The girl's rugby team is having a Thanksgiving thing tonight at 6:30 or 7. And I was going to go. But I went to the boy's game earlier today and I kind of feel like I've had my fill of social for the weekend. I just...don't want to be around people. Or I do, but I want to be with my family and I don't want to be around people whose only reason for ( Read more... )

I over did it whilst working out on Tuesday and now my hip hurts. Meh. I'm gonna have to take it easy when I go tonight ( Read more... )

My excitement about this cannot be contained, so I thought I'd share - Western has an American Indian Studies Minor. So I'm thinking I'll minor in Spanish and American Indian Studies, with my major still being English Lit ( Read more... )

My room is fantastically clean. As is the rest of the house. My roomies and I (minus Kati, who bitched for days about how dirty the house was, but didn't lift a finger to actually help us clean up) went on a cleaning spree on our lovely day off from school, and the place looks so much better. I'm actually relaxed when I come home instead of ( Read more... )

I'm supposed to be reading from page 113 to page 166 in Kiran Desai's "The Inheritance of Loss." It's a very good book thus far, and I'm currently on page 131. I have, however, taken a break from reading to try to figure out what this book smells like. I typically don't go around just smelling books, although I do love the way books smell - paper, ( Read more... )

I think I may have worked out where my plot seems to be going. I'm not sure who's guilty and who's not, but I know all my characters, and where they'll end up. Which is more than I usually know going into any story, so I'm pretty excited. I think I may also have done some pretty good work, considering I've never written a mystery before in my life ( Read more... )

I'm done with class for the day and intend to devote the rest of the day to upping my word count. I wish I could devote the entire weekend to it, but I've got some reading and a reading response to do for English and an essay for Spanish. In spite of having homework to do I'm quite a cozy, fairly happy little clam at the moment. Without the ( Read more... )

I was at a Boris' house tonight, celebrating her 20th birthday, when I heard the news that John McCain had conceded the presidency and Barack Obama had won by a landslide vote. At first I didn't believe it. I thought it was just her little brother playing a trick on her. Then I saw the fireworks outside and went out the front door and heard, from ( Read more... )

So apparently now none of us are moving out. I didn't really want to leave anyway, but now because our house is changing hands, there's the chance that rent could be lowered, so we're waiting it out. And Kati was going to move out anyway, but the boys she was going to move in with decided they'd rather keep the house as it is. So we're all staying ( Read more... )

So I thought both of my piercings in my ears had closed up, but it turns out that only one closed up, and I've been wearing an earring in the one ear that's carved to look like a feather. Morgan says it makes me look like a gay Indian man, and that turned into the idea that everyone in our house should dress up as one of the Village People. But my ( Read more... )
