A little bit of linkage:

Bethany was in the Miami Student. (and not in the Police Beat, kthnx.)

Ohio gets more attention as an intolerant backwater state.

The actual issues of the campaign, GOP and Democrats, side by side (ish).

And in other news, Maggie came, we talked, we watched Pride and Prejudice, we had pizza, it was awesome ( Read more... )

So...one day of orientation down, one to go, and OU still has yet to impress me. I do not have high hopes for tomorrow, either, since it's the College of Education orientation, and they obviously suck at life.

So I'm officially employed at Taco Bell. There is a list of about a hundred rules ("no dangling earrings", "use up all the tomatoes before opening a new box", "the customer is always right", etc., all shit I've heard and learned a zillion times in my EIGHT YEARS of working food service) and a list of about a hundred different menu items (and their ( Read more... )

So, kids.
We're about to start Cold War II (maybe we'll get to go to the moon again!), everyone with a TV seems to have replaced Jesus with Michael Phelps, and my whole f'list is having a quarter-life crisis.

I love the solidarity. Isn't it nice knowing we're not alone?

I had to take the written portion of the driving test to get an Ohio license (WTF) and I missed 8 (you can only miss 10 before you fail) which I think is okay considering I had no idea I was going to have to take it and consequently didn't know things like "For how long could a license ( Read more... )

Well. I'm here. All of my frantic driving around over the weekend is done. Emily's wedding was beautiful and she looked gorgeous. (My pictures are here) Hanging out with Bethany and Megan in Oxford was a lot of fun. (What we did: drank, watched movies, drank, slept, made pizza, sat outside on her front lawn, drank) It was nice to spend a good ( Read more... )

My last day of work is tomorrow. I'm a little surprised at the reaction to my leaving, I'm not going to lie; I felt like I'd be able to leave without much fuss and without people really caring that much, but there's been lunches and parties and cards and phone calls...it's weird. I spent a year and a half really thinking that most people didn't ( Read more... )
