Day 3 (Ushuaia--Beagle Channel)
Sailed on the Beagle Channel today. How cool is that!?! Bring on World/US History now. Think Charles Darwin. SMS Beagle. Yup. We hopped on a little ship today and sailed on it, like nothing at all. :-) Man, I’m such a history dork.
But what’s even cooler than sailing on the Beagle Channel? Seeing Sea Lion island with the cormorants, which I ( Read more... ) -
Argentina-Day 2 (Ushuaia: Tierra Del Fuego)
Woke up early to hop on a flight down to Ushuaia-Fin del Mundo (The End of the World). Seriously, no on in this country speaks English. The check-in lady at the airport didn’t speak any. At least in Poland, etc. they spoke English at the airport. Ok, I shouldn't compare S.America with Europe, but I honestly have never been so thrown off at the ( Read more... ) -
Argentina-Day 1 (Buenos Aires)
Finally landed in Buenos Aires around….6pm. 2.5 days late. Fine-we can work with this. Get dropped off at my hotel…no on in this country speaks English. Silly me thought “oh, I’ve traveled all around the world, NO PROBLEM!!” Um, everyone in Europe speaks English. And the countries where they don’t…aka Germany…I speak enough German to get around ( Read more... ) -
Argentina--Day 0 (Fly Atlanta to Miami to Sao Paulo to Buenos Aires)
More like Day -2. Was supposed to leave Sunday. It’s now Tuesday. Buddy passes were the worst invention in the world. Ok, maybe rather the statement should be, buddy passes are terrible things for someone who needs to plan out every part of a trip. Aka. Me.
Buddy Passes (for those unaware) are standby tickets at very discounted rates to wherever ( Read more... ) -

I randomly get hit with waves of sadness. Is that weird...? -
Stories
My life is getting more and more ridiculous. Let’s see…what’s happened in just the last 3 days? I was propelled like a human cannonball from 6 feet up, tumbling down to the ground, bruising my shoulder, and scratching my face and hand. I was on the runway about to take off when our plane turned around b/c a plane crashed landed in Philly-where I ( Read more... ) -
Men
Disgust. It’s the only word that comes to mind nowadays. Every time I think about them, about certain individuals, about everything, I’m just hit with a wave of disgust. Seriously, how did the world get so ugly? Why is this all happening all around me? Again. But this time it seems so much worse. I thought it was b/c I’m older now and all ( Read more... ) -
Grabbing Life and Kicking Ass
So I just had the most AMAZING chocolate cake-completely heavenly. But you know what’s better than heavenly chocolate cake? The fact that my totally awesome friend Vanessa finally snapped me out of myself. !!!! I know. It’s kinda amazing. I’m kinda impressed. And I must say, having a friend who’s more down to earth and straight-forward about ( Read more... ) -
New Year--New Country?
I can't sleep. Since when can I not sleep? It's the middle of the night--I can't even call anyone. All other normal people are nice and sound asleep. It's now 5am, and I've spent the last 45 minutes rolling around, way too awake for my own peace of mind. I should have gone out last night--then I could at least have passed out and woken up at a ( Read more... ) -
Today, Tomorrow, and the Next 5 Months...
So I got feedback from one of the partners in my practice on Friday that one of my areas of improvement is to try and look/act older. Given how young I am, and that most of my clients could probably be my parents, I should try to act older. So I tried that today. Acting more mature than usual (if one can imagine me even more serious than the ( Read more... )
