Hope you all ate enough turkey and mashed potatoes and pie to explode your innards, and then got up at 3-5 am to go shopping today. Because that's what I did ( Read more... )

I found out today that I don't have a day off between now and when I leave. Great, that's helpful. I'm so very screwed on packing ( Read more... )

The good news is that I don't have to get my wisdom teeth out yet. I do need a crown for two teeth, but I knew that. No cavities! It was the least painful dentist visit ever and my teeth feel all nice and clean! The built in retainer that has been half attached in my mouth for months is now re-attached. I asked him to take it out but he just suck ( Read more... )

The tentative plans that I had for living in the fall fell through. bummer. So I've spent the last few hours sending off rapid fire e-mails to people from craig's list as well as a housing finding site provided by my school. I think I've sent about 15, all the best prospects I could find tonight. A few sound promising, but we'll see what type of ( Read more... )

The only ( Read more... )

I went swimming down at the community pool today. It's ten feet deep so I got to practice my feet first surface dive in comparable deepness to what I'll be in on Wednesday. There were a bunch of people there that I was pretty sure I was going to have to rescue. They were trying to dive, but they would panic that they couldnt touch the ground. Oy ( Read more... )

Today I bought a mini-skirt. For a girl who hasn't worn shorts since...ever, that's a huge step. not only did I buy it but I think I look good in it. This just goes to prove that people can change you through association. Hang out with the boy who knows he is beautiful and tells you that you are, eventually it sinks in that you might not be ( Read more... )

I may be a huge dork...but I put in my mood at the bottom of the journal entry thing and my Planet Earth mood is this adorable little calf falling over in the snow. It made my day ( Read more... )
