My new peacoat was spirited away from the Val coatroom this evening.

Ugh.  People should be trustworthy.

I'm sad.

Aaaahhhhh I don't know what to DO ( Read more... )

So, I'm in NH now..... it feels so strange to be HOME-- especially after a normal day of classes.  Then suddenly, after a mere two hour drive, I'm in a different world.....

It also feels strange to be home so EARLY.  I really wasn't aware that most colleges don't have a full week's break at Thanksgiving-- I suppose it was the same last year, but I ( Read more... )

I just discovered that the endowment of my college is roughly comparable to the GDP of the entire country of Samoa.

That's 1,600 spoiled college kids trumping 185,000 impoverished islanders.

If stuff has gotten you down, go outside and sit and enjoy the sunshine!  Drink some tea, go for a walk, collect some fall leaves...... and don't forget to BREATHE!

So, feel better!  And I hope things start looking up soon.  I ( Read more... )

My teen-age years are officially over!

That means I can stop wearing my baseball hat backwards and listening to rap music.  Because that's obviously what I've spent the past 10 years doing.

Obviously.
