Everyone fears being like their parents. Well, not everyone. There are some people out there who were blessed with both parents being really caring and thoughtful, loving, people you'd like to live up to.

I guess I only write in this thing when I feel upset. Oh well ( Read more... )

Now that I'm the only person in my family still in Arizona, I foresee feeling lonely at times, but I also foresee being able to make this year entirely about me. I don't think I've ever really done that. I'll only eat what I want, only go where I want, only do what I want.

Holy crap. If life is prom, then I don't have a date. Yet another facebook person is having a baby...and they are my age. The best part is that it's my first boyfriend. The guy who got married like 2 years ago...to a DIFFERENT girl...divorced her...met this girl like 6 months ago and apparently knocked up. But not accidentally, I assume. He ( Read more... )

I'm researching graduate schools to apply to. Luckily, most of them don't even start accepting applications until September, so this gives me time to come up with a good personal statement/statement of purpose/ personal ad. and re-take the GRE. I did ok on the GRE the first time, but just to be impressive, I want to boost my score a bit. Unless I ( Read more... )
