I finished my last final this eveing! I'm sooooo happy! (I'm even writing like I'm 16 because I'm so happy!) I survived a 17 credit load! (I was thinking about it and I actually spent 18 hours in classes each week). After that, I talked to my friend that just got engaged, and came home. Then I had a glass of dessert wine, and now I'm off to take a ( Read more... )

Right now I’m in Avellinos, a coffee shop en el centro (in downtown). I can see why my roomie Jacquie likes this place so much. It has a nice vibe and the espresso is really good. I know this because I ordered a tall double mocha. I never order double shots. The result being that I can’t taste the chocolate at all. It’s a good thing their espresso ( Read more... )

Some girl's Dads call them with important news. My dad calls me with the weather report. I kid you not. I was driving back up to Bellingham on Tuesday of last week (I had to go down to Seattle for an appointment), and I was on my way out the door and my phone rings. I answer it and my dad says, "Its supposed to be around 25 degrees tonight up there ( Read more... )

I found out that my Aunt Mae died today. She's been really sick for a long time, but she deteriorated very fast and died around noon. I wish I could go to her service, but we don't have the money to fly more than one person to Nebraska for it. And I'm already flying to California for Christmas. She was a wonderful person. She was a doctor that ( Read more... )

I hate it when I forget how big my butt is. Like when I'm trying to squeeze between two chairs that people are sitting in, and I think I'll have enough room, but then I end up bumping one of them with my rear end. Very embarrassing. Also embarrassing is when someone is trying to get by me on a narrow staircase, and I turn so that my face is towards ( Read more... )

Right now I'm looking at the whomping willow. Its not a real whomping willow, of course, it's just the tree outside of the underground coffeehouse that somewhat resembles the whomping willow in the third Harry Potter movie. Besides the whomping willow is a cool name, and it makes me happy to look at a tree that I can call a whomping willow for a ( Read more... )

So Saturday night I got a call from my brother who told me that it sounds like Dad's gall bladder was producing gall stones(later we found out that it wasn't really gall stones, more like gall sludge) , which in turn worked its way into the pancreas. This whole process is very painful for the individual undergoing it. However, it is not life ( Read more... )

My Dad is currently in the hospital, and they aren't sure what's wrong with him. He was supposed to come up here to visit today. I am internally freaking out. I spent the first half of the afternoon feeling sick, trying to sleep, and then needing to move somewhere, anywhere. I finally wrote about how I felt like my brain would explode and splatter ( Read more... )

I’m excited. I registered for classes, and I bought some very cheap wine for cooking, I also had a bad experience with a needle. Registration usually is an exercise in raising my blood pressure and cursing at the computer. I remember way back in freshman year when Aunge and I would try to register. We would spend a good 45 minutes attempting to ( Read more... )
