So, I think I have recovered from the worst of my school burnout, and even though I have two exams to take before I can truly relax I feel really happy and rejuvenated. Partially because of the fabulousness of my room right now. After I got home from my Latin exam on Wednesday I went on a cleaning rampage (probably the Filipino mother coming out in ( Read more... )

One essay to go...and then four finals. But it could be worse. So, happy thoughts only from now until the 16th or 17th (whichever is the Friday; I can't be bothered to check ( Read more... )

Essay season is upon me again, and this year...nothing has changed. I have three fifteen page papers dues in the next three weeks and I have not started on any of them. Well, that's not entirely true. In an attempt to not procrastinate, I started my first paper a few days ago and actually wrote a couple pages. Then I went to class on Monday and ( Read more... )

I have just spent the entire day with the new love of my life...my brand-new, shiny, beautiful laptop!!! Her name is Tamar, and she is a Mac just like her sister Eva, my desktop computer ( Read more... )

Only halfway through the week and already I feel like I'm falling apart. Note to self: NEVER SKIP CLASS AGAIN!!! Except for Classical Studies on Friday, which I can miss in order to study for my Latin test ( Read more... )

Points to anyone who can translate that :)

I finally have my Internet back up and running again after over a week of being cut off from the world. I have no idea what was wrong with it, by my dad did something and now it isn't spazzing out every two minutes.

I missed F-List Appreciation Day, and I know it's a little late now but you girls are ( Read more... )

Andrew and I went rock climbing again today after my library shift ended. I died. I'm still completely wasted from Monday when I banged my left foot up against a wall (I slipped while undoing a clip and went swinging back from the wall and then forward into it at a bad angle), and my arms (which are not very strong to begin with) were burning by my ( Read more... )

It's something that comes back to me every now and then and makes me smile: the first night that he brought me home we watched a movie on his parents' old couch, and the whole time we sat there he held my hand tightly in his and wouldn't let go. Later that night I asked him why. His response: "It feels nice knowing you're here with me ( Read more... )

I love my city. It was so rainy and gross earlier this morning and now it's like paradise outside. Everything is all golden and green and silvered from the rain. And it's warm! Ah...going to take my notebooks out to the park after lunch and get some writing done *fingers crossed* Although I'll probably just spend the time lying on the grass and ( Read more... )

I must still be a kid at heart because every time I do something that I know my mother will disapprove of (re: post title) I get all gleeful and defiant. But really, there isn't much to eat in the house right now except leftover chocolate cake from Sarah's birthday party, and it's so tasty! It's got gummi bears and jujubes and jellybeans and those ( Read more... )
