has any part-time openings in his lab.  Somehow being in a lab just feels more intellectually stimulating than sitting in a ( Read more... )

9 more days until I'm cramped in a plane on my way to France.  Yay ( Read more... )

I woke up in the middle of the night to rumbling, flashes, the sound of a massive downpour of rain, and the blaring of car alarms.  It was wonderful.  The night sky was never quite dark.  I left my window and the blinds open just so I could watch the flashes in the sky and feel the gusts of wind while lying in bed, slowly drifting back to sleep. 

I think it's funny how I'm met with shock and disbelief when I bring up the fact that some women poo while giving birth and that's it's pretty standard and expected.  I decided about half an hour ago to look up information about poo and giving birth and I came upon this.  I've spent the past half hour reading stories that mothers have posted about ( Read more... )

We met the Russian equivalent of a drunk Sahaj yesterday when we went bar hopping last night.  His name is Alexei and he was such a friendly and funny drunk.  He decided to sit and talk with us at our table outside at Pasta? (yup, the restaurant/bar/club is called Pasta?)when we decided to cool off.  He liked to put on imaginary glasses a lot and ( Read more... )

I had a fantastic shift today.  I worked with 2 other girls named Loralyn and Sarinthara and they are really fun to hang out with.  We talked about roommate problems, guy problems, and summing up the courage to put ourselves out there in the dating world.  We managed to get one of the girls to text a guy who she's interested in and who's also ( Read more... )

I'm pooped.  I worked at the concession stand at Toomey Field today for the track meet for over 5 hours, starting at 10:30am.  When I got back home, I cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom and now all I want to do is, first shower, then curl up in a ball on my bed and sleep.  I'm not all that hungry at the moment.  I think I'm just going to make ( Read more... )
