Given the oodles of free time that I now have, since I only need to complete a senior thesis and prepare for three honors exams and graduate on time, I spend a great deal of Internet time looking for potential kitties to adopt on Petfinder.com, and apartments to rent on Craigslist (via this awesome site that plots classified ads onto a GoogleMap: ( Read more... )

So as it happens, I've been accepted into the Teach for America corps! I'm going to be teaching secondary English in D.C. I'm super excited, though ( there are some complications )

I'm quite proud of the dinner I made for myself at Sharples tonight. Mind you, we're talking about a girl who still gets confused about what you can and cannot put in a microwave, so let's not get expectations too high. But anyway, after performing the Dance of the Circling of the Bars, and becoming more depressed with every variation on 'ugh', I ( Read more... )

I never did a "2009 in review" meme this year. This hasn't happened in like, 6 years. Would it be bad if I did it anyway, a month and a half into 2010? I had started filling it out, but never got around to completing it. Hello, fail ( Read more... )

I just submitted the first 17 pages (chapter one!) of my thesis to my advisor. AROUND 50 MORE TO GO. YES ( Read more... )

Guys, help_haiti is awesome-- it's a huge fandom-y auction where people are bidding on or offering everything from fanfic to baked goods. The proceeds are all being donated to Haiti relief efforts. I wanted to donate anyway, but now I might get a nice pair of gloves out of it too ( Read more... )

Swine flu, thesis, the museum of natural history, anniversaries, sleep overs with nail polish and girly magazines, blind dates, pseudo-surreptitious g-chat conversations ( Read more... )

Miles has my camera!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING IS FABULOUS NOW.
Okay, well, almost everything.

Well, this weekend, I think I lost my camera. I am absolutely heartbroken-- it was the first camera I had bought in years, I got it just before I left for D.C., it was absolutely beautiful and cost me something to the tune of $200. And now it's gone. The last I remember seeing it was grabbing it on my way out on Saturday afternoon before we met up ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure that no one outside of D.C. cares about this, but The Real World is being filmed here this season. I know, the show is kinda past relevancy, BUT I'm pretty excited about it (even though most of D.C. is up-in-arms, anticipating the obnoxious cast in their favorite hang-out spots and such). Anyway, word on the street (read: blogs) is ( Read more... )
