Okay okay, I've been out here for a couple weeks now and still no real update, so here goes. Moving to a new city is such a whirlwind, and I'm trying to stay excited about being in a new place. I love my roomate/apartment (an awesome party pad right on Charles St in Federal Hill--come visit!) and the school I work at is pretty good as well. The ( Read more... )

Out in Baltimore now and currently loving things. Even though I miss everybody back home (I wish I could just take everyone here with me!) I love this place and just had the best weekend. Alison and Valerie surprised me by coming out to visit and flew in Saturday afternoon and stayed ntil this morning. We met up with some of Valerie's distant ( Read more... )

Scumbag- ENFP
53% Extraversion, 60% Intuition, 33% Thinking, 46% Judging I have a feeling you're not going to like this much. Do I care? No. How do I know? It's because you hate criticism. You love to be loved and you'll do anything to be accepted.
Unfortunately for you, I can see right through your insincere compliments and over-the-top greetings. ( Read more... )

Christmas is upon us...I just came back from an awesome weekend with my amazing friends in Chicago. Alessa came home with me Thursday night, and that was also an awesome time. I can't believe how old we're all getting. Some days it seems like God has put us all in a salt shaker and now He's sprinkling us across the world in all kinds of different ( Read more... )

I AM ABOUT TO GO TO MY LAST CLASS OF MY UNDERGRADUATE CAREER. I know that later I might be nostalgic and miss the good times and wish i were back in undergrad b/c grad's school and work are so hard blah blah blah but let me just take this moment to feel this and breathe a really HUGE sigh of relief....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO ( Read more... )

I had some trouble posting it the first time...here it is!

In the opening words of Mary Schmich’s Chicago Tribune column dedicated to the class of 1997, later popularized in a music track titled "Wear Sunscreen," she wrote "Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it." Clearly, Ms. Schmich was not a ( Read more... )

where I left off. It's Thanksgiving break and I'm at home, it's nice to have some time off, but I feel like I should probably be doing homework to be meeting all of the deadlines that I have coming up, and of course I'm not. Graduation in two weeks! I'm excited and scared, but mostly excited. I've had a great time at MSU but I'm ready to move on. I ( Read more... )

I've got a cough. And a tickle in my throat. Regardless, last night I went to the Peanut Barrel with Laura to catch up, because I really needed a beer from having had a 10 page paper and a huge test in the same week, only one day apart. Now I get back to work--I have three more papers due Tuesday. I really feel that this is the most papers I've ( Read more... )

I have only about 9 weeks left in East Lansing. I feel so many things all at once about this fact, but mostly it's premonition. A feeling that I'm going to have strong feelings about this move, but I'm not feeling them just yet. Just butterflies. Good or bad, at least I feel something. (or is it Pre-something ( Read more... )

Fall has been good to me so far...it's beautiful weather...I'm not super busy...and I got the fellowship from Hopkins! I'm still deciding what I'm doing after graduation (still have a couple more options as far as grad programs go), but it's good to know I have at least one awesome opportunity at hand. Still, it's a little scary leaving college and ( Read more... )
