You scored as Kathryn. You are Kathryn. Ridiculously smart, people in your classes can find you a little intimidating sometimes- but that's only because they don't know you. Lacking in many life skills, like waking up, eating properely, or finding your way anywhere (except the boston subway), you still manage to project an air of confidence, self- ( Read more... )

As always, I had a lovely time in Boston. The rides there and back were the most stressful of any of my previous experiences with the drive, because we hit terrible weather both ways. We were the only van who didn’t choose stop in New York overnight due to bad driving conditions, and although I’m glad we got back, the trip was not without its ( Read more... )

The second Knox County Symphony concert took place Saturday night, and I think it went off very well. There were no major hiccups or mistakes, which is something of a concern when there are soloists. It’s hard to predict how they’ll react to the audience, and I’ve been in more than one concert where it became painfully obvious that the soloist was ( Read more... )

There is of course the inevitable post-departure pensiveness, but it’s only three weeks until ( Read more... )

Given that he was originally scheduled to fly out on what became the fifth largest storm in Massachusetts history, it’s almost miraculous that he was able to catch the second plane taking off after Logan reopened (with only one runway cleared) and get here less than twenty four hours later than planned ( Read more... )

I feel I can happily report that I will enjoy all of my classes this semester. History of the English Language is a touch off-putting because it is far more like a linguistics class than an English class, and so I don’t feel quite as secure from the start. But I think it’ll be a good class regardless, and he gives us tea and cookies at the ( Read more... )

After unnecessarily long internal debate, the decision to make this journal was finally made when I suddenly realized what I wanted my username to be. I've justified it to myself not only as an amazing way to avoid work, but in the hopes that I'll be abroad next year, and that this will be a tool to keep in touch with everyone ( Read more... )
