excuse me, but i've got a request
could you take the gag off of my mouth
i admit that i'm fairly impressed
cause you're the best at blocking me out

i believe that we weren't quite done
i know it's hard to hear me out again
i realize, you're not the only one
who's terrified of life from end to end

hey hey, can you hear anything i say
i'm feeling unwanted, ( Read more... )

The paper, that is. :-) It's pretty good, too, if I do say so myself...

The procrastination got so bad this afternoon that I broke down and finally got a myspace. DON'T say it. I know you want to, but just don't.

Now that this paper is no longer hanging over my head I can finally do some awesome stuff, like: RIDE MY NEW BIKE (more about this later), ( Read more... )

efffff. I am never going to finish this paper, and I feel awful because I'm taking advantage of Dr. O. Dang.

BUT, the weather is amazing and I am wearing my favorite pink plaid shorts that my mom brought. She also brought Mrs. Butterworth's syrup, and Ginger made some delectable french toast for brunch today!

This paper is kicking my butt like whoa ( Read more... )

Mel is making honey ham, green bean casserole, and cheesy potatoes! I am going to attempt to make a yellow cake with chocolate icing, strawberries, and ( Read more... )

Okay folks, here it is: the promised spring break happenings!

Sunday our train to Frankfurt was at 5:45am, and although I was ready to go at 5:15 (it takes about 20-ish minutes to walk), Julie wasn't ready, and we ended up leaving at 5:32 or so. Now, I know you've worked the math out in your head and realized that we had less than the required 20 ( Read more... )

IL has been pretty fun so far! Other than too many abbreviations and names and dates, and having no background whatsoever for this period in history. It's mostly Ogier lecturing, which is fine by me...We have lots of reading though, but at least it's in English (!) and pretty easy to follow.

Yesterday we went to Berlin to Marienfeld, the refugee ( Read more... )

So our first hemi-demi-whatever semester is officially over! I think it all went pretty well.  The Reformation class was really interesting, and it was so cool to be able to see the places we were reading about.  But I will be glad to to take any more history classes...Too many papers :-)

I did manage to finish (and get an A on!) the paper I ( Read more... )
