I've been feeling increasingly cryptic lately. I don't know why. I don't feel like writing long posts. I'd rather listen to music for hours on end than go outside. I am not withdrawn; I don't even feel drawn (without drawn ( Read more... )

My plane tickets and itinerary came via FedEx today! YAY! Finally, the reality of actually studying abroad is sinking in. I'm really excited :)

I've been reading and knitting like no other; to celebrate, a book meme courtesy of cbertscha) pick up a book which is the closest to you at the moment ( Read more... )

Today is the first day in over three weeks I haven't done at least thirty minutes of exercise. But I'm going to run around the neighborhood in a little while, just to get my blood moving. I spent Father's Day with mine and the rest of my family. We saw X-Men: The Last Stand at the theater, which was approximately 80% true to the comic books, yet ( Read more... )

I earned an A in Science and Theology! :D ( Read more... )
