Spring has arrived in Ithaca and I have cabin fever. All winter I was content, no, delighted, to be the epitome of the all american college kid. Big stacks of books, thick rimmed glasses, late nights curled up in the library, studying and whispering to my friends. Going out on weekends, getting a little drunk, come home giggling and staying up ( Read more... )

Well I got called back for Cecily... which is what I wanted... but let's just say I'm not holding my breath. I suppose you never know? :/

And I know I complain too much... but I just don't know how I'm going to make it through the next few weeks. The schedule just keeps looking worse and worse... man oh man.

Finally something to look forward to amongst three 10 page papers, french tests and oral projects, figuring out classes for next year, and a general wash of stress over my life ( Read more... )

It's taking time, but it's getting better ( Read more... )

Right now, all that's really standing between me and this break is this Anthro paper. Only 3 pages, should be easy. But when it presents itself as such a barrier, I just can't bring myself to complete it. I want spring break to come, and after this paper all I have is a some trivial French homework, and afternoon news shift, and a few classes. ( Read more... )

I miss those Saturdays where I used to stay home alone with my sewing machine. Put on a movie, whip out the pretty fabric, not answer the phone. Sure, I love college, but it's all so very social, all of it. I mean, you are either being social, or you are working. Working all the time. And I mean, I love it. I have made so many great friends ( Read more... )

I should not have to shove a towel in the crack under my door, wear earplugs and earmuffs, and still have noise disturbance to get work done on a Saturday night. Sometimes people need to get shit done, and libraries close at 10 on weekends.... such is my life, such is my life. And to my neighbors, you are all nice people, but please, you ALWAYS ( Read more... )

So I am now pledging Kappa Delta... against everything I thought I believed in, yes, I joined a sorority. Most of the girls are really sweet and down to earth, and a lot of my friends are pledging too. I'm actually pretty happy about it. What's nice about KD is that I can be myself... And I have a place to live next year ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm always doing what is expected of me. Or, what I'm supposed to do. Or, I don't know, I just feel very very normal... or typical... or I just don't know...

Speech and Debate was a really great show. So much of it was very mike and I... like the crap sandwich song. But I think it's safe to say that our favorite part was waiting after to meet Susan Blackwell of our obsession, [Title of Show]. She was so friendly and personable and wanted to know our names and about us and we just chatted for a while ( Read more... )
