So my spur of the moment Redlands visit was very successful, although now I miss everyone there more than ever. Highlights of the weekend include ( Read more... )

Recently, when trying to explain to my roommate why I feel socially awkward, she pointed out that I was never awkward with her. Now here's the thing - I definitely felt awkward, but apparently managed to contain in so that in pretending to not be uncomfortable, I eventually became comfortable. In the past, I've occasionally had people tell me ( Read more... )

Against my better judgment (and much to my wallet's dismay) I just purchased a flight to Redlands for Thursday night! I can't wait to see my Redlands folks!

I found out today that this guy in my public speaking class is also a transfer student from Redlands! He was giving this speech about this camping trip he went on and it turns out I also know one of the guys who was on the trip! Anyways, I was suprised how nice it felt to know someone was from Redlands. We swapped stories about the sketchy ( Read more... )

Someone from my public speaking class just called me to ask for help with transparencies for her speech tomorrow. We had exchanged numbers for a prior group project. I guess this is some kinda proof that I haven't been entirely anti-social this semester. Meanwhile, I have a class with this girl from my dorm, who seems really nice, and has become ( Read more... )

I think I've just about reached the point of not caring about my terrible classes. Both my parents and various people at the barn keep asking me "when do you go to school?" The real answer to this question is not very often. I've had a perfect attendance record this semester, but just because I'm showing up in body doesn't mean I'm' showing up ( Read more... )

Basically, Warren asked people all over America to design a postcard, and write on it a secret that they haven't told anyone, and let him publish it in this book. And because sometimes, people ( Read more... )

I've gotten so behind in my personal reading, it's atrocious! I'm afraid most of it will probably get sidetracked for a much later date, but here's my current list of things to read ( Read more... )

I had these terrible urges to eat a burger earlier tonight, when walking home to my dorm from the coffee shop on Clement St. It was almost uncontrollable. I dunno if having a cold means that my body just wants more protein or what, but I haven't had cravings of this sort in years! Anyways, I controlled myself, but it was tough. Mind over matter, ( Read more... )

Currently, I'm sitting in the library, researching grad school stuff and trying to not let myself freak out. I told myself that I wasn't going to start stressing about grad school yet seeing as I only just finished freaking out about transfer stuff, but inevitably, here I am, stressing out. What I really should be doing is emailing Kim, my ( Read more... )
