Today is the one month mark. In exactly one month from today, I will be on a plane to Chile. I have to say that I'm just a tad nervous. About a lot. And honestly, a lot more than just this trip, too. I know this trip won't be a walk in the park, but I've been preparing for it a while now. I pretty much know what to expect (at least, as much ( Read more... )

So the funeral service was nice. I have to say that I'm glad it's all over, though. It was really draining. I think everyone's still really tired ( Read more... )

So is it weird that I was having an interesting dream, woke up, and went back to sleep because I didn't want to be done with the dream yet? I don't remember much now, but I know it featured the cast of the original CSI, and there were exploding pumpkins. Kinda cool ( Read more... )

I'm watching What Not to Wear. Friends, if you ever sign me up for that thing, I will have to come and kick your asses. No offense, and I like finding new clothes, but the girl on that show is SO arrogant and mean, I think I'd just have to kill her or cry. Probably a little of both ( Read more... )

Seriously, I hate Visas...not the credit cards, the government documents. The Chilean Consulate in Washington, DC just called me, to say that they're just now sending me back the envelope that I sent to them LAST week. But this woman was considerably nicer than the last woman I talked to. Is it a rule that you have to be rude to work at a ( Read more... )

I saw X-Men 3 tonight with my brother. EXCELLENT movie!!!! I'm definitely buying it when it comes out on DVD. I may even go see it in the theatre again. Good movie, and I heartily recommend it if you like the X-Men movies at all. This one was the best of the 3 so far, and left it wide open at the very end for another one. Yay!!! :-D ( Read more... )

I get so complacent when I'm at home. Despite good intentions, I always end up lazing around all day and not doing much of anything, let alone anything productive. At least it's summer, and I don't really HAVE to be doing anything today. But I hope I can pull out of this complacency and get SOMETHING done this summer before I leave ( Read more... )

My TV is gone. My daddy came and took it away today. I'll get it back. But for tonight, I'm here in my dorm room, and my TV is 45 minutes away. In Mallory's world, that is NOT cool. At least, not when there's also no one around to distract me. Luckily, my mommy sent me her laptop (mine's still not working right) to play with tonight so I'm ( Read more... )

I love The Iliad. I was watching Troy on tv last night, and I started wondering just how close to the actual classical story the movie was. So naturally, I pull out my copy of The Iliad (not nearly as nice as the copy I hope to have someday) and started reading. After a little while, I was wondering why I kept losing my place...and normally when ( Read more... )

Beyond this sentence, I'm not gonna comment on the fact that I haven't updated this journal since January...I didn't update, I am now, end of story ( Read more... )
