what i learned since wednesday (actually, thursday)!
1. don't listen to the persuasions of advisors; YOU'RE the one that has to live with the schedule. friday morning, i woke up at 10 to go to my advising appointment for next semester, and i broke the news to my advisor that i want to apply to gallatin for next fall.  she didn't try to talk me out ( Read more... )

1. "disturbia" is scarier than any other movie i've seen.  (oh wow.  just when i was typing that, i realized that "disturbia" is like "suburbia", aka the reason they titled it.)  so the nyu movie channel plays about six new-ish and old movies a month throughout every day, and one of the ones that keeps playing throughout september is "disturbia".  ( Read more... )

     so it's been a pretty uneventful three and a half days.  tuesday was nice because "music of protest and politics of music", ending at  1:30, is my last class of the day, and afterward i went to lunch with three of the other girls in the class.  it's crazy how much little things like being invited to lunch mean to me now.  i have to figure out ( Read more... )

     i was sitting down to write this entry (incredibly proud of myself, as it was, that i successfully and independently set up an internet connection) when blood started streaming down from my nose.  it's probably from doing more walking in 24 hours than i ever have in my entire life (that, or justin gave me a parting gift of his freaky nosebleed ( Read more... )

     in the past three weeks, i have gone to cool beanz for the first time, been known as spiderpig, seen three teachers (separately) at starbucks, gone to mr. cheapo's twice (without being hit on), had a serious discussion about diversity, discovered i'll be living with ten suitemates in a little italy apartment for the next year of my life, been ( Read more... )

things i need to do
1) stop comparing north carolina's beaches with jones beach and robert moses and be happy with what i have (even if n.c. beaches are a thousand times better).
2) work on my coordination, and i don't mean hand-eye.  ahem.
3) realize that it's not worth the time to talk justin shoe out of blowing something up, because even if there ( Read more... )

harry potter and the deathly hallows is the most incredible experience i've ever read.  only animate, in-person discussions will do it justice, so i won't really say much here, except i still miss albus dumbledore, and i still love severus snape. 

i haven't done this in a while!  
things i've learned this week (and a half)
-alex russian is still gorgeous, but now that i accidentally saw his penis at lauren's party, the mystery's gone.  sigh.  also, blair and i would have made awesome cowgirls because the caricaturist's interpretation of us riding into the sunset would incite emotion in anyone.

(the lj cut was supposed to read "a week of 'oh my gosh' moments: an indulgent senior reflection--you've been warned", but apparently i don't have enough skills to do that)

1) thursday night was my last high school concert, but it didn't really "hit" me until the third to last line of "ride".  i almost felt like stopping and taking the clarinet out ( Read more... )

memorable conversations from the past week 
(a balmy, hot-ish day at six flags, after going on five non-roller coasters and wishing i liked roller coasters)
me: (after learning joe has gone on the lengendary kingda ka) did you feel like you were going to die?
joe: no, it felt like i was going to orgasm.

(high school west stage, shaking hands with mr. ( Read more... )
