totally obsessed with coffee and coffee shops (there are so many in san francisco it's going to be the death of me and/or heaven). yesterday was really good, i have seriously great groups of friends and that is probably so uninteresting for anyone else to read but that's all i can really think of to say. the 4 of us thought we were crashing a semi- ( Read more... )

i am doing freakishly well in school and i can't help but semi-passively brag about it to people. i'm bringing Disciple and Punish home to read over thanksgiving and i'm going to try and understand it. i'm also reading the Beauty Myth for a research paper and it's really good, my mom gave me the copy that i have and she highlighted certain parts ( Read more... )

i really enjoy friends' family, it makes me kindof emotional. i am also looking to see my family (family family and friend family) in a couple days. november in belmont is always nice, windy and gray.

participated in a semi-flash mob/protest in a budget cuts forum that totally featured a mother ducker & the eggs original song!! semi-yelled in the face of people who make a couple hundred thousand dollars a year allocating budget cuts to people who make less than 40 thousand. lots of emotional stuff all the time, good and bad. sometimes its worth ( Read more... )

also, i've really been getting great at having an attitude when necessary, which is such a good skill

In a rare moment of optimism, productivity, and (!!!) self-confidence. These are the best things but the things that are not permanent, and I am wondering now how to make them stay but that’s probably a waste of time. I have been talking in such a healthy and honest way with Ilya’s girlfriend Rosie and I think that is contributing to my optimism, ( Read more... )
