Well, at the request of Erica, I just might start updating this more regularly again. I've been in NZ for just over a month now. I've seen Auckland, the Northland, and am now in the Coromandel Peninsula. I have a training session tomorrow for my job waitressing. We'll be tasting wines, entrees, coffee and desserts. Mmmm, getting paid to eat, I ( Read more... )

Wow, it's almost over. Just one more final and 10 more days and I'll be a college graduate. I have no plans for the summer or next year yet. Pretty pathetic. I'd love to travel, but I have no money, and with no job to speak of it's not looking good. But as I reflect on my past four years at Cornell I can only smile at all the fun I've had, all that ( Read more... )

So this morning I woke up around 6am and thought I smelled onions, weird. I went back to sleep but when I woke up for real at 9am I realized what the smell actually was: skunk. My whole room smelled like it. As did the rest of the house. And me. And ALL my clothes. Fucking skunk burrowed under the foundation, must have been living there (and in ( Read more... )

Well, I guess a bunch has happened in the past month since I've updated, but it's mostly been school related stresses, such as 3 prelims in three days (2 on one day, too). But last weekend was fall break, and I went to visit Andy in Chicago. I'd never been, and it was a good excuse to go somewhere cool for a couple days. I have to say it was a nice ( Read more... )

I have returned to Ithaca for my senior year!! This is actually a very frightening thought, as I have no f-ing clue what I am doing with my life after college. I will definitely go to grad school at some point, but I want to take a year or two off first. But I don't want to just get a job and work during this time. Maybe some internships, co-ops, I ( Read more... )

I'm kinda freaking out cuz I just bought a plane ticket, mostly spur of the moment... I decided to go to Chicago for fall break to visit Andy, and as an added incentive Brian who I met in Arkansas, though I'm not sure if he'll be around. Today was not a good day for my bank account. I also bought myself a new top of the line tennis racket, a Wilson ( Read more... )

I've been remiss for updating this summer, but I've been so busy having fun! I really mean it when I say that this was quite possibly the best summer I have ever had, certainly the best in recent memory. The friends I made were amazing people, we are still all in contact thanks to Brian's listserve he made. I went camping/white water rafting this ( Read more... )

Although I was skeptical about spending the summer in Arkansas at first, it has turned out to be one of the best summers I've had in a long time. It's like I'm back to freshman year of college, meeting new friends, doing all sorts of fun things, taking up all our spare time, and the weather is actually nice ( Read more... )
