So today was not a great day. This whole week hasn't been the greatest. It wasn't really bad, but was kind of dragging. And I started to doubt myself. So it was a long(ish) week. Weeks (and time in general) go really fast. I think it is part of the not in 'school' not going to 'class' doing homework thing about real life. People say that time goes ( Read more... )

So I just read this article www.phillyburbs.com/news/local/courier_times/courier_times_news_details/article/28/2009/november/15/embattled-swim-club-headed-to-bankruptcy-1.html. It's about the swim club that made the news in the summer for kicking out a camp full of minority kids ( Read more... )

I finished Moby Dick last night. I think I'm not smart enough to read it. I didn't dislike it. I actually enjoyed reading it, I'm glad I did, but I don't think I really got it, and I certainly wouldn't name it THE great American novel as it sometimes is called.

The girl who lived in my apartment before me left a pair of rollerblades. I thought I would try them out today. At first I was going to go to the park, but I didn't want to have to bring a bad and carry it around with me so I decided to just rollerblade to the park.

I am now the proud happy owner of a coffee maker. I looked around at a bunch of places and most were at least $40, but I found one for $20, so I went to buy that one, but as I was going to pay for it, I saw there was a clearance area and there was a nice 10 cup (the other was a cheap 4 cupper) open box model for $21, so I opted for that. So now I ( Read more... )

Starting last night. I found some stuff that I thought might have fallen out of my luggage. There was a huge hole in one of the pockets in my luggage. There was still a bag of stuff in there, but I knew that it was possible that other stuff could have fallen out. There was a bunch of stuff that I couldn't find and while I thought I didn't put it in ( Read more... )
