Obama has just been elected president. It still hasn't hit me yet. But I was inspired enough to know that I needed to mark this ocassion. Hence the journal ( Read more... )

I got to work early like I usually do so that I could walk around and enjoy this day before I had to suffer some more under the fluorescent lights. My campus used to be a school for deaf children. They have only fixed up about 1/5 of the place. So there are all these creepy abandoned buildings behind mine. They have huge glass windows, and are ( Read more... )

This has not been a good weekend at all.  In fact it has been especially crappy.   It starts off with the disappearance of my cell phone, and ends with being humiliated in front of a small, small church congregation.

It's the first time in a long time I felt like I had to say something on this thing, but I think typing this out will help, and ( Read more... )

I have just gotten over being the sickest I have ever been in my life. Thank god for Laurie. She’s my angel. Good news is, I can move around and talk now, and I have to make up for 2 and a half sick days in London. My time here is so short, I just cant waste any of it ( Read more... )

I began making a conscious effort to talk to more people.  I really like the people I have meet so far from California.  It’s kinda weird because I can see parts of my friends at home in them.  Maybe that’s just me being sentimental.

( okay, I lied )

My mom and grandma drove me to the charlotte international Airport and waited with me for a while.  Thankfully there were no tears from them, certainly not from me.  I was too...entranced I suppose is a good word.  I was waiting desperately for that feeling of excitement.  That didn’t come till much later.
