I usually try to keep my posts short and somewhat up-beat, or at least as non-whiny as possible, so please forgive me if this one is a little mopey/long ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the beginning of finals week. I have never felt so unprepared in my entire life. I lost the paper with my make-up math assignments on in, I have no idea how I'm going to pass linguistics, and I haven't begun studying for my other two classes. I need to do well on all of them if there is any hope of avoiding academic probation. I ( Read more... )

That's right boys and girls I am getting a snowboard. In an insane attempt to up the activity level in my life, and the lives of those around me, I asked for a board for x-mas. My mother and grandmother answered with the cute board you see before you. This might actually be the first winter of my life that I will actually look forward to snow! ( Read more... )

A little while back several of my friends posted about how productive they had been. This of course made me feel like a sloth. So what did I do... I cleaned, wrote a children's book (the day before it was due), read "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (for a make up review, as I skip class a lot), and started on the laundry. Phew..time to be ( Read more... )

Dev and I went to the Dave Matthews concert last night. It was amazing. The mix of people was just unbelievable. There were your typical hippies, frat boys, and sorority girls; as well as couples old enough to be my parents, grandparents, and even one five year old boy (there with his parents of course ( Read more... )

Since I can not put up my Christmas tree until Dev wakes up or gets off the futon, I decided to clean out my address book. This only served to make me reminisce about all my friends who have left. Some to vegas, some to DC, some to chicago, some to AUSTRALIA. Not that I am naming names or ne thing. Arctan, Lauren, Kevil, Brett and Amanda :P I ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I am getting ready. Going to Iowa with the bf's family. EEk and yeah all at the same time. Last year we drove down in a snow storm and were side swiped by a semi (going like 5 mph) but still scary. I'm not as nervous this year about meeting the family but its still not tradition yet ( Read more... )

Who ever thought that a Kelly Clarston song could bring such insight into my own life. Everyone has moments when they try to "find themselves" or "understand" why they are who they are. Tonight I found insight where I least expected. The song "Because of You", which I hated at first listen, has offically helped me find a piece of the puzzle of ( Read more... )

I hate defense attorneys. That is until I need one.

Serenity was great! I laughed, I cried, it had it all. Joss Whedon is a freaking genius. The sad thing is in the theater before the previews started the person behind us was trying to sing the theme song from firefly to her friend but couldn't remember the last half. Of course my geekness come through and I finished it for her. It's a sad day ( Read more... )
