Why I am never driving a Chevy again
So yesterday I had some problems with the Chevy HHR rental car when I was leaving school - namely, I couldn't shift it out of park. After a lot of stressing out, I finally got it to shift by just pulling as hard as possible. This morning though I had a problem that I couldn't just force my way out of. The key wouldn't come out of the ignition when ( Read more... ) -
Is it better to fake it than be alone?
So last Saturday I met this MS1 guy at a party, and in the intervening days he's called/texted me literally every day. Yesterday we had a coffee, and while he seems nice enough, I don't get that feeling that I want to be in a relationship with him. So it seems simply like it'll be another guy who doesn't meet my admittedly high expectations and ( Read more... ) -
Back in the chain gang
So now that school is back in full swing, I've decided to start excising again. I skipped all of summer, even weekends, because it's been so hot and humid. The heat has really started with a vengeance.
My stats: Biked 30 minutes
Weight: 118, not bad for no exercise all summer -
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair, and some sunscreen on your nose
So I got back from my weekend with Jacqui and Jacob late last night. It was awesome. First, they live in an adorable apartment with an absolutely gorgeous view of trees and Berkeley below, since they live on a hill. All of Berkeley/San Francisco seems to be hills. Second, they live with four adorable pets, especially Timmy the two-legged cat. He ( Read more... ) -
Christine is a bibliophile.
Just now I was looking at my newly rearranged bookshelf - with some old Star Trek books removed so that Harry Potter will once again fit - and found some legal pad papers stuffed in my copy of A Swiftly Tilting Planet. Curious, I removed them to find genealogies that Sarah sketched out ages ago for the novel. I stuck them back inside, hoping that ( Read more... ) -
Good to get out
I should remember this feeling. It totally pays off not to be a hermit. Last night I went to this guy Jason's birthday party at Gingerman. The whole class was invited via email, but it turned out that there were only a handful of people there. Still, it was a really fun night. I talked to some cool people, had 1 1/2 beers, and even got a good ( Read more... ) -
Rain all summer
Sometimes there is nothing a deluge-style rain storm to shift you from a depressed/emo mood to a cheerfully melancholic mood. Sort of like the powers that be are saying that it's okay to be sad and that they're giving you something to meet your mood. And it's comforting ( Read more... ) -
Working for the weekend
So in the past 5 days I have been at the UTSW campus for 63+ hours. Hopefully I can dash out of here at 5. It's been a very full week at least. In the mornings I was going on blood draw rotations 5-6/6:30 in Parkland, which was interesting. I was really freaked out at first, but I think I got the hang of it today. Today I did a couple of absolutely ( Read more... ) -
I [heart] TAL
I just got back from dinner with Grace at Piranha, and on the way to and from the place (we went to Piranha in Arlington b/c she's in Dallas and I'm house sitting for my parents in Fort Worth) I listened to this episode of TAL - 81 Words. It seriously blew my mind. It's the story of a definition, they say, and how the American Psychiatric ( Read more... )
