first and foremost, I got a postcard today. From Caro. Super cool. Its from a place called Grenoble, where she is visiting one of her friends and practicing her French. She is almost as excited as I am for me to go to Spain next year, and plus I am going to get to see her on the 14th of May!!! Soo Cool! Also, Paul might be there in leavenworth too ( Read more... )

just a runny nose and watery eyes today. Skipping Spanish, too sick. At least its getting better, but I should have been drinking a lot more echinacia tea. On the bright side of things, I got to talk to paul online w/ webcams for about an hour yesterday, which I have been wanting to do for a very long time. Plus, I got to talk to Caro, who's going ( Read more... )

I hate evangelical shows. One of the slimiest I have ever seen is on TV right now. They aren't actually even talking about God, as long as you are listening carefully. They throw in an "Alleluah" or a "Prays Jesus" or a "Thank the Lord" or a "I want 10,000 more people saved" as they talk about the importance of giving to the church. The guy looks ( Read more... )

Last night: Upfront theater. Tied the funniest that I have ever seen it. It was awesome. Plus, Dax and Kelsey were there along with Holly and Morgan, so it was a friggin' blast. Still laughing about it in my sleep. Then we went back to play pictionary at Dax's house, which was also awesome. By the time I got back, it was about three o clock in the ( Read more... )

Done with my French Oral Exam. I did pretty damn well, if I do say so myself. I still have my final to go, but I am pretty relieved that that part is over. I got a 100 percent on my last math test. 100 percent. Its really not that hard of a class, but, with the curve, that pretty much guarentees the A and not the A minus in the class, which is one ( Read more... )

Not a bad few days at all. Went to Dax's birthday party, first of all. TONS of fun. Dax didn't know I was coming, so he was really happy when I showed up and surprised him (Jean invited me secretly) It was a blast! Cool music, great people, and we even went on a "ninja run" down on one of the docks and had ninja fights and things. Awesome. Now, I ( Read more... )

I am jack's drive to study. I studied for hours upon end today and I still have a story and a poem to read/nearly memorize and some idioms to understand from my book. Then, tommorow, I am going to study for hours again. This is pretty much the routine at college, I have discovered. There is no last minute cramming anymore. You don't realize it at ( Read more... )

I would have to say that this is by far the best Spanish essay I have ever written. I have really been improving in my writing ability and especially in my idioms, sayings and so forth. My professor makes a point of hating Spanglish, in which he also clasifies English terms that are translated directly. He took HUGE points off on my first essay ( Read more... )

AAAAAHHHH! *Stretches* I love naps. Just another hour gone by of the first cloudy day in a week and a half. Now all I have left to do is write a Spanish Composition on "Divorce as an Improvised Solution," go do some situps and stuff at the old gymnasio, and probably call my dad. Also, Arcadia (my foreign exchange program) is having some technical ( Read more... )

So I decided to do something with myself today and went on an especially long bike ride from which my legs are still aching. I went down to rent a movie from the independant film store "Film is Truth." As I doggedly watched my bike through my parranoiavision, I saw a movie called "FerenHYPE 9-11" which went to discredit everything that was said in ( Read more... )
