Yesterday was, in a word, perfect.  It wasn't great because of any one big thing but rather because all of the little things seemed to add up just right.  What by all rights was a consolation trip turned into one of the best days I can remember.  Leanne and I went a little AWOL, loaded up on coffee, and drove to Atlanta.  We went hypothetical ( Read more... )

As proof that I obviously have a midterm to study for and a project due, I have decided that I haven't had a pictorial update in a very long time so here's a collection of photos ranging from DC to formal.  Enjoy.

I suddenly have an excess of freetime and it worries me.  That can't be healthy that I start to worry when not overscheduled.  I hope I'm not forgetting something crucial.  The upside, however, is that my eye has stopped twitching and I have time for a social life, always a plus.  Let's just hope it stays this way.  On a side note I went to the ( Read more... )

I think I must have mastered the skill of speaking in inaudible ranges.  You know sort of like those dog whistles that humans aren't supposed to be able to hear or the bug repellents that let out a sound too high pitched to hear.  I must speak in those because I am the queen of getting tuned out.  My roommate, my sorority sisters, my studio friends ( Read more... )

Okay so I'm officially a slacker for not updating for weeks but at least I haven't abandoned my journal completely. Life has been crazy but amazing lately. I feel like I'm running from one meeting to the next lately but plenty of Einstein's coffee and actually scheduling a social life has kept me somewhat sane. I'm enjoying a relaxing holiday ( Read more... )

I hate rush. End of story. On the upside I now have discovered that I am entirely capable of talking to a wall for upwards of 45 minutes without any trouble. Yay for social skills.

I'm off. My summer has officially ended and I'm back to the sweltering world of the Deep South for rush insanity. It's sad to leave k-town but I can't wait to be back in the dorms and see everyone. Here's to another interesting school year and singing at the top of my lungs on my 10 hour drive.

I'm almost off. I leave DC in less than three hours. All of my friends have left for work. I've turned in my key. Now I'm just left to rattle around and dread having to drag my luggage up to Union Station. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't rain. I have nothing but fourteen hours on a train (and that's if the train stays on ( Read more... )

Apparently I am a spontaneous hummer.  When this began I have no idea.  I didn't even notice until one of the other interns in my office called me on it.  It's a completely uncontrollable action like an eyelid spasm or hicupping.  The only upside is that I can stop it willingly when I realize I'm doing it.  It's so weird.  I find myself humming ( Read more... )

My chicken fingers today came with freedom fries.  I felt like a traitor to my political beliefs just for eating them.  As if french fries didn't include enough guilt in consumption as is, overly patriotic xenophobes have to go and rename them.  That's so five years ago.
