I fear I've become That Girl Who Updates Too Frequently and monopolizes her friends' "friends" pages. But I'm off to Ann Arbor tonight and Chicago the next day (so you can all look forward to a quick Debby-break)! I'm excited about visiting Kirsten and seeing Chrissy for the first time in as many years. I have a day today to pack and get myself ( Read more... )

today was devoted to watching british naval dramas about the napoleonic wars; ie. horatio hornblower and master and commander. i made french toast, read a bit, took a nap, made dinner and, well, that was it. a perfectly pointless, relaxing, boring sort of day. and wonderful all the same ( Read more... )

okay, i admit it. i took advantage of the free coffee in the co-op even though i knew it was after 5pm and i have an exam tomorrow. but it was free! and coffee!! and i really like what they brew because i drink it nearly every day. and sometimes more than once a day. today, for example, i had three instances of coffee satisfaction. i had a ( Read more... )

if i had the time, i would watch christmas movies while baking cookies (wearing my apron from anthropologie) and drinking hot chocolate all season. instead, i have endless, endless work which will invade my break and most likely drive me insane ( Read more... )

halloween at college with no trick-or-treat-ers, no holiday-themed word-searches, no costume parade and no cider is beyond unacceptable. the integrity of the occassion has been completely compromised. today, like any usual monday, i went to my three classes, i did my sorority time and found myself, at 10:22, sitting in the midst of an eerily ( Read more... )

the autumn air in virginia smells better than the air in troy. really. the fall weather is gorgeous, the macintosh apples delicious and the schoolwork... stressful. life is going well for the most part, i got two letters and a package today, which made my day. srattiness is crazy but i had a really good fall break. went shopping in ( Read more... )

'my tie' was really fun. i figured out who my date was friday night when jill was tipsy and i asked her straight up if it was my friend ben. she insisted it wasn't, but then finished with: "...but you wouldn't be disapointed if it was, would you?" friday night i swallowed a live goldfish at a tropical party which later made me feel really ill.

terrential rain. again.
