Today I found out that one of my roommates from Germany found my journal and read all of the angry things I said about her!  I am so incredibly embarrassed.  Anke, if you are reading this please know that I was just angry because I was so lonely a lot and took it out sideways.  I do not harbor any bad feelings anymore.  I am so, so sorry that you ( Read more... )

Yay for Obama!  I am so excited to have that man as my president.

Boo for Republicans winning the popular vote for everything in my county.  I need to move back to a city stat.

I took my final exam for Population and Community Ecology this morning, this seriously difficult crash course in theoretical ecology that I took this semester.  I think it went pretty well, but the best part is that I am done now.  I have my grades turned in and so all I have left to do is write a 1-2 pg paper about the biggest issues in global ( Read more... )

Wiscmail is deactivating my account tomorrow!  They only gave me one day of warning!  Ahh!  Now I have to sort through 1500 e-mails today and forward the e-mails that I want to my gmail.  :o ( Read more... )

I don't know if I should use facebook anymore.  It just makes me feel lonely and lame.  Lonely because I realize that I have basically lost touch with almost every friend I've ever had and I miss them.  Why oh why am I so bad at keeping in touch with people?!  Lame because I see that they all still hang out together and I am not with them ( Read more... )
