So now I'm a full-time, 7 days a week worker. Five days a week are at BICO, where I've worked the past three summers, at a "camp" for kids with special needs... but this year, it's AWESOME, because insead of 6-yr olds with behavioral problems, I'm working with teenagers who are soooo sweet and funny and sociable. Elina works in my classroom, too... ( Read more... )

This weekend was a lot of fun. On Saturday I went to Truro, the town right outside Provicetown down the cape, and I stayed at Ian's house for two nights. I love his house down there-it's so "Beachy" lol... I dunno I just love the whole atmosphere down there. Maybe one day I'll be able to have a summer house down there too... maybe ( Read more... )

My favorite poem is Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess."

So I have my econ final tomorrow, and I studied a lot this afternoon because I knew that "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" was going to be on at 9 and I wanted to make sure I could enjoy it! So at 8:57 I put my books away, turned the lights off, and turned towards the tv to enjoy my movie, when all of a sudden, Brian Williams decides to tell ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's December! One more week of classes, then some killer finals, and then I'm going to England for two weeks with Kateri and Elina! I've never left the country before...well, unless you count Quebec...and I am so unbelievably excited. My parents have never really been into traveling, and they think it's weird that I'm so eager to ( Read more... )
