This entry is dedicated to and inspired by Matt, the British guy, who is coming to visit tomorrow. :-D

I'm just going to come out and say it.

I GOT ACCEPTED INTO THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON'S GOLDSMITHS COLLEGE

Got the letter in the mail yesterday. It came in a big envelope and when I opened it, my heart was racing. I glanced down at it and I saw the worlds "...delighted to inform you..." and almost passed out haha.

It's official, no more waiting, no ( Read more... )

So, there was an 80% chance of a blizzard last night.

Naturally, I took this into logical consideration and decided it would be foolish to do any of my homework. I mean, the weather man would never lie. Or stretch the truth in hopes of viewers.

I woke up. Peaked outside.

No snow.

In the past week, our friend Mr. Bush went visiting China in hopes of stopping them from unfair trading patterns with the United States.

As many of you may already know, im an active participant of the Model UN at my high school.

And, unfortunatly, I based my country choice base upon who I was dating at the time (the Romanian.... grrr. *clenches fists*) thinking he'd want to join it with me.

We broke it off on Thursday (yay for men >:-O) and now I'm freaking stuck with the little ( Read more... )

Every day I read the newspaper and die a little inside knowing I will never have time to make fun of it all.

Cheney showing signs of being a tyrant?

Harriet Miers gallops at top speeds from Supreme Court madness?

Rosa Parks waves good bye?

Kim Jong Il begins talking to China again about nukes?

It's the end of the 1st quarter grading period and ( Read more... )

Something unusual happened two weeks ago that I felt was post worthy.

Even though many comical things have occured internationally, I felt this domestic story was top-of-the-notch, grade 'A' humor.

It's starts off on a personal level.

I had possibly the worst Friday ever. I backed into/broke my garage door (ah crap.), I got ticketed in the school ( Read more... )

I know lots have happened in the news.

The world is run on coffee.
