2009, where did you go?!?!?!

I don't even know a good way to start this entry. How about with my book list of things that I've read? All of you can then laugh at my poor tastes and love of cheesy fantasy novels (and tween female empowerment, yeah!), because I feel like those are the only books I ever read anymore.

• Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

I ended up changing majors anyway, like I have been wanting to do for a while now. It has always been a hard toss-up for me, but I think this decision will be for the best. I get to do what I've always been most passionate about, without putting my feelings on the backburner. It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to choose between ( Read more... )

BULLETS! Because they are short and sweet.

* Discovered my great grandmother's diary is in German shorthand. It's about 101-102 years old! Working on translating it.
* Going to sell great aunt's awesome stamp collection. Will take me a year to scan, dear god.
* Changing majors. I am going to live up to my own expectations instead of living in ( Read more... )

It was a really good weekend. Friday was my and Edwin's super awesome October anniversary, the only anniversary (besides the year one) that we celebrate. We went to Tempe and watched Repo! The Genetic Opera at the Madcap theaters. I don't think I'll ever think of that movie the same, not with some of the super nerdy comments that followed some of ( Read more... )

I've felt like a bum the last two days since I haven't done anything for school, even though I know I should be focusing. It's sometimes just so hard... especially when I get these overwhelming conflicting feelings about what I want to do and why. There are some people I have classes with that seem so steadfast, and even more that seem to know a ( Read more... )

I am pretty much having a heart attack from sheer amusement. Thursday afternoons after getting out early from my Biology lab seems to be my time for meeting interesting foreign men: last week it was Ferdinand and we talked research/family until he got a phone call and I had to get off at my stop, and today it was an aspiring musician that lived in ( Read more... )

Violin lessons went extremely well today. I had a chance to ask my instructor a lot of questions about some issues I've had on certain songs (ex: staccato strokes causing a second twang when crossing strings on "Song of the Wind"), and then she gave me pointers on playing "O, Come Little Children", which I had been struggling with quite a bit.
