So I'm planning out what I should pack for my trip to DC, but of course the problem is that it is going to be cold up there. Well, not really cold, but cold compared to the nice weather that we are still enjoying here in St. Pete. I have to ask myself, 'Can I wear a skirt? What does 60 degrees feel like again?'

I forgot about how great this cartoon is. Now I can start watching it again, just in time for Halloween. Episode 8 from Season 1 about Charlotte's birthday is also quite appropriate (since my birthday is coming up too).

I am really lazy. Or stupid. Or maybe I am just sick and tired of IR theory. Whatever it is, I do not want to write this paper. I am mostly done, I just feel like I'm doing a really lame job. I think I have decided that I do not want to go to grad school for IR. It is either going to be something where I can study French culture/history in ( Read more... )

How fun is this, I want to play...
