I'm currently working on a research project about how US undergraduate students conduct and write research papers, specifically history research papers.  John, the professor whom I am doing research for, wants examples and articles of how students go about doing this.  It was kinda odd trying to explain to the research librarian what exactly I was ( Read more... )

My mom's friend John is a professor at De Montfort University in Leicester, England.  He's doing a research project of a comparison between English universities' history departments and American.  And I've been recommended to do the American side of the research!!  It is only a couple of weeks' worth of research, but its a great opportunity for me ( Read more... )

I'm back at the apartment.  Matt pretty much asked me back a week ago, but when I left I told him that I'd be gone for a week and I stuck to that.  I didn't want to move back prematurely without thinking things over and feeling like rushing back.  I think the week really gave me time to think about our relationship and what the future might hold.  ( Read more... )

Matt wants to get back together.  He's really upset about this and he wants me to move back in and wants us to see where we are in a year in regards to my career plans.  I think I'm okay with this.  I also suggested that I do an internship out of state when I don't have classes in July and August this summer.  That way I can see if I like working ( Read more... )

Matt bought some GI Joes this weekend.  I guess he wanted to buy them because the one came with a tank.  This lead to him buying some other GI Joe yesterday and now there's little army men in my living room.  I must say, I'm getting a little boyed out.  Not only does Matt have GI Joes, but also these little figurines for some game called War Hammer ( Read more... )

OMG, you guys.  OM Freakin G.  Yesterday I got a text message from Matt "I am a Jerk" Zayas.  He called me "old friend".  Excuse me?  He lied to me, ignored me, and emotionally cheated (if not physically) on me; I think I qualify as more than "old friend".  He texted messaged me a couple of times and even called (before I knew it was him, and I had ( Read more... )

Last night, Matt and I were watching "Last Comic Standing" and a guy from Israel was a prop comic/impressionist.  And he did one were he put on a blue curly wig and said, "I'm Grover!" and then shouted "Near!" and ran about with his arms flailing.  I was laughing my ass off when Matt turned to me and said, "I don't get it."  I looked at him and was ( Read more... )
