Well, class was rather tedious yesterday so I watched the Astros beat the Braves 10-5 on my computer. I was that girl. Anyway, a lot is going on this weekend . . . the ever amusing David Waddilove is coming into town for the weekend and my friend, Amber, has planned a thing for my birthday tomorrow at PF Chang's in North Austin. Currently I am ( Read more... )

So my family woke up this morning at 4 am, all packed up,and went over to my aunt's to get her, my cousin who just had a baby last week, my uncle, the baby, and my grandpa but they realized they could not leave because it is taking 11 hours to go 50 miles. The plan was to go stay with my mother's family in San Antonio, which is 200 milles away. ( Read more... )

Class is going well; we're actually discussing some fairly interesting matters and case studies. David Waddilove was supposed to come here this weekend via Houston but thanks to hurricane Rita that looks like it will not be happening. Mandatory evacuations are beginning in Galveston (about an hour from where I grew up) tomorrow. My parents are ( Read more... )

Ok, since I have been in Austin I have given up coffe for green tea (those of you who know me well know how momentous this is, because my room always smelled like freaking Starbucks), I want desperately to buy a Prius (though this most likely will not happen), and I am shopping at Urban Outfitters. No seriously ( Read more... )

Though this is exceptionally frustrating it is important to remember how many ( Read more... )

In a Past Life...

You Were: A Blind Warrior.

Where You Lived: Poland.

How You Died: Typhoid fever.

A Blind warrior? That does not make any sense.

Well, today I begin grad school. Going from such a tiny college to the biggest university in the country has been quite interesting, but mostly frustrating. It certainly is different from the way Sewanee held your hand. I miss that. Today I have Ethics from 4:30-7:30. Yes, all of my classes except for one are at that same time. Plus I have a ( Read more... )

I feel like school will never start. It finally begins Wednesday, but I have been preparing for it for weeks! Anyway, I forgot how freaking hot Texas is at this time of year. I thought July was hot,but no, end of August and the beginning of September makes Hell feel like a sauna (I bet). I really should not be complaining in lieu of what my ( Read more... )

Ok, I know that I never update, so I apologize, but for those interested I am now living in Austin, TX about to begin grad school in counseling. Anyway, you can contact me at ( Read more... )
