i started typing 'spring semester' but spring feels really far away.  i start the rest of my classes tomorrow, and tomorrow i have my first ever 8:30!  lol, i think i may be the only one to ever get excited for that.  we'll see how long it lasts.

today i tutored at a different place than i used to.  the kids are younger (1st-4th grade) and i heart ( Read more... )

jess: is this a passive aggressive rebellion?
me: sure
jess: i do not support this

i was once called a "late bloomer" [by jess] and i think it applies to more than one aspect of my personality.  sometimes i find myself doing things that most other people have probably first tried at a younger age.  it's not that i'm trying to catch up to my peers, ( Read more... )

1. LIVING ARRANGEMENTS - a triple with our own bathroom in a fairly new dorm that's more like a hotel. all of my belongings in my wardrobe, desk, under the bed, or on a shelf in the bathroom ( Read more... )

the coolest thing i bought in Dublin is a CD w/ acoustic covers of pop hits such as "toxic," "naughty girl," and "no diggity."

it was a great week... i'm such a dork but i liked the business stuff as well as going out during our free time.  i won't talk about the former though, b/c then i'll just prove how big a dork i am.  most of the pubs were ( Read more... )

i was supposed to go to the Mass at my HS today, but a friend ended up not being able to give me a ride and in the end i just didn't feel like making the effort to go myself.  i only feel bad b/c i told some friends i'd be going, then was a no-show, but we all plan on seeing each other soon anyway.  irwin and i wrapped egg rolls to be cooked 2moro ( Read more... )

"ok, dad, let's do it.  let's get the shit kicked out of us by love." -said by a young character, probably the youngest to be so level-headed about love, in Love Actually.  it was the 2nd movie i've seen in 24 hours with its setting in London.  the other one being Closer, the two movies deal with the same general idea but are definitely polar ( Read more... )

semester's over, thank goodness.  i dunno how much longer i could've done the school thing, it sure could be a drag sometimes.  of course other times it was great- like watching A Christmas Story for the very first time ever with Bridget before trekking to the library to study for finals, and spontaneously getting food from arthur ave. and making ( Read more... )
