so basically i feel like none of my friends write on lj anymore. but it's ok. this last weekend and week has been a living hell for me. i dont know how to explain it other than i think i might have been bordering on a panic attack, or so katie tells me. i freaked out over work and over how i look. i kept on trying to ignore it at times, only ( Read more... )

well, today i went church hoping around rome. i went and saw several churches around piazza della republica, including the one containing bernini's ectasy of st.teresa. it was beautiful. then i went to the forum area and saw the imperial forum (not as good as the regular forum) and i went up to the top of the Vittorio Emmanuele monument, ( Read more... )

so im getting frustrated a bit with my design project. my trip to germany was not too fun. i did like the xmas markets, but theyre like my mom's sort of thing, not mine. my aunt and uncle were getting on my nerves too. my aunt susan just works to lease her husband, most of the time. i feel like smacking her over the head and being like you ( Read more... )

well, you would think after doing laundry for 2 and a half yrs almost at college i would know what im doing. well today, i must have had a major brain fart b/c i was like oh yey, im gonna wash all my towels b/c i dont have to take them with me to germany this weekend. it was a perfect idea b/c i wouldnt need them and they could take all the time ( Read more... )
