Well, I just got my first grad school tuition bill. As much as that makes me go :P, it also kind of makes me giggly because it means I'm a grad student, officially.

Also in that vein, I got an email from the department regarding the possibility of a 6-week study abroad program at the National University of Ireland in Galway. It's not a definite ( Read more... )

VERDICT:  On Where the Wild Things Are.

Honestly?  Still digesting it.  I think I liked it.  I know I loved the soundtrack, and the visuals.  And the boy who played Max is adorable.  The movie itself...dunno how I felt about it, actually!  I didn't dislike it, but I dunno if I loved it.  There was something creepy about it, and really dark.  Which I ( Read more... )

Here I am, watching the cinematic masterpiece that is sure to be The Proposal, being yet again oddly attracted to...whatever that guy in it's name is.  Ryan Reynolds.  Yes.

So anyway. I feel like writing something, and since there is really nothing important going on in my life to write about, here are some mundane highlights:

• I can't log in to ( Read more... )

I went into McCaffrey's today at 10 and it turns out Joe screwed up the schedule so I got to go home!  :D  I think on any other day I'd have just stayed, but I'm working every other day this week, and after two days of going directly from the McCaffrey's to B&N and essentially working 12 hour days, I'm kind of all about having a day of nothing.   ( Read more... )

I am not pleased.  This is because this morning, when I went to B&N to get my schedule for this week worked out, I hit my toe on the door at an awkward angle, effectively slicing it open.  It hurts now, and is wrapped in gauze, and gross, and makes me unable to run.  So much for my gym plans.  I am tempted to go see if biking does not hurt.  But ( Read more... )

The library had a booksale earlier this week.  I went in on the last two days, when everything was $1 (Monday) or $0.25 (Tuesday).  For about seven dollars I bought a ton of books, mostly random but a few that I'd been meaning to get.  For instance, I got HP & the Sorcerer's Stone in hardcover, which I've wanted for a long time because it bothered ( Read more... )

I just gave Zoo and Li some liver and they just about flipped their shit.  I'm pretty sure they understand the word "treat" now (not unlike Walker and Wrangler), so they had already run up to the front of the cage and were all but throwing themselves out if it to get the meat.  Good God.  Still getting huge.  Zoo tried to jump from my lap to my ( Read more... )

I gotta admit, I didn't believe the Sesame People when they said I wouldn't be working the full 11 hour shifts they scheduled me for.  But hark!  Every day this week I've been released by 3:30.  Less money, but we aren't allowed to work overtime anyway so who cares!  So far, it's not too horrible.  There was a moment Monday morning when I thought ( Read more... )

Kristin and Kir's parties were pretty fantastic last week, for many reasons, but most of all because I hadn't seen the BRC properly in probably almost a year.  Obscene. I didn't want the night to end for the first time in a long time.  Last week in general was wonderful all around, between the BRC-ness, and Scranton (although maybe not the RV and ( Read more... )

Oy vey, today was just a completely miserable day weather-wise.  I just did not want to leave the Height.  However, three classes and a meeting kind of make that necessary.  Buh.  Would have been better to stay in my room and read and watch movies.

I am currently running a ~*~friendship & self control experiment~*~.  Don't ask.  I WILL COME OUT OF ( Read more... )
