(Untitled)
I have officially applied to grad school. All my application stuff is done and sent. Just one school, one program. I think I'll get in, but I'm nervous about it anyway because it's advanced standing (meaning I get to skip 1 year). I'm keeping my fingers crossed. -
Happy New Year!
1. Where did you begin 2008? At Kristen & Noah’s, playing rockband, drinking, and dancing. Then coughing for an hour straight around 2am ( Read more... ) -
It looked fun
I stole this from Diana and Jenn :)
List all the names and nicknames you've gone by, and the people who've called you by those names.

No-Mo-Cancer!
For those of you who don't know, I had a huge celebration for my five year anniversary of being in remission yesterday. While I knew I was having this party, I had nothing to do with the planning process, and most of the details were kept secret.

late night rambling
Today I went through and read all of my journal entries from the time I was diagnosed with cancer until six months post remission. I forgot how truly difficult that time was for me, and how positively great my friends were throughout that time. It is just about five years since I've been in remission, and that seems hard to believe. Since then I ( Read more... ) -
do squirrels grieve?
Even though my ride to work is only three miles, I notice so much more on my bike. I hear the birds chirping, smell the trees (and the pollen) in the air, and feel the wind against my skin. I frequently see squirrels on the sidewalk, and they usually run away from a bike as fast as they run away from cars. Yesterday, however, the squirrel I was ( Read more... ) -
This is just how nerdy I am
I have decided that in the year 2007 I am going to make reading a bigger priority. In order to keep track of whether I'm slipping or not, I will write everything down that I read and give my thoughts on the novel/book/play/whatever. Sometimes I'll write two sentences, and sometimes I'll write twenty. I will organize the books into the month I've ( Read more... ) -
surgery
After months of unexplainable knee pain, I finally went and got surgery. The result is that there's really nothing they can do about my knee pain. My doctor felt I had a tear in one of my muscles or tendens that could easily be repaired. As it turns out, my knee cap slides around a bit. This causes me a lot of pain, but apparently there is ( Read more... ) -
Gingy
I took Gingy to the vet Saturday because she has been peeing all over the place. She has also been somewhat lethargic, and her head has been shaking a little. She looked like she lost more weight as well ( Read more... ) -
