YAY! I'm now at college, all on my own. Many apologies for the hiatus in LJ entries this summer--hopefully at some point I'll find the time to go back and write it down. I moved in yesterday after a few days here in Philly, and I'm quickly finding my sense of directions. Now I'm off to din-din on the first floor of my door (whoo! what a trek!) ( Read more... )

Would anyone be up for going to the Kings of Leon/Secret Machines concert this Friday night at the Roseland? I'd love it if a bunch of people were going. Anyone's welcome, just let me know and I'll buy you a ticket on Thursday or Friday. The tickets are $26 (a little spendy, I know, but it'll be awesome!). Just contact me in the next day or so.

We just got back from the beach, and let me tell you--it was freakin amazing. After a long and hot drive south to Sihanoukville, we pulled into a little guesthouse on a public beach. The rates were good, and the rooms were decent. From there we drove to Sokha, a nice nice NICE resort. After checking out the prices, it became apparent that our ( Read more... )

I have such a hard time imagining where all the time has gone here in Cambodia.  Perhaps it was absorbed by the many sun rays, the dusty dirt roads, the grandeur of such beautiful ancient temples or the many meals of foreign delights.  Did I really spend 5 nights in Siem Reap?  Do I only have one week left?  I found myself letting go of my ( Read more... )

This place is still incredible (but then again, why would it not be??). The past few days we've hit most of the main temples here in the northern province of Siem Reap. Our trusty transportation has been the bed of a pickup truck, which gets us a few mixed looks, considering the fact that we're all very white (but working on changing that) ( Read more... )

One more thought...does anyone know how the lacrosse game went on Wednesday night?? I kinda missed it seeing as how I was in the San Fran airport...Many thanks if you could let me know by replying

Right now, it's almost 4 in the afternoon here in Phnom Penh, and in PDX its 1 am. So, folks, here's a message from the future: It's really cool. Actually, Phnom Penh is hot as hell, but still is just amazing. Our flights and connections were great, the 13-hr flight over the Pacific went quicker than expected, and I got through customs without a ( Read more... )

Tonight was our first Mock Trial meeting at the courthouse downtown, and it was sweet.  I sat and ate my pile of so-called Thai food from the Pioneer Place food court while talking with John Holloran about all the sweet things he did in college.  This just made me more and more excited about what I get to do with the next four years of my life.  ( Read more... )

Did I make it my New Years resolution to update once about every 10 days? (because I think that may become the trend)...I don't have much to report other than this week has been very mediocre it seems.  Tonight I've been in sort of an ambivalent but happy mood, despite how tired I've been.  The Freud outline for IH was a bitch....but since I had to ( Read more... )
