This sucks! It really sucks! For those of you who don't know, my mom is in the process of moving from Vermont to California via car, and today she called me to tell me that one of my two cats, named Jeremy, escaped from the car and now she can't find him. She had taken his harness off, but left his collar on (hopefully even though he does have a ( Read more... )

Well I didn't get the internship at the zoo. They said that I'm to young to work with a zoo keeper and the only way I could is if I were a college senior majoring in zoology. I emailed a writer to see if I could intern with them but they haven't emailed me back. My mom wants me to intern at the zine library but that doesn't seem too interesting. If ( Read more... )

This month started off well enough. I finished writing my book. My agent is going to start trying to sell it. Stuff like that. Then last week, I lost my third intership in a row.

But I'm the only one doing the ( Read more... )

I got a total of 214.5 hours of service this summer, yes I know I have no life. But lately I've really noticed the fact I have no life. I've noticed that all my friends have dated ( Read more... )

I don't Know what is wrong with me. Lately I have been feeling a bit brain dead. So brain dead that I find myself unable to work on the book that I'm writing, but not enough to find myself unable to write a twelve page paper on treatment of immigrant communities in the United States. When it comes to my book I have been stuck on page 30 for the ( Read more... )

Yesterday I presented what I did on both my trips in January. I also was srving some of the salsa I learned to make from my host mom when I was in Guatemala.It made quite the stir, due to that it was REALLY spicy.

The whole reason for that was for our mini challenge. The trip ( Read more... )
