-My attempts at finding proper pictures for my new office are not going well. Everything at Target is French or icky. The prints of the Ohio bicentennial barns are $25 each and not going to happen. The Ohio presidents throw is still my best option, because I love it and it would take up a whole wall. However, it's $40. I can afford it, but I feel ( Read more... )

Yesterday I got an office. A real one, with walls and a door. Previously, my desk has been in the hallway. That's how all the LSC interns and most of the AAs are in the House. (LAs are one step up and they get offices. Except Rob, the intern in Calvert's office, but Calvert is the Finance Chair and things are different down there.) Anyway, I got ( Read more... )

I dreamt that it was fall and I hadn't seen any of the colors change. It was cold and there were no leaves. I was sad ( Read more... )

I am in a cloud. I finished Harry Potter yesterday and then cried for a long time. And now I feel so old. Partly because Harry and his friends are getting older and taking on such tough responsibilities and I feel for them, but partly because I'm 23 and probably to old to be weepy over fictional characters. It's not something I've been able to help ( Read more... )

Dad's in the hospital until Friday. They're giving him blood and watching other things. The poor man's essentially going through a mini-detox and they brought him candied yams with his dinner tonight. Seriously, how are candied yams going to make anyone feel better? Blech. I guess the doctor is pretty sure he can have a complete recovery from this ( Read more... )

Daddy came back from Germany on Sunday. When he called he said he hadn't been feeling well and... his skin and eyes are yellow. He went to the doctor today and it's anemia and some sort of liver disease. I'm not sure if they didn't know what kind, he didn't know or he just didn't tell me. He's in the hospital tonight for tests and crap and I ( Read more... )

Good: watching fireworks from the 14th floor of a skyscraper ( Read more... )

Lindsey and I spent the evening making cupcakes and discussing Harry Potter theories. We're both pretty upset that one of the Weasley's is going to bite it and pretty sure it will be Percy's fault. Damn you, Percy! Take the wand out of your ass! I'm also pretty scared about what could happen to Neville. He has to remain safe, as he is destined to ( Read more... )

My fellow interns and I have been itching to go back to school so I did a little research on law school. Mostly because I think Charlottesville is gorgeous and I want to have an excuse to go to UVA. So I took an online practice LSAT and had more problems figuring out how to take the test (i.e. which buttons to click on) than I did with the actual ( Read more... )
