So I'm doing REALLY well with packing so far. I've packed all of the clothes I want to bring (which is about six or seven blouses, four tank tops, five skirts, two pairs of pants, a dress, a light jacket, several scarves, tights, a hat, and dress shoes) and my suitcase is barely half full. Vacuum bags rock! Other clothes which will be packed: ( Read more... )

Hey, I never really wrote about the holidays! They were just fine. Here are things I got fro Christmas:

From sergei_mcsick: The comic The Jew of New York; + strings, chin rest, shoulder rest, and rosin for my violin!
From flautenpupie_79: The cookbook Great Indian Feasts! & Good chocolate!
From my brother: A sushi kit, the book Living Abroad in Spain, a signed copy of ( Read more... )

I think my bicycle got impounded? I'm not sure, but I didn't see a broken lock lying around, so that could indicate that the government instead of the usual thugs are involved. It's my own fault, whether it was stolen or impounded - I left the poor thing sitting at the bike rack at work for quite a long time. But if it WAS impounded, I'm not sure ( Read more... )

Well, here I am at home for a nice two-week break. Most of my final grades are in. I got a 201/200 on my Russian final. I got a goddamn 85% on my goddamn impossible Environmental Science final that I thought I probably got a goddamn A on, but I'm over that.

It's a high of 7 today, with a low of -1 and a wind chill factor of -21. Can't I just skip my final and stay inside all day? And I'm not looking forward to the walk to work. I don't want a car but I wish I could get some kinda giant heated hamster ball or something.

(Speaking of those, sergei_mcsick and I went to see BOLT last night. It was better than I ( Read more... )

Two final papers done...one to go! And three exams, but I'm not going to think about them right now.

Tonight, I decided, would be a great night to try out another curry, now that I have some more ingredients. I made two -- one was prawns with turmeric, onions and Maharashtrian garam masala (a lot like the more common Punjabi garam masala but with sesame seeds and peanuts and toasted coconut in it), and the other was potatoes, carrots and peas ( Read more... )
