Woo-hoo. I am 21. It feels the same, but I get to see Cyrano de Bergerac tonight, and the most charming Daniela got us tickets to Giselle at the Paris Opera!!! Quick Kara, give me a synopsis.

I never expected tomorrow to come. Maybe it won't. Nothing is certain until it has happened, and even then it's questionable depending on the circumstances. Who knows, the earth could spin wildly off course and collide with the sun during the night. I'm not saying that would be a good thing, but it is theoretically possible. However I am ( Read more... )

Present - December 22: Paris and working like crazy in my 5 classes ( Read more... )

We have the Congress! Allen conceded. Now if only I could find the motivation and the energy to do my homework...

If you haven't already done so absentee, GO VOTE ON TUESDAY, especially those of you in VA. There is a "sanctity of marriage" amendment up for approval in VA this election. Please don't let it pass. Even if you are not in favor of gay marriage, you shouldn't vote for this amendment as it will negatively affect many other kinds of relationships ( Read more... )

Also they're more likely to give ( Read more... )

So I emailed Marguerite and asked if she'd be willing to sponsor my independent study over FWT. I also said I was interested in continuing that work over the spring semester as part of the senior projects seminar. She said she "would be delighted" to do so and that I should just write up a proposal and send it to her. Then I found out that ( Read more... )

Post something about me.  Good or bad.  Random thought or complex memory.  Praise or criticism.  You may be anonymous or not.  It's really your choice.  Think of it as word association.  Let's see what you've got.  All comments will be screened.

Why does life hate me today!!!!  The only two courses that I absolutely have to take next term are offered at exactly the same time.  I have to take the advanced French class and I desperately need to take Marguerite's Senior Projects course, but they are both on Tuesday afternoons.  I thought, "Oh, Chelsea had the same problem last spring so she ( Read more... )
