I got home with mom Saturday afternoon. I think I pulled something though in my back because it has been really hurting for the past few days. I have been doing some yoga which has been both helpful and interesting. Yoga must have middle and south-eastern origins because I recognize parts of many of the pose names as sanskrit ( Read more... )

So, I am swamped right now with work, but I HAD to post this. This morning at work I was working for Pat filtering out the romance section which was initially painful but then very quickly became HILARIOUS!!! Some of the titles you come across are so brilliantly done, but then you get others which are so bad that they are even more funny than the ( Read more... )

In terms of school, I have two research papers(one for tomorrow, the other for Wednesday at the latest), a watercolor for tuesday, a Sanskrit and Chinese Art History exam on Wednesday, packing to do on thursday and friday, and a French exam on Friday. My roommate is leaving on thursday, mom comes for me on friday and we drive back on saturday ( Read more... )

so, I saw Pirate Radio recently which I can say unequivocally is AWESOME!!! Seriously, if you love either good rock and roll, good movies, or Bill Neigh then you should see it. In any case, during the movie they use So Long Marianne by Leonard Cohen and hearing that song after so long completely blew me away. When I listen to it, I remember so well ( Read more... )

So, I woke up this morning soo sore because I participated in Mclympics yesterday. There were only three teams who actually participated (probably because the weather was wicked nasty) so the R.A.s who were refing made up a fourth to make it easier to organize. It was cold, but fun. I was there because the International Club (of which I'm now a ( Read more... )

So, I know I was kind of freaking out before (and I don't want anyone to be too concerned or anything) but things are better now. I went to an international club meeting (I love those guys so much. They always cheer me up), came back and blasted some reggae (now I wish I had my speakers. I feel like being really loud and singing, but I'll live) and ( Read more... )

Man.... I don't think I have cried in the past year as much as I have in the past two weeks... I keep thinking I'm over it, but then it keeps surprising me. If my room mate and her friend (who earlier today admitted that he had only ever read one book for pleasure, which is just kind of sad) were not in the room then I would probably be blasting ( Read more... )

Hey invisible readers. Sorry, I know that I said I would post once I reached Tucson and then I didn't. I generally overestimate how much work I will ever be able to do whenever I go on break. I will post again soon with details and or anecdotes once classes have settled (probably after this weekend- once I better know the state of my languages and ( Read more... )

Hey, I know I said I would either post over the weekend or on Monday, but I have one hell of a lot of work to do for classes tonight, laundry and sanskrit studying to do tomorrow, and packing to do the next night, so I'm gonna have to raincheck until I reach Tucson this weekend. I don't really know how many people actually read this blog (probably ( Read more... )
