I'm throwing a party this weekend. Sort of. Jointly. At some dude's apartment. Some dude that I know. I think I've begun to use the word "dude" too widely...like today, in Arabic, when I was asked to explain the historical story behind the movie '300', and I wound up giving a detailed explanation about how some dudes got really upset with some ( Read more... )

Damn, sons! I always have all this stuff to write about, and then I pick really inopportune times to update. Oh well. Right now I'm stressing about stuff I have to do and listening to Frou Frou (just that one song) and Lily Allen. I love me some ghetto London lady singers!

I made a poor attempt at writing my policy paper tonight. Do you want to read what I've gotten so far? I think my main problem with writing is that I am pretty good at it, I have been validated in the past for my writing, and so I think there is little wrong with it.

Oh man, you guys, this weekend was hella crazy! We decided to have a Texas-wide aiesec orientation, because there are apparently new LCs sprouting up everywhere down here. The festivities started Friday night with some karaoke--which I was sort of apprehensive about. I got a ride from one of my friends, and he detoured us without telling me to ( Read more... )

Well, shit, you guys. Here's like 3 pages of word vomit for you ( seriously, this is some nonsense )
