Alas, going home has been an ill-conceived battle.  I would have liked to just stay down in the ghost town of UCSB however it would have cost me additional funds that I straight up don't have ( Read more... )

So I've been hitting the gym a whole lot lately with my roommate, Matt, whomever, and I've found that it's a lot of fun but I get some funny bruises.  I don't know where most of them come from, but today I went to the gym with my roommate Carissa and alas, I have a bruise I can account for ( Read more... )

Unable to straightly define love and without clear examples of the differences between how people loved one another, it took me well into my 17th year to even mildly grasp love's meaning. I have always understood that something in me told me to love and I had been taught to believe that God's love was the greatest of all, but until I could see, ( Read more... )

While on my way to my second day of work, I was riding around trying to find a shorter path to work.  I don't think there is one, but nonetheless, while on a slightly rutted dirt path, my toe caught on the root of a bush and went out the wrong way at a rather fast rate.  It got scratched up pretty badly and it hurt enough to make me swear in a ( Read more... )

At first, while driving from Lompoc to Goleta and seeing the rain, I didn't really want to be there.  I was ready to head home to my bed, my room and my friends.  When I checked in and met me RA and started hiking my stuff manually upstairs (suitcases, food, fridge...by hand) I thought, "Okay maybe I can deal with this" but now that I've been here ( Read more... )

as the journey of straight up davis ends...i have to say...it's been lovely, thanks.

time to be responsible and clean my house.  almost done packing.

I'm going camping.  Yes, I know, thanks captain obvious from the subject of this post, but still.  I'm going camping, leaving this afternoon and coming home Sunday afternoon.  Knowing me and my suburban preferences, this decision to go camping was obviously not by choice.  And the extra day sleeping on the ground was also not my choice, but when ( Read more... )
