What a morning! I just did some ultimate yoga. The kind I did this morning is done in a room of 102 degrees. Of course, you sweat like crazy, and nearly pass out from dehydration. But it gets easier, and starts to be fun, and then it's over, you take a shower, and feel great! It's how they trick you into coming back. Then I got my eyebrows waxed ( ( Read more... )

I registered for classes today. That was a little adventure. It wasn't hard, but I was new to the campus, and trying desperately to remember where everything was. Luckily, I had already checked out what elective I wanted and had emailed my advisor (who is never in the office) and got permission for the classes. I got one surprise from student ( Read more... )

I spent the day unpacking, shopping and cleaning. Everything is now completely finished!!!! I can't believe how much stuff I have, and how much money I have spent. I have also learned that I am completely cut off financially from my parents. I know a few of you have been that way for a while, but my mom did it so suddenly, that it left my head ( Read more... )

Guess where I am? Baltimore!!!! And in my brand new apartment. It's so cute! There's new paint and carpet (the same color as the orginal carpet was at home, a light brown) and new kitchen cabnets and counters. All of my furniture is stuff I've grown up with. The old blue cordoroy couch from the family room as well as the rocking chair, coffee table ( Read more... )

I'm coming home Friday night. Christina's picking me up from the airport and then I'm going to try to kidnap her and make her stay the night so that we can drink and be crazy for one night. My car is being picked up today. My sister is leaving for college tomorrow. I have an internship for next year. I may have a paying job as well. I'm bored here ( Read more... )

small update.

Still at Star Island. Health inspector is coming tomorrrow so now we have to pretend we do stuff like throw all leftovers away all the time. It's going to kill me to throw away so much butter, cream, and yummy fruit. We also can't eat or drink behind the scenes. I'm going to be so dehydrated! I've been applying to writing internships ( Read more... )

I wrote real letters last night. It was a good feeling ( Read more... )

Rick is fine now. He just had a really tough time, and it built up to the point he couldn't handle it by himself. He doesn't even need any medication, just the chance to see a professional to talk to if he needs it. Thanks for all of y'all's good wishes ( Read more... )

Got an apartment in Baltimore, one bedroom with kitchen and bathroom (with sky light) for $500/month in Hampden. Very pretty, very nice. I'll be moving in August 25th ( Read more... )

I love days that are full and productive, even when productive these days usually means just crossing errands off a list. Two doctor's appointments in the morning, one which required me to fast, left me dull and sick before lunch. But I took mom out and had a fantastic one at A Southern Season. We both had wine and I got really giddy. Then I bought ( Read more... )
