So I went away and didn't post for a very long time. In that intervening time, I have gradumicated from GW! (sort of). They're remediating me (bleh) and so I have to do a few more months working in the counseling lab at school, seeing clients, and I have to attend the correlating internship class  twice a week until the end of June. So the tyranny ( Read more... )

It's that time of year, kiddles.... STRESS TIME!!!

The semester is almost done, and so naturally, I am more stressed out than ever. As soon as one thing gets cleared up, another drops in its place. The worst part? I'm PANICKING.

Panic = BAD.

Grumble grumble, time for bed.

I never considered myself a dancer. Or at least, not a good one (or halfway decent, depending on how modest I'm feeling). As a child I cycled through ballet, tap, and jazz lessons, spending one or two years with each before abandoning it. I was never horrible, but never great, either. My mother once told me, "You know all the steps, but you dance ( Read more... )

I feel betrayed by a TV show.

This is pathetic.

This is a probable sign that I have become over-involved with Lost.  Graaahhh!!!

So today I was at GW, doing paperwork and going to class. In between the end of paperwork and the start of class --- brief moments though they were --- I decided to venture into the beautiful outdoors for a walk. As I'm walking down Eye St. past the library, there next to the hot dog stand stood David Arquette. Apparently he's in DC promoting his ( Read more... )

I saw Ted Leo and the Pharmacists for the third time tonight. That man and his band are some of the best performers out there today. The show was a nice blend of old favorites ("Me and Mia," "Timorous Me," "Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone") and new tracks off Living with the Living. Although I haven't been as entranced with Living as I was with ( Read more... )

Many of you might know my opinion on name-changing upon marriage. For those of you who don't, let me explain. No, let me sum up: I believe that the convention of the woman taking her husband's name and any future children also taking the husband's name is just that --- a convention. It's an artifact of our patriarchal society. The marriage ( Read more... )

First: I live under a rock. It is called grad school.

Second: I think I may have happened upon a band that most everyone I know will like. I read about them in the Express on the metro today. They are called Winterpills. You can listen to many of their songs in totality on aforelinked website. It seemed a good sign when the article described ( Read more... )
