2006 In a Nutshell:

January: Before I even go back, Tara Howard dies.  Back to school, for the first time I make actual resolutions.  Start "US and the Middle East" with Professor Ben-Zvi and Lizzie.  Georgetown beats Duke in basketball.  I don't REALLY care, but the school spirit was kinda sweet.  Got a job at the Center for Contemporary Arab ( Read more... )

I really need to be working right now, but I won't be able to focus if I can't get this all out.

School: Saudi Arabia/Gulf Final exam on Tuesday.  I'm not ready, not at all.  Political Theory paper due Wednesday.  Exam period for real starts next Tuesday, with Political Theory, Arabic, then International Law, Ethics and IR, ( Read more... )

This paper is so hard.  I'm so upset and really losing hope ( Read more... )

So I started drama. At my house. With my roommate. Probably the worst possible thing to do, right? Yeah ( Read more... )

I've been in a crappy mood lately, and today I kinda came to realize why things are so upsetting me.

I'm being asked to make so many decisions right now, and not litte decisions.

• Where I'm going to live next year (try for on campus--I was wait listed for eligibility--or go in with folks to live on T Street).

• If I live off campus, I probably won't get ( Read more... )
