So I've been spending the majority of today procrastinating. I've watched movies, written emails, read various blogs, even started planning my classes for my final semester of college. Time moved so slowly all day. Then, after been lovingly yelled at by my flatmate, I buckled down and started working on my Watson application. And there ya go, I ( Read more... )

I know I've been absent from the lj community for awhile, but I've been reading my friends page voraciously in an attempt to keep tabs on all the people that I love but cannot be with. It's been... months since I've updated and I won't try to fill this entry with tons of excuses and summaries of what I've been doing. I've been busy, following my ( Read more... )

I'm at about the midway point in my research here in Santiago and I don't know whether or not to be nervous, scared, excited, or frustrated. I guess I'm a combination of all four because I really had no idea what to expect when I got myself into this shindig. I spend upwards of 6 hours a day in the library reading microfiche and the rest of my time ( Read more... )

It actually feels like I never even left. The airport, the bus, walking around downtown, even moving into my own apartment (which I've never done, in Santiago or anywhere else for that matter) just felt - right. Maybe this is a good sign, that maybe there is something waiting for me out in the real world. I'm trying to take some very wise words of ( Read more... )

So I've been back for a couple of days and it feels like forever and no time at all at the same time. I'm leaving for Chile on Tuesday (another thing that I have crazy mixed feelings about) and I haven't even unpacked from Claremont yet. I've hardly seen enough of the people that I love so much, which is driving me crazy and contributing to my ( Read more... )

What the hell is wrong with me?

Now listening to some fab music, I'm updating, another attempt at procrastination (a very successful one at that, I must say). I've just been thinking about how all things come to an end, and how when one door closes another opens, and all those panacea-like phrases that seems applicable and oh-so inspirational all the time. It got me thinking ( Read more... )

Okay lj friends and community, here's a challenge. My boyfriend just gave me a $15 giftcard to iTunes 'cause he didn't want it and I have no idea what to buy. My school has a network so I can download most popular music for free **cough illegally cough** so I don't want to spend money on something not worth it. But I have a hard time thinking of ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the last day of classes. I handed in the 20 page paper on the "illegal" Mexican immigrant identity. I pretty much gave up on the topic, because I really could've gone on forever. And now, what? A couple of sunny days in San Diego rocking out to senior week, a bullshit Spanish paper that I really should start now, then packing, ( Read more... )

Dance owns my life. In the studio/theatre, 2 to 4 hours a day. I'm not even hungry anymore (save the fact that I can't stop devouring vegan chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and naked juices). My blisters have blisters. My boyfriend doesn't have time to sleep with me, which does not help in the fact that I sometimes I forget he's my boyfriend. I can't ( Read more... )
