Today I went to Fabric Place to pick the fabric for the border on my housewife quilt/wall hanging. When I first started to embroider these ladies in black on pure white muslin, I always imagined having a black and white polka dot border to go around it ( Read more... )

My grandmother is old and sick, and no longer has a car (since it's mine), so someone usually does her grocery shopping for her. Today, she asked my dad and I to do it. We were handed a list of extremely specific items (Orange Juice with no acid, chicken legs--not by Purdue, low sodium soup, green bananas, 1/2 pound seafood salad etc.) and were ( Read more... )

I had a dream last night that I was getting married. I knew the guy in the dream, but I have no idea who he was when I woke up. Anyway, it was really weird. There were a bunch of people our age who wanted to get married and we met at Beebe School and some teacher took us to the place.

I had a dream last night that Mt. Holyoke was inside of Melrose High School and I was sitting in my macroeconomics class when I remembered there was an MHS alumni basketball game that I REALLY wanted to go to. It was 1:30 and I was bored in class, so I left. I went to the alumni game and it was soo fun. I saw a million people I hadn't seen in years ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here writing an econ paper and I can't write for more than a few minutes without getting ADD and surfing the internet, so I thought I'd post here. It's weird because reading entries from a year ago, all I talked about was how much I HATED economics and now it's my major. Who would have ever thought? I think part of my problem last year ( Read more... )

Today I met with the heads of both the German and the Economics department in order to get all my forms signed for study abroad. As with everything, it wasn't easy. I got two different opinions on my life from both of them ( Read more... )
