I'm about to go to bed (it's 2:46 am) and get up at 8:15am to "read" 2 books and write a paragraph on each for PWR (Stanford's course that teaches you how to write, basically. Program in Writing and Rhetoric). Luckily it's about how teens are presented in the media, and I'm all about teens in the media.
So things here are crazy busy.  I feel like I' ( Read more... )

Yeah, I was just reading old entries of mine.
A lot of it I don't understand, but it makes me laugh anyway.
Oh, 2004, such a silly year for me.

My laptop is coming tomorrow! Which is exciting, because it went back and forth through time.  It started out in Hong Kong on the 15th, went to Japan on the 16th, then arrived in the US on the 15th again.  That international dateline is a wily thing, let me tell you.  Now it looks like it's clearing customs (it's been held in Kentucky for the past ( Read more... )

1.  The Requiem is over! Now I need to buy a professional version on CD, and our perfomance on DVD, and I'll be set.   I was sammiched right between the basses and the trumpets and the singers, but from where I was sitting, it sounded AMAZING!

"In a few weeks, we will send you the three books that will constitute your summer reading. They are: Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner, Tracy Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains, and Julie Orringer's How to Breathe Underwater. During Orientation, ( Read more... )

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.

Spring Cleaning is madness. Right now the upstairs of my house is crazy, since I'm sleeping in my old room, my parents are sleeping in my room, and a whole bunch of stuff is crammed in my sister's room. We're getting new carpeting, but before that's done we have to paint the walls, so that's what my parents are doing. We're painting the walls a ( Read more... )

GUSTER CONCERT! It was AMAZING ( Read more... )

GUSTER CONCERT TOMORROW!  I'm pysched, but I feel that some people like Guster because it's "cool" to like Guster.  Eh.  If they don't know that "Lost and Gone Forever" is AMAZING, it's their loss.  I'm carpooling with Steph (speaking of which Steph, I'll call you tomorrow to set that up. How early do you get up? I can call around noon), so that'll ( Read more... )
