In less than twelve hours I am fortunate enough to have breakfast with not just Jim, but Gym, as well. Astounding, the good luck I have here in Cambridge. YAYY Collegium! Tonight was a good time; I love this choir 'cause nearly every rehearsal I have a moment of, "OH! That's why I love singing!" And, on top of that, Valerie Gloria Larsen ( Read more... )

...too many ways of virtually channelling my emotions!!! Valerie is a goddess for her laundering ways. In the words of Liz, "I effin' love this girl."

Bridget Blatzheim is incredible. || "Uncle. Uncle. Uncle." || The female orgasm seminar is going to kick ass. || Collegium and the ensuing party are going to top that. || Ben Folds will blow 'em all away. || Designing a music library gets expensive. || My dorm is pleading with me to clean it. || CoverGirl actually makes amazing lip gloss. || Yes, ( Read more... )

There's beauty in spontaneity. Dialogue is much smoother when I haven't already written it out in a journal five times; my emotions are much more raw and real when I haven't tried to fit them into the rigid confines of quasi-poetic words. Case in point: this awfully awkward entry.

So, this evening Killian came over looking for popcorn. I gave him some 'cause I always go to the guys' room to use their microwave, and we all exist in a symbiotic relationship, collectively speaking, here at Harvard anyway. So I followed him over to collect interest on those delicious corn kernels. On the way in Killian tells me the guys are ( Read more... )

EC is awesome. Valerie moreso -- I have to say that, as her minion. p.s. "Minion" is actually a term of endearment, I just know it is. I am avoiding homework. It is catching up with me. Who goes to college to work!?

So. Woke up (supposedly) to my cellphone alarm this morning to participate in a psych study at William James and simultaneously earn fifteen bucks... but instead set the phone to "snooze" and went back to sleep. Woke up five minutes before my *stupid* Quantitative Reasoning course and napped through it. Literally. I'm kind of upset that I ( Read more... )

Sitting in Wiggs F31 with Liz... it's ridiculous how often we hang out. How did I ever make it through September without knowing this girl who lives above me?! Besides all this, I've become super addicted to Thunderbird, which is probably the best program to ever hit the Mac world, um, ever. Combined with the uber-speed of Collegium/Holden/EC/ ( Read more... )

Rolled out of bed this morning about ten minutes to ten -- perfect timing for my arrival to Emerson in my pj's. Prime seating, e-mail checking, and a nice chance to cozy my pink sweatshirt-ed self into my chair before Prof. Parker arrived. Sat through a lecture on Doctor Faustus... which I probably should have read... and then headed back to the ( Read more... )

Got back from Collegium retreat today... it was, in a word, amazing. Great people, great music, great MichaelBarrett; life is good. Some favorite memories include: late-night drunken karaoke, "cleaning" (re: patting with napkins) the pool table with Elaine, Zach, and Liz, sketchy behavior in the church youth room, talking linguistics with Ezra, ( Read more... )
