I'm really excited. My Nature Writing and Photography class just gave me an excuse to go out and buy a new journal! I love buying journals but I never fill them up when I write in them, so I cut myself off.  We're supposed to journal while going to the same spot every week and staying there for an hour doing nothing. It sounds like it'll be ( Read more... )

I lost my wireless on my computer last night. It said to uninstall and reinstall it, so I uninstalled it, but when I went to reinstall it, it was no where to be found! In the process I've managed to reinstall every single other network adapter that I have. I'm really mad at my computer right now. Just to prove that there was some machinery out  ( Read more... )

Since I last updated:
I've run a half-marathon
I've learned the immense value of printing out reservation confirmations for a hostel
I've had dessert at Death by Chocolate
I've bench pressed a whopping 50 lbs
I've eaten jellyfish
I've seen a Cirque du Soleil show
I've almost made a berry tart and backed out of it 3 times (I WILL do it next week, I WILL, I ( Read more... )

I'm frustrated right now. It was nasty and snowing in some areas this morning, but now its beautiful, and I've been stuck doing homework the entire day. I'm really sick of homework. I need to do something other than school for a little while. In that sense, I'll be really happy that I've graduated once August rolls around.

Thanks for listening to ( Read more... )

I spent a bunch of my money today. All of it couldn't really be avoided, so I'm not that upset about it. I finally officially registered for the 1/2 marathon, which cost $92. My roommate told me it would be about $50. I think she must have registered much earlier last year because their registration price in January was $60 (Canadian). If I had ( Read more... )

...Oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright...
It was fun to go shopping with my roommates. I was looking for a skirt/nice top ensamble and I tried something on that I thought I was going to get, and I thought a dress looked pretty on the hangar so I just grabbed it spontaneously and decided to try it on. However, I'm not very good at ( Read more... )

When I was at work this week I saw this carved into a desk by some students. The way it works is that someone will write something, then another person will respond, so it reads like a conversation between three people:

--If I don't shine, you don't shine.

--I shine.

--Me too.

--Word!

I am officially training for a half-marathon! I'm telling everyone I can think of! Because that will make it way harder to back out of it! This is actually a bad day to be writing that statement because I ran four miles on Wednesday in the pouring down rain, and then I got sick. I'm supposed to run six miles today, and I really want to (its a ( Read more... )

No one knows who wrote the original version of this poem. But I thought it was really cute and I hope you enjoy it! Merry Christmas!
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the casa,
Not a creature was stirring - ¡Caramba! ¿Qué pasa?

Los niños were tucked away in their camas,
Some in long underwear, some in pijamas,
While ( Read more... )
