I haven't written for awhile because I didn't want to ruin the surprise that I'm back in Houston. Wheee ( Read more... )

I just finished a paper in 1 hour 20 minutes. I'm pretty sure that's a new record for me. Ok it was only 1600 words, and by far the worst paper I've ever written, but at this point I could hardly care. I'm so freaking tired. I'm actually so tired I missed my one shot at finally being gay last night, if you can believe that. Oh the humanity ( Read more... )

Africa! Things don't really run on schedule here. Which for the moment means that my university arbitrarily decided to end the semester a week early. I'm not really mentally prepared for the semester to already be over on THURSDAY, but I'm not gonna complain ( Read more... )

Back from our spring ride, so named because we spent the majority of the time riding around. 27 hour train ride to Johannesburg. 8 hour drive to Kruger. 2 hour sunset safari. 8 hour all day safari. 8 hour drive back to Johannesburg. 20 hour bus ride back to Cape Town. Had we realized how much time we would spend in transit, we might have planned it ( Read more... )

Am peacing out for the next week to go on a safari for our spring break. I promise I'll actually post pictures for once when I get back, I should finally have some cool ones instead of just me and my drunk roommates.

Have fun in school, kids!

So I got here, and we didn't have internet for a week. Then we got internet, and my computer broke. Fixing it through UCT IT took a couple weeks, but then it eventually broke again. Took it to a repair shop, paid 200$, and had it back and fixed within a couple of days... but then our internet stopped working. Its finally up again but by now I am so ( Read more... )

I thought that I had updated since I came here, but apparently not. So uhh, hey guys, I'm in Africa and have been for over two weeks. I keep wanting to say that I moved to Africa because it sounds more dramatic but I didn't bring any furniture, only 2 suitcases, so does that count ( Read more... )

So I was in Houston for the past week and in trying to spend as much quality time with everyone I kind of fell off the internet map, which is totally fine although it makes me feel kind of oddly cut off and disconnected from the world and also makes me wish I wasn't so immersed in the interwebz. Anyway, Houston was really great. I didn't get to do ( Read more... )

Sandra and I finally attempted to live it up like we've been saying we should. Since she and Jo start work on Monday, this was our last week to let our hair down and be the three amigos, and the plan was to take full advantage of it. We've mostly slept. But Wednesday's plan was: see War of the Worlds, pop in at Max's birthday party, pop in at the ( Read more... )
