If I had to choose a word, I would call my life right now....a river. Because everyday I feel like I am rushing to finish things and get through the rapids so things can finally calm down again. Like I'm awaiting the climax of the waterfall around the bend. I wonder where that waterfall will drop me off ( Read more... )

I am once again sinking into an extreme form of exhaustion--I'm not there yet, but I am definitely on the way. Why is schoolwork always so overwhelming? I have to write a paper about kingship in Shakespeare for Monday. I have a presentation in Spanish on Thursday. (My group assigned me the sub-topic of "The history of Miami and Why Cubans chose to ( Read more... )

So here I am at school. I have an 11:30 class so, of course, I left my house at 8:00 to get to school before 9:00 so I could find a parking spot in less than 30 minutes. Wow that is a lot of numbers.

The words "plan B" have made numerous appearances in the last few days ( Read more... )

So I just had a super-fun Friday night. Mommy and Daddy took us (myself, Antoinette, Sasha, and Jonathan) out to dinner at Ti'juana Flats for Bike Night. Sometime during dinner the topic of explosives arose (because Brian is on a plane right now) and someone mentioned that a combination of Diet Coke and Mentos causes an explosion. What is a more ( Read more... )

This has been a momentous week, as Antoinette, Brian, and Myself are travelling the South (or, as some would call it, the Northeast). We left FLA early Wed. morning and zoomed through Georgia only to stop in Savannah, because someone told us it was pretty and worth looking at. Then we zipped through SC (stopping to eat in Hardeeville) and got to ( Read more... )
