I know I'm going to regret this when my alarm goes off at 7:30 a.m. and I have to drag myself out of bed for class but it's been so.freakin.long. Any entry is way overdue ( Read more... )

It's been a while since my last update, and as usual, much has happened. Sometimes I really can't get over how "sitcom inspired" life here seems to be. After an oddly anti-social start to the semester, things have really picked up. It was a three-day weirdness, I guess. A lot of it had to do about my grandiose expectations for the semester but I'm ( Read more... )

So...independent city life has begun. So far so good :) The past week has been ridiculously hectic with the start of my summer job and moving in to the new house. I would wake up at 6 a.m. for work, be home by 4 p.m. and then spend the rest of the night shopping and setting up the house with Lauren. It was exhausting but the rooms are finally ( Read more... )

I'm speechless. I didn't think a person was capable of being this disrespectful, this inconsiderate. I don't think I've ever spoken so harshly to anyone before. But he deserved it. And I don't regret a SINGLE word I said ( Read more... )

I have a class in half an hour that I haven't been to in....I can't even remember. I've dug myself into a bit of a hole. It's a 25 person academic writing course and something (even though it's small) is due practically every class. I've been in denial but I've really got to sort this out. I've run out of excuses. Someone suggessted urinary tract ( Read more... )

I officially cannot absorb any more information about cultural pluralism or ethnic conflict or the effects of French colonialism. My developing areas midterm (round two) is tomorrow but I couldn't be any less stressed. I probably should be, but I'm just not in the mood. I'm going to hope for the best and if I do worse....so what? Not the end of the ( Read more... )

I've probably gained 10 pounds this week. I was this bundle of energy in Quebec City, but my inner hermit came out these past couple of days. It's been nice, though. Monday marks the last quarter of the semester and I can't afford to sleep in till one or watch four consecutive episodes of "Lost." The upcoming workload is insane. I'm dreading the to ( Read more... )

I'm home for reading week and an update is lonnnggg overdue. The boy situation is pretty much settled. We're going to work on a friendship and see where it goes from there. I had to lie and say that I was no longer interested in him as more than a friend. It was difficult to do because I obviously haven't thrown away my feelings for him, but I ( Read more... )

I have a developing areas midterm tomorrow afternoon. But I think the events of the past few days call for an entry. I've been torturing myself over something that is entirely out of my control. I'm good now, though. Very good. I realized that I've done nothing wrong. This boy seems to have commitment/decision/god-knows-what issues that he has to ( Read more... )

I'm the most vulnerable I've been in a while and it's actually scary. I want to give this a chance. Give him a chance. We're in a state of limbo. Everything is out in the open but it's up to one of us to come forward and say something concrete. But I certainly won't. At least not until I have some liquor in my system tomorrow night ( Read more... )
