sorry for not updating in a few days. it's because i've been an utterly boring person. really didn't do much with the rest of my weekend. i was going to go out again on friday night, but i was still hungover from the night before. incidentally, that was probably my first real hangover experience, and it wasn't even that bad. i don't get hungover in ( Read more... )

i'm really drunk right now, which is why Jimmy requested that i post something. just so y'all know, it was a fun night, and i'm feeling quite happy! love you!

p.s.- Jimmy, as long as you don't tell your mom (who would tell my mom) about this, i swear i won't ever tell my mom (who would tell your mom) about any time that you get drunk!

Kiran: (nods sagely in my direction) How you feeling Cynthia?
Me: Not too bad.
Kiran: I need to adopt your habits.
Me: What are those?
Kiran: It's like....drunk....but not fucked up....

it occurs to me that i haven't spoken much yet about the people. admittedly, i'm having a hard time making friends with Australians (in spite of the fact that i'm completely surrounded by them). i'm really no good at just walking up to random people and starting a conversation. actually, the more i think about it, the more i realize it's a miracle ( Read more... )

so every Tuesday night here at Emmanuel College (my residence college), there is an optional formal dinner. we get dressed up- not too dressy, but relatively nice- and don black robes (open at the front, which is why we still have to where something nice underneath), and head down to the cafeteria. we sit at tables that are covered with table ( Read more... )

i am so painfully AWKWARD.

and dark chocolate tim tams are even better than the original. trust me. i've eaten an entire package.
