Then I ate at Olive Garden and got a free sample of wine, mmm. I talked to Julia and Arie on the phone who wished me a happy birthday once it was midnight on the ( Read more... )

I have been working on my first homework assignment for grad school - an exegesis! It's a five minute presentation in which we explain and illuminate a text. So I chose to use some of Basho's haiku and explain how the poems are developed within the reader's mind rather than on the page, but I'm worried that I can't make this last 5 whole minutes ( Read more... )

Wow, so... So much has happened since I last wrote. A lot of it has been stressful and I'm not really going into detail in this journal. But I've been back in my hometown in MA since Saturday. Arie threw me a surprise "going away party" which was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me. We went into Philly to The Lucky Strike ( Read more... )

I should go to sleep soon because I have to work in the morning, but Miami Ink is on :)... anyway this was a FUN weekend! Saturday I went to Rachel's house (we won't talk about the train ride there, I'd rather forget about it) but it was so nice to see Rachel!

I just finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird.... it was SUCH a great book! I'm working on reading all the English/American litterature that an English major should have read, or that I was supposed to read in high school and never did... although I think I did read some of this book, but it was probably 9th grade so I barely remember it. Since I ( Read more... )

I still haven't found a job :-\ Last week I concentrated on stuff for the Fall (because it's more fun than looking for a job, hehe) plus it needed to get done, and this week I'm feeling sick. I should ignore that and go out and look anyway, but, I feel so dizzy from the cold medicine, and lightheaded, and just not myself. I'm not sure how much ( Read more... )
