I can't believe I am doing this. I am updating my livejounal! After a -read it- 1 year and 3 month hiatus. Why now? Why this moment? It is hard to explain, but I suppose it would be fair to chalk it up to pure nostalgic indulgence. Why update an almost entirely abandoned online diary that I have had no contact with in over a year? Maybe a year from ( Read more... )

It's been a minute. Hasn't it?? I haven't updated since my trip to France. It was a great trip. I'm glad I got the France bug outta my system. I now have my eyes set on South America. Sometime soon, I tell you! Really though, I loved France and definitely hope to return again sometime soon. Perhaps in a warmer season. It really is a beautiful place ( Read more... )

It's been FOR ever! I'll give ya the short term run down. I became extremely ill earlier in the week due to some mysterious pelvic infection (??) but Tyler proved that he might just be the best boy friend in the world and took such good care of me until I felt better.

I recently finished my first two Kurt Vonnegut books, Breakfast of Champions being my favorite ( Read more... )

Had a few really intense dreams this morning. In one of them, Joey had died and it was terrible to not have said goodbye. In another, I was taking a really awesome senior seminar class on All Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I can't stop thinking about them ( Read more... )

I got accepted! I'm going to Thailand!

The end of the semester seems so nuts. I feel like everyone is running around pulling their hair out trying to force time and obligation to meet at a happy middle. This perception could just be a result of my personal hair pulling because I feel like everything accumulates at the end and creates a huge stack of things that must be done, NOW NOW NOW ( Read more... )

I turned in my application to study abroad in Thailand this summer. I can only hope it pans out. Taylor pointed out a distressing reality the other day. Apparently mosquitoes are quite vicious and can be quite deadly during Thailand's summer season. I have never proved to be much of a match for mosquitoes. He helpfully recommended ceder wood oil to ( Read more... )
