So, the guy I sort of fell in love with in Mexico sent me an e-mail, and I sent him one back. Turns out, he and one of the only other people I care about down there - a girl named Jo - might end up visiting around May. Yea ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I went to my first practical yoga class. It was awesome. I walked out feeling like the guy from Office Space - "The sky is so blue. Hum. There are birds. Hummm. I think I'm gonna take a walk." Really, it was that refreshingly good ( Read more... )

Back in CS, where the weather has also been dropping. The weekend was pretty good - watched the new Monk friday night with my Mom and her new boyfriend. Then went to a b-day party for an old high school friend. I drove all by myself (having gotten my license the day I left for CS - my first try and with a stick shift - oh yeah, I rock!). Left the ( Read more... )

So, I think I've seen just about everyone now. Ran into Monica today - who never let me in on the glory that is Herbert's Cajun food - and seasleepy yesterday in a lab ( Read more... )

Um, so I see you haven't cut me off yet...thanks for that. Sorry internet at my house has been difficult. I'm in Austin, heading to CS on Thurs. I'm in a new apartment with one other girl, not to far from the Hillel (um, how do ya spell it) building. Lots has happened, but it's all very emotionally and depressing. Mexico in all was really great - ( Read more... )

So, um, yeah. Three friends and I headed to Huautla, Oaxaca this weekend, a place famous for it's shrooms. The bus ride was long-6 hrs. and I can't sleep on buses. I like to take music and watch the scenery, ya know. So we got there at 5 in the morning, and I watched the sun rise over the mountains with one of my companions on the back porch of ( Read more... )

So, I'm about to head off with some brits to some small town in the mountains, and I don't know the name of the town or the mountains. It's gonna be a 5 hr trip by bus and we're gonna arrive at 5 in the morn. But we may be staying in the home of the witch doctor or something...yeah ( Read more... )

Yeah, so I haven't died or anything. Everything's going really well. Apparently I got a 10 on my last Political Philosophy exam and a 9.9 on the first. In Mexico the grading system is out of 10. 7.5 is passing. 7.0 is not. I'm thinking of staying another semester. It can be done, but it would mean taking Computer Science classes in Spanish - that ( Read more... )

I think all this spanish has my english out of whack a bit...So...uh...I have a boyfriend. He's british-from London. A real mutt as it goes, but his pop is always harping on about Welsh stuff. His name's Rhodri (rod-dree), and yeah...So last night we went to see this movie in the uni - it was a brazilian film, so it was in portuguese with spanish ( Read more... )

Before I left, I bought firefly for my mom...she will be indoctrinating more people even as we speak. Go Captain Tight Pants!
