Is it April 30th yet? ....I just can't wait for summer....one month of glorious vacation....and then work....and then more work....I suppose I should miss this wonderful school thing, but maybe I'll be more sentimental once I finish.....is it May 10th yet? So excited about being able to sleep without stressing myself...

I forgot that the naked mile happens on prospective student weekend every year....I need to remember to avoid the library on this day....but I never seem to remember.

Taking high schoolers to the dining hall for lunch is always fun. Usually they look scared-like, sometimes ask the boring questions they pull out of a handbook, and then nod and smile when I give them the answers they were hoping for.

Almost spring break! I'm going to study hard, party hard, and be a tour guide. Oh, and somehow find time to run around Portland...Also figure out my visa woes. ( Read more... )

I always find it funny whenever my friends ask me after a night of salsa if I met any "cute guys?" The inevitable response is "Uh....no....there were a lot of sketchy guys though!" They seem disappointed, but to be honest, that's not the reason I go dancing. It's more of a therapy for me, relaxing, involves less thinking. And as a rule, I don't ( Read more... )

Sunshine can make you forget a lot of things....like going to class apparently, waking up on time, studying.... I'm going to blame it on the sunshine, because senioritis probably isn't a legitimate excuse, and to blame it on a 1000 piece puzzle seems silly ( Read more... )

12 hours of sleep in 4 days.....I think I need to reorganize my life.....no more thesis proposal!!! I'm going to cry if it doesn't get approved....
