Ok, so it's been awhile, but I figure since this online thingy still exists, I might as well post entries. Plus, I think all my friends are tired of hearing me complain, so I will use this to vent my frustrations ( Read more... )

Seeing as I'm behind in updating my journal, I just wanted to let you know I'm alive. Why you ask? Because a hurricane passed through here last night. Housed flooded, electricity is still out in some places, something like 20 people died, trees fell down everywhere...and we didn't even lose electricity. Kind of disappointing, but I guess deep ( Read more... )

So, I'm back in South Africa after being in Italy for a month and then Germany for 1 week (Pauline, I wish you were there with me; we could have had so much fun w/ the Germs). After being back for a few days, I have gotten over my culture shock (yes, you can have it twice for the same place), kept in touch w/ newly-made friends, and tried to ( Read more... )

Why is the most embarrassing of my journal entries dated July 28th? Now all my journal entries up to this date will appear after it.

This is just to remind you to check the journal entries AFTER these two first ones.

Thank you for your cooperation.

So, I believe this is my second (and probably last) journal entry from Rome. Mmmm...how do I even sum up the last month in one journal entry? I have to be honest with you: I can't. There is no way to describe how wonderful this month has been. I wish it didn't have to end. Well, the school HAS to eventually end, but I hope that at least this ( Read more... )

Hi all. As usual, I'm late with the updates, but I have good reason this time. For the past 2 weeks I have been in Italy, studying astronomy at the Pope's summer palace. I can't even put into words how incredible it has been so far. The people here are terrific, Italy is amazing, and to top it all off, we're studying astronomy! What could be ( Read more... )

Hey guys. How's everyone doing? I haven't been that great lately. My boyfriend broke up with me last week. Although we were only together for 2 months, it was still crushing for me. He's not a jerk, so I can't hate him, which would make things 10 times easier. Oh well ... I'll get over it ( Read more... )

Two more weeks and I'm in Italy. Yes! I can't wait to get away from my work. I really need a break. (Shhhh, don't tell anyone; I'm really supposed to be working while there ( Read more... )

Darn me! I know I should be updating you more often, but I can't seem to find things to write about. Let me tell you a little bit about my week ( Read more... )

So, I'm better now (or so I think). Don't you sometimes wish you didn't give a darn about anything? I do, but not always. I like to be passionate/have an opinion about somethings, like stupid politicians, wars, religious fanatics, people who don't recycle, etc. But when it comes to myself, it's sometimes better to just keep quiet. As 2 wise ( Read more... )
