First of all, Galesburg had a fire. Being Galesburg, it is the hot news. No pun intended. Here are also some pictures of said fire in progress. The Red Cross was apparently lost, which is sort of ironic, cause now they have to give support to themselves ( Read more... )

I feel like an update would be good, but I don't have much to write about. I think the lack of direct sunlight and blue skies is getting to me, as I have felt tired, impatient and generally "blah" since getting back to the midwest. I think it's time for an adventure, but not today, because today is packed. Hopefully tonight things will go ( Read more... )

I went to the chiropractor today, and I am paying for it. It's the first time I've had to go since before Christmas, but my muscles have become quite accustomed to my alignment being out of whack, so an adjustment does not feel as good as I would like it to. The soreness of my back combined with the soreness from the gym makes me cranky. I think ( Read more... )

My roommate thinks I am a robot. This is mostly due to my ability to hear fire alarms in the quads and predict SVU episodes. Also a little bit because she gets loopy on sleep deprivation.

Since I got back to school, I have just been tired. I don't know what it is, but I feel zapped on energy. My schedule is less hectic than last term, overall I think there's less stress at this point, but I have wanted nothing more the past week or so but naps. Perhaps it is time for me to go attempt to give blood and get my free iron levels ( Read more... )

The girl who lives upstairs is talking to the custodian that cleans our house. This is not uncommon, but I think today she is explaining her piercings and tattoos. She might even be showing him.

"You know, like way back, even ancient people used to tattoo. So it's, like, part of our history."

There is no good left in the world.

Yesterday it was 50 degrees at 10AM. Today it is 33 degrees, and there seems to be snow/other cold stuff falling from the sky. You'd think I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but it always gets me.

Today is a day I need to be productive. There is much to be done before my class at 7 tonight, and I have the rest of the day to do it. First and foremost there is a shower and lunch. The former because the gym made me yucky and the latter because if not, I'll wreck my concentration for the rest of the day. The rest of my to-do list consists of ( Read more... )

Since my last post, I have gotten significantly better, the weather has gotten warmer, and I still don't know about being off-board. I met with the head of dining services whenever I posted last, and he said, "well, your email was very informative, but now I have to do my own research". And that's the last I have heard. But I have not touched my ( Read more... )

So, back at school I am. It is cold here, I am still sick (although hopefully on the path to recovery), and have my first 2 classes today. Intro to Drama went well, and I have read most of the plays, so it should go quite well. I am not the only senior in the class, and more importantly, not the only senior Theatre major. As for scenic art, I ( Read more... )
