I am so very very afraid for this semester. I wish I was curled up under a duvet on my bed at home, but instead am in my yet to be unpacked and comfort-ized room in my new apartment with new people facing a tomorrow with 4 classes and an important meeting. will just tuck my head down and barrel through the next three months until it's summer ( Read more... )

Am in love with life just now, for no reason immediately apparent, especially since this is the week of the semester when everything is in turmoil and since I have been living in squalor, wearing clothes from the bottom of the dirty clothes pile, which I tell myself probably weren't dirty when I threw them in there, subsisting off of handfuls of ( Read more... )

I need to find something to do that I'm good at. Working really hard and being mediocre is okay i guess, but I'm starting to feel talentless and that's making me cranky. But nobody's totally talentless right? right? I just need to find one little thing to be kickass at. but what....

ohoho, I just went to visit the chem lab for homework help, but there was no tutor in the chemistry lab which means that I don't have to do chem tonight! muahaha! and it started raining softly on the way home, which was soothing. although that means I have to do lots more chem tomorrow. Oh well. Thanksgiving weekend was very wonderful, we went ( Read more... )

mmmm just watched a really very good movie, Brick with Joseph Gordon Levitt being really super hard core and attractive. Who'd have thought? What a nice weekend this has been! Full of music and sleep and being in the house with all of my housemates who I love oh so much and other fun people and good movies and cupcakes. Tomorrow I get to face the ( Read more... )

What is it about the HRC that makes me feel like procrastinating? I thought that getting out of your everyday zone was supposed to up your productivity. Oh well! I'm here doing an assignment left over from the weekend from hell that wasn't actually that bad. I had dinner with some Russians and went to a concert (oh how I love campus music ( Read more... )

I love Van Morrison a whole whole lot! Also, I can't deal with philosophical theory. Also, even though it's Tuesday it feels like Friday and I want to go to a party. Instead of read about ecofeminism. Today in chem lab my so so nerdy lab professor was telling my lab t.a how poepple used to stop him on the street and ask him how he got his jeans ( Read more... )

First weekend back at the museum today. Even though I screwed things up a lot, I think I will get back into the swing of things soon and it will fit just fine into my life. There's a poster on the wall that lists the anniversaries for each month and this month, my name is on it, which is nice ( Read more... )

So much has happened today! In order I have: decreased my time between being in bed and being in class to four minutes, seen a treefrog and a chipmunk and determined the state of succession of a maple basswood forest, forever established myself as a giant ball of humiliation in the eyes of my botany peers, done a sun salutation, straightened my ( Read more... )

So we talked about "pain" tonight and how we "manage our pain" and how minnesotans tend to repress and on and on and I was thinking about it and I do this thing where I get all sad and then I don't say "I'm sad" like a normal person but instead try to send subtle imperceptible signals to everyone around me, like I'm testing them to see if they're ( Read more... )
