It's not for any big reason. It's just that...I found my keys. They keys I lost last Wednesday. I found them in my backpack. IN MY BACKPACK!!! I've been carrying them around with me the entire time!!! I swear to any and every deity that may or may not exist that I turned my backpack inside-out looking for those keys, and they were not in ( Read more... )

UPS: The Final Deal ( Read more... )

I just talked on the phone for so long that two of my fingers and the inside of my elbow went numb. I didn't know that can happen.

So I rolled out of bed this morning about 20 minutes before my 9:00 am class. I literally fell asleep in my clothes on top of my bed last night while reading my discrete book. I was too tired to take a shower then, and just as tired this morning. I was just going to throw on some clothes and bike over to TG for class, but when I reached for my ( Read more... )

I finally took the time out of my exciting, homework-laden life to take pictures of my new dorm room, which is actually just around the corner from my old dorm room.

Here it is! My trip to San Francisco, including the day I wandered around Presidio Park and unwittingly found myself at a nude beach! But that wasn't until the fourth day. I'll start at the beginning. (To cut to the embarrassing chase, scroll down to where there’s lots of text and scant pictures.)

Okay, I admit it, I'm suffering from lack-of-car envy. Sure, I own about 22% of a green 2000 Honda CRV, (that's almost a whole tire!), but I never had strong ambitions to sport around town in my very own mini-SUV, or worse, minivan! So to cheer myself up I thought of as many good things as possible about not having one's own car ( Read more... )
