giardia, etc
I am so tired of being sick. I've been sick 11 out of the past 22 days. Over 1/3 of the past month. I'm so hungry, and when I eat it hurts, and when I don't eat I feel nauseous (nauseated, I know Mel) and exhausted. So I eat, and it hurts. Being sick is exhausting, it takes so much out of you and I just want to roll over and sleep until my body is ( Read more... ) -

Yep, so I'm sick in El Salvador (again). Considering that I'm not going to be better tomorrow, I will have officially spent over 1/3 of my trip sick, including 2 days of a higher fever than I've had in years. Awesome. It's kind on an accomplishment if you ask me. Anyway, Monday we travel and then promptly celebrate Jamie's birthday, then Tuesday ( Read more... ) -
yes, i'm aware it's been a long time
So, uh, I'm in El Salvador. 2 weeks so far, 1 more to go. I went to an Evangelical Friends Meeting yesterday (only yesterday?) and despite not remotely resembling Quakerism as I know it, it made me miss my Quaker friends/the Gathering in general. Usually I see those folks once or twice a year and that's okay, but this year I want more.
I've been ( Read more... ) -
in summary
so, when i haven't been reading about gruesome murders in el salvador or worrying about financial aid, i've been having a great summer. the online conversations have particularly been a highlight-- that and the excessive movies and jennifer crusie and discovering that vodka doesn't taste like vodka in orange and grapefruit juice, and having the ( Read more... ) -
financial aid
Financial aid is a bitch. First of all, they increased my loan from a little over $2000 to $5500. Secondly, I've been pretty thrifty, so I've managed to save a fair amount of money. I thought-- AWESOME, I can travel Europe when I'm abroad and still have a little padding for when I graduate, also maybe visit Iliana who is PREGNANT (I'm going to be ( Read more... ) -
telly-phone
I have Austin's cell phone for the summer since he'll be in China as of next Tuesday, rendering his cell phone useless (to him). The number is 610-731-6035 and don't worry about the dude's voice on the voice mail, it's cause it's a dude's phone 98% of the time. Just until August 27th though, aight? -

When you already feel all floaty and numb, and then you take serious painkillers, I wonder what it feels like.
I got a cold this morning-- punishment for my sins? I wanted to run until I was exhausted, use up the spare energy I've got invading my thoughts, but even unloading the groceries made me tired. Physical exertion will have to be put on -
this is what it's like to be home
I feel incredibly idle. I tried doing like Austin said, just sitting and thinking and not doing anything, but I couldn't get myself in the right mindset. Hopefully NYM will be the right environment ( Read more... ) -
wtf
Celeste weighs only 10 pounds less than me. Her legs are only a tiny, tiny bit shorter than mine-- the only reason she's shorter than me at this point is I have a long torso and she has a short torso. I bet she'll be taller than me in a year and a half.
I got a watch today. It has a moon and stars on it.
P.S. I'm back.
