So...in March I already threw away two big bags worth of crap, and gave away several boxes more. Still, I've started going through everything again, this time determined to be more ruthless than ever. The first pile I went through was my stuff left over from midd. Now, I'm not talking about books or notes or long articles which I painstakingly ( Read more... )

It's like the changing of the guard, but with less pomp.

I assume I'm not the only one who takes it very personally what pictures show up on calendars for her birth month. Strangely, I have two calendars this year: one sent to me for free from Middlebury [in order to weasel money out of me, ha! Nice try.], and one that I randomly got for Xmas that's ( Read more... )

I just...I just saw someone advertising NaNoWriMo. Holy shit it's almost Novermber. I mean, I know October just started, but geez. And yeah...it's getting colder out (fall's always been my favorite, but I must admit it's not the same with out those campus trees).

This of course has gotten me thinking...should I do NaNo this year? I do type at work ( Read more... )

A bunch of drunk 20-somethings just sang a song from Dora the Explorer in my suite.

I simply needed to share this.

It really put the last four years in perspective...there were a lot of us, and we were all dorkish and crazy and studied ( Read more... )

I went to a play today. It was about art. The last Zoo show I'll ever see. A good experience, I would judge.

I just spent money I don't have on buying a book. And it will be sent to me. It's from Lulu...so we shall see the quality of their binding.
So- to Renaissance Italian Lit or Postmodern German Lit?

Mentally, physically, [ecumenically].

Looks like I might...I might...go to grad school in the fall. If I can get a ta-ship. I hope I can. If I can start saving money...the sooner I can start my life.

At any rate: goodbye Midd.

...I have to turn my head until my darkness goes..." (People could rock in the 60s.)

Yup, it's that time again. It is damn hot outside, and I hate it. Last night I was having a good time walking around campus with an open coat flowing behind me in the cool breeze to the beat of The Mighty Boosh's "Love Games", which makes it impossible to be ( Read more... )
