I have my first and only weekend off coming up. (that's two days off in a row people, let the party begin).  My cousin told me that I need at least one day off a week in order to enjoy life and I actually...don't agree.  It takes effort to enjoy life, and sometimes just a simple decision that you're fine ( Read more... )

So, remember that to-do list I made.  yeah right.  I haven't finished any books, barely revised anything for my novel and have successfully stressed myself out while thinking about a Fulbright scholarship.  It's not just the Fulbright though; there's also a Marshall scholarship I'm looking at, and maybe grad school applications.  All of which ( Read more... )

I suppose I'm long overdue for an update.  It's amazing when you have nothing to do, nothing gets done.  As opposed when you have everything to do, everything and then some gets done.  You know exactly what I mean.

Finished, finuto, over and out ( Read more... )

I'm comfortable here.  I really am, finally it seems.  I know exactly how long it takes to walk places.  I know where all the coffee and tea shops are and when they have their 'happy hours' (=really cheap coffee).  I'm no longer intimidated by research papers.  I'm not afraid to take risks in ( Read more... )

   So I left you hanging. Sorry ( Read more... )

I know, I know, it's been a while.  I've kind of been busy, but mostly been lazy.  You know how it goes ( Read more... )
