In exactly two weeks i'll be in an airplane headed to texas. i think it might get quite boring there, but i'm more excited about the fact that that means i will be finished with my undergrad! jeez, seems like it took forever. i have an amazingly stressful week ahead of me. i have a paper due tomorrow that i haven't even started 'cos i was too busy ( Read more... )

I just finished my sixth week of school. only four more weeks to go. it feels great. what doesn't feel great, however, is all this talk about valentine's day. i'm tired of people asking me what i'm going to do. maybe single people don't have much sympathy for me, but having a long distance relationship is hard. seeing someone in a computer screen ( Read more... )

 I'm kind of feeling overwhelmed with the amount of stuff i have to read and study for this weekend, but i'm trying my hardest to take things one at a time. also, thank god for MLK's birthday! no school = more study time. being busy can be good though. i'm not all super depressed about missing kimble anymore because time is actually going by fast ( Read more... )

It's been hard getting back in the rhythm of things here. i'm still on hawaii time, so i'm going to bed like at 1am, but having to get up for work at around 5:30am, then going to school all day. needless to say, i'm exhausted, and that hasn't helped with my emotional state. i'm think i'm getting better as the days go by, but the first days i came ( Read more... )

It's finally hitting me: i'm going to be living in this house in about four months, my friends and family thousands of miles away. i know for a fact it's going to be hard. i'm 23 years old and have lived in the comfort of my parent's home my entire life. i think if i didn't move here though, i'm not sure when i would. my relationship with my family ( Read more... )

Feels weird not having homework...but in a good way. i didn't do much this weekend, but that's okay i guess 'cos i'm BROKE! b-r-o-k-e, broke. i only worked 16 hrs in the last pay period. eek. everyone is getting a $10 gift this year, so i need to know what you guys want. i guess while i was in school it was kind of a blessing that they were only ( Read more... )

Feeling good! had a good thanksgiving at grace's house, (thanks for having me), and i haven't left my house since. i've literally been either on-line or reading for finals. i stepped out yesterday to buy some redbull 'cos i kept falling asleep while reading, and that was the last time i got fresh air. weirdly enough though, i feel fine. i just keep ( Read more... )

SO, my folklore paper ended up being 10 pages! (i wrote it on the folkloric elements of the book, Matilda). i finished just in time this morning to be able to go to my morning class and take a much-dreaded quiz. i go to print my paper and i've run out of ink, (of course). so i email it to myself and go to the family computer, which takes TWENTY ( Read more... )

I feel like a zombie. i don't know how i did it, but i wrote two papers in about 24 hours. last night i slept four hours. here's the thing though: the paper i turned in today was supposed to be 8 pages, but i just could't do it, and i only did 7 pages. when i get to class someone tells me that she said that if we do less than 8 pages it's an ( Read more... )
