Holy shit. I just applied to graduate. I've been working on grad school applications for a while, but this feels so very different. I'm not sure why, but it feels so odd. Maybe because I had to send applications off to get into college and didn't have to apply to graduate from high school. You'd think the fact that of the people I'm close to ( Read more... )

Snow!!!This past week on my way home from class a few random flakes were floating down as I passed the National Institute of Health, but it all melted on contact. But when I came out of the grocery store nearly 2 hours ago, there were tiny flakes coming down again...and because it's been cold, they stuck. And are still sticking. As far as I know ( Read more... )

Wow. I randomly went to the homepage of the postal museum to see if it mentioned anything yet about the upcoming opening of the exhibit I worked on, and i saw a bit on the side that said "In Memory of W. Wilson Hulme II." I immediately started to tear up. I'm not sure why, because although Wilson was a curator at NPM, he was a philatelist so ( Read more... )

Wow. In just a few minutes I'm going to head over to campus for my first class of the semester. The first class of my last undergraduate semester. Even as I stared at grad school applications over break (which still aren't completed, shit!), it didn't really hit home that it's nearly over. I swear it was just yesterday that fall semester ( Read more... )

Apparently the link from yesterday was part of a mock_the_stupid post that finally showed up on my friends list today. The post itself is available here. I think the comments are almost funnier than the horrible essay itself.

One of rissyau's friends posted this in a comment on her last lj entry (still not entirely sure what the point was). The two of them looked at it freaked out over the poor grammar and spelling from what the friend was informed to be a 13/14 year old. I freaked out over the content. Someone did not read any of their sources for this paper. Not one at ( Read more... )

Ok, so I've been sitting on the website buyjasonkitty.com for days, waiting until I could show Manda the funny kitty pictures. Showed her today, and then finally took a look at the videos. This video left me and Manda laughing so hard that we were crying. Not just tearing up, but actually crying. So of course we watched it again, and then Ben ( Read more... )

I know that Marissa just posted this in her journal so Ben and Manda will see it there, but this is especially for Josh though I'm sure other people will enjoy it.

Avenue Jew is probably one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. I feel a desperate need to get tickets to Avenue Q now. Or Fiddler on the Roof. Or both (despite the fact that ( Read more... )

Holy shit. Just one week of classes left and i'll be done with fall semester of my senior year. It feels as if i don't have much left to do, since i don't have any final exams. Of course, between now and December 13, I do have two original papers, the final drafts of two papers, my internship portfolio (with its own paper), and a presentation, ( Read more... )

Wow. As of today my parents have been married for 25 years!! They're off in Aruba until next Tuesday and i'm insanely jealous. I'm bogged down with homework and classes and internship and honor society induction planning and they're enjoying warm weather and sun. I know that it's there anniversary trip, but i hope they bring me back something ( Read more... )
