I can't remember how we got from Prague to Budapest and Budapest to Vienna. I remember a train, and I think I remember a bus, but I can't remember which was which. Um, someone please help me, because I think I'm losing my mind.

Tonight I marked another item off my summer "to-do" list: complete my 2005 taxes. Haha, oops, I think I should have done that back in April, but I don't think the government is that eager to refund my $24.36 anyway. Now the list is dwindling, which is satisfying yet disheartening--I mean, what will I do with my summer once I've conquered the list ( Read more... )

I didn't think it was possible for me to sleep away about 15 hours in one day, but apparently I can. After being the sickest I've been in a while last night and into this morning, I figured my manager didn't want me working and called in sick. The handbook said they wanted to hear from me four hours in advance and for me to find another hostess to ( Read more... )

Because Chris supposedly returns from his six-day training in the woods today, I slept with my phone next to me on the bed last night. Yes, I know, how pathetic. However, when I woke up to its vibrations this morning around 10, it wasn't Chris but Danny texting me. Haha, there's nothing like waking up to an "hola" from your Ziwet friend in Miami!

I can honestly say that I have a new appreciation for this place, too; it's low-intensity and sufficiently air-conditioned, which works for me. Plus, I can take ( Read more... )

I know it seems amazing, but mark this as the first time I've disagreed with a fellow Democrat--well, not really the first time, but still... CNN.com is running an article about how the Department of Homeland Security is reallocating terrorism grants. Among the changes is a decrease in funds directed toward New York and Washington, D.C. Naturally, ( Read more... )

If this is what my summer is going to be like... I fucking quit right now.

I don't think it's natural to dread your life quite this much while on summer break. Why is it that the only jobs available to a sophomore in college are mind-numbingly boring? I had the hostess job figured out after one day in training, and after two weeks of it, I'm already like, "Oh crap. I have to do this all summer." I mean, sometimes you just ( Read more... )
