My elbows really hurt :( I have really really bad eczema on both of them (at least I think its eczema), and have since December. First, I thought it was just dry skin, so I tried exfoliating and lotion. It didn't work, so I tried heavy-duty cremes. That didn't work, so I switched to hydrocortisone (1%, you know, over-the-counter). That hasn't ( Read more... )

 Despite the awful weather, the AEPhi car wash made approximately $500. And we only washed about a dozen cars. People were very generous, giving us donations without making us wash their cars. Marvin came! It made me happy. His car needed it. Tom also came; I didn't even know he had his car in RVA with him. Flick came, and Sam (his girlfriend) was ( Read more... )

 Charleton Heston died. Moses died. How will we ever get out of Egypt now? We were planning to make a run for it in two weeks, and now we're screwed.

So AEPhi was helping out this morning at the Monument 10K. Of course, the only ones of us who showed up are the six people who come to everything. We expected a couple more, but whatever. We didn't really do anything. We were supposed to help watch the kids after they finished the Kid's Fun Run (1 mile, and they finished in just about 7 minutes) ( Read more... )

Ugh. A bad day. First it was just hard to wake up, but not a big deal. I broke a nail loading up my computer into my bag, but also not a big deal. There was so much bird crap on my window that I had to find a wipe and wash it up. My first class wasn't a big deal. My second class caused some problems. We were asked to help bring over some gaments ( Read more... )

 I managed to screw up this skirt so badly and I don't even know how I did it. There are these marks, called notches (the link actually isn't how we do our notches professionally but it's the same idea), that tell you which pieces go together. You could have one notch and another pattern piece with one notch matches to it, but the piece with two ( Read more... )

Last night was an interesting night. It's been a hard weekend - I have tons of work to do that I just can't seem to finish, I got some not-so-good, very anxiety-inducing news, and oh, wait - more work ( Read more... )

I was on campus for 13 hours today. I wore a white tshirt - I've had it on for 13 1/2 hours and it's still clean. I'm pretty proud of myself.

A school mate was shot last night by a seventeen year old. He was robbed at gunpoint and he gave up his keys and walked away. He was shot in the back as he was walking away. I didn't know him, but I should ( Read more... )
