All alone, unable to see and really hear, with people talking about me but never really to me. Yanked around having food shoved in my mouth and getting it all over my face ( Read more... )

I feel really old. I'm 20 now. I know it's silly to feel so old, but I do. I'm officially not a kid anymore, sure I've been a legal adult for two years, but now I'm not a teenager. It's just bizarre I guess. I'm working a real full time job (that I love) and it's wierd to think that it's been two years since I graduated from high school. It feels ( Read more... )

Going to two weddings in the past month made me realize that I'll be going to a lot of them in the next ten or so years. When did I get this old? I have married friends! Crazy ( Read more... )

I should be studying for my bio anthro final. Instead I am procrastinating on the Internet. Go figure. At least I have most of the terms on the study guide filled out. That counts for something, right ( Read more... )

Procrastinating as the semester draws to a close, instead of working on my second to last story for reporting I browsed through my old picture files, looking at what I saw through my camera lens first semester. I realized I frame my subjects often and have a unique and beautiful perspective of the world ( Read more... )

As I glanced over the headlines on CNN.com, attempting to stay somewhat current with the news, one headline demaned my attention. "Author Kurt Vonnegut dies." You see, Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors. In my junior year of high school, I did my major research paper for English on him, exploring the social and religious commentary in Cat's ( Read more... )

It's been a bizarre couple of days. I've been seriously looking into possible majors that would help me in working with the disabled. I've been talking to my Mom a lot and I think she's starting to understand and come around ( Read more... )
