I just spent a week home. I'm now no longer sick, I got to sleep in multiple days, I've done no schoolwork (which will actually change by the end of the night), saw a few friends, I enjoyed the Fall weather after it stopped raining, got to play with my cats, watched TV and movies I don't have at school, saw family in Utica, and hung out at home ( Read more... )

I'm home and it's the middle of the night. As usual, I'm the only one up and thus, thinking. Things aren't working out for me right now. And I need to change a few things. For the most part, I know what I should do, only I don't know how to just yet. I keep thinking that I'll be happier somewhere else. Like, if I'm home, then things will get easier ( Read more... )

So... I'm sick, and annoyingly so. Sinuses, throat, coughing like crazy. This would be fine if I could just lie in bed drinking hot tea and watching Disney movies til I got better, except for the ton of work due tomorrow. So, I probably won't sleep too much tonight, which is bad, because you need sleep when you're sick ( Read more... )

So today, I woke up at the ass crack of dawn, hopped in a cab, got on a train, another train, and then finally a shuttle to make it to Rutgers in time to see the Dalai Lama speak. He was amazing. His mere presence moved me, as he was so much more good-humored, lighthearted, and humble than I ever really imagined. He seemed to like joking with the ( Read more... )

"Nothing Gold Can Stay"

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay.

-Robert Frost

It's really only recently that I'm realizing what an absolute truth this is.
And I think I can almost finally  ( Read more... )

So today was quite pretty outside. Not horribly humid. Not rainy. Just... nice. I wasn't feeling all too wonderful, so I didn't get to play in it, but maybe tomorrow if it's the same way. I did, however, go driving around a bit today and that was fun ( Read more... )

Yes, that' right. It really is 7 in the morning. I just woke up about an hour ago after having fallen asleep during a weak attempt to get my stuff packed for the move back to PA for the school year. And I do have a house, so that's awesome. Not the original one with the original people, but a better house with people who are just as cool. My room ( Read more... )

So there really doesn't seem to be one department of my life that looks like it's functioning properly. Seriously. Nothing has gone right in weeks and well, I frankly think I'm pretty fucked and have managed to paint myself into all sorts of corners! Skillful, really ( Read more... )

For some reason, this weekend has seemed like it's taken a week to go by. I'm not sure why, because it really hasn't been bad. Actually, I've spent a rather large chunk of it either relatively drunk or drinking. I've just had such a long summer break that this truly was necessary. Thursday night, Emily, Juan, and I hung out at Amy's and ran amuck ( Read more... )

So within the past week ( Read more... )
