well, I interned for Basic Rights Oregon and all I got were two bloody ankles. to make a long story short, I went in for my first day and a combination of unbelievable factors and events convinced me almost instantly that it was going to be a disapointing internship, so I decided not to go back. I am frustrated and sad to say the least, but I am ( Read more... )

ok. i'm here.

here is portland. here is my mom's house. here is nick's house. here is intern-land. here is a lovely house with a garden where i am housitting.

so i'm lots of different places.

haven't quite moved everything up from corvallis, i'll finish that this weekend.

i'll compose a long emotional post sometime this weekend.

the woman I played tennis with all year just stopped by to give me a present. i had to cancel our last tennis date because of trying to finish my stupid finals, so she came to say goodbye. she is sooooo sweet. she gave me yummy chocolate carmels, some tea bags, and a gorgeous GREEN (how did she know!?!) tea mug ( Read more... )

in 45 minutes i am going to bake a berry crisp. nick and i will eat it all. and my brain will feel the joy of being momentarily focused on crisp oats, sweet brown sugar, and juicy blackberries instead of stupid stinky essay writing ( Read more... )

I currently have 3 to do lists going at the same time. I have "To Do While Still in Corvallis," "To Do This Summer," and "To Do- Correspondence." There are tests to finish, letters to write, things to pack, schedules to organize, and a future to plan. Luckily I have my trusty black day planner and my bright yellow mini-legal pads to make it all ( Read more... )

It kind of felt like we were saying goodbye, although we'll see each other in class tomorrow, and we're still going to the gym next week, and I will see her in Portland over the summer... but still, we're approaching the end of our year together. it's been great to get to know her again ( Read more... )

finally a userpic that is actually me. thank you eli for informing me that livejournal had finally started to cater to those of us too lazy to figure out how to resize pictures on our own.

that's really all i have. i'm going to bed because Gabby and i are meeting at 8am to take a practice GRE test...

the paper is done. and my legs are smooth (well, one 2x2 inch region on one leg is smooth). and now it's time to move on to the next task ( Read more... )

i think it's obivious that i do not want to work on my constitutional law paper. how do i know this? well, for the past 15 minutes i have been plucking my leg hair stuble with tweezers and i am finding it exceedingly more enjoyable than writing my paper.

i just watched the national spelling bee. good fun. a little less exciting since all the hype following "Spellbound" has taken away a bit of the counter-culture geek appeal, spelling bees are trendy now which is hard to believe. the top three finalists were all girls!! way to represent. i was rooting for the cute little gal from Alberta, Canada..
