So Thanksgiving was good - it was nice to spend time in the sun with my family and forget about school for a little while. I had a little glow from the sun going, though I suppose now it's not there so much anymore. Ah well... I'll get tan again when I go down to Naples, Florida for Christmas. Actually speaking of that, I am freaking excited ( Read more... )

Well here I am in Nassau after a night on the big Disney boat. It's been pretty good so far - just spending lots of time with the kids and my family, plus I had a massage and a facial last night which, I have to say, was absolutely glorious. But backtracking a bit, I've been swamped with work and studying again up until I left yesterday morning. I ( Read more... )

GO SEE HARRY POTTER. NOW.

So this past weekend was probably the most stressful and crappy weekend. Ever. First it was the Philosphy paper I had due last Tuesday. Then I had to work on Friday. Then I had the GRE Psych exam (which, by the way, went really badly). Then I cried. Then I had to work. Then I had to do a paper and study for exam, both for Monday. Then I had to go ( Read more... )

So the past few weeks have been crazy busy. I've gotten through midterms relatively unscathed, but I definitely need to prepare for my upcoming exams a whole lot better.

Yay! Happy birthday! Love you, skittle bee!

My aunt passed away the morning after my birthday. I flew down to Huntsville early Thursday morning (and by early I mean I had to leave my apartment at 345am) and I stayed in a hotel with my dad, Brett, Christine and the kids. Most of my dad's cousins were there so it was really nice to see them, despite the circumstances. And of coure my Alabama ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the wonderful messages guys! I had a really great, low-key birthday which is exactly what I wanted and needed. My friends Rori and Alison threw a little birthday brunch for me, complete with pancakes and mimosas. Later in the afternoon I met up with Ingrid and her dad - they had driven down for the day from Maine. We went to this ( Read more... )

I just ran into Anna Josephson on my way home from class. What? She was with her sister and her dad. Would you like to know what she asked me? "Do you know Josh Wilson?" Apparently they had a laptop to give to him. What? Ugh, I give up.
