There's been a lot going on lately. I've been wanting to write, but haven't made time for myself to do so in a long while. I will start with something positive that happened. Crystal, Heather's sister, came to stay in the dorms the weekend after Easter. (The story of how she got here I will reserve for another entry.) We had a lot of fun ( Read more... )

Ah, memes... Horribly addictive.

You scored 84% Unique.

If you scored high, then there's that ineffable something about you that I would like to get to know. If you didn't, it's okay... you're probably every other guy's dream!

I just added the same Opera class that Heather's taking! I'm looking forward to it. So now I'm taking 18 credits. I also have a work-study position now! I'm going to be woring in the choir office with Doc, Annemarie, and Katie for the rest of this year and next year! I'm excited about that too! Hopefully next year I'll be in Chorale as well ( Read more... )

It's amazing how much can happen in a week. I haven't been on LJ since Thursday night, and it took forever to catch up with reading everyone's entries. I haven't even read comments yet! Shocking, I know. I don't want to go to class in the morning! Spring break spoiled me. I'll get over it soon. My brain is shutting down. I can always tell, ( Read more... )

I'm terrible at replying to comments in a timely manner. My apologies ( Read more... )

I had my first encounter with the TV show The Bachelor last week, and it's been niggling at the back of my brain ever since. It came on right after House, MD (the best series ever!) and I was curious, so I stayed to see what it was about. I watched in horror as gorgeous young women used their beauty as a weapon against each other to gain the ( Read more... )

It seems like every time I come home, my mom is listening to a new old CD. To clarify, wonderful old music that she loves but had never before introduced me to. For example, I am currently enjoying The Carpenters. I'd listened to a couple of their songs before ("Top of the World" & "Merry Cristmas Darling"), and liked them, but didn't know they ( Read more... )

Believing

You believe in me,
So I believe in me.
Because I believe in me,
I can believe in others,
And in the
Goodness of the world.

This poem was written by a young boy with muscular dystrophy. He died of complications of the disease on June 22, 2004, at age 13.

In various news:
~Snowtubing was a blast.
~I have succumbed to the pressure, and have at last procured a MySpace. It's new though, so don't expect too much from it.
~I finally read Pride and Prejudice over the past two days, and it was great ( Read more... )

My dilemma is resolved at last! I shall double-major in English AND biology! I feel good, about that anyway. I talked to my advisor today, and he told me about a brand new degree they're offering; Bachelor of Arts in Biology. It's positively delightful, because it only requires a few more credits than the biology minor class requirements I ( Read more... )
