Internet Vacation lasted a total of 4 days before I failed and couldn't get back on track. Oh well. At least I did the 4 days. It was well worth it, as I got a lot done during that time that I wouldn't have accomplished had I had the tempting mindless distraction of the interwebz ( Read more... )

 First of all, I would like to thank all you Boston-area folk who helped me out with getting this FWT worked out and preparing for it and such.  I definitely would not have been able to do this if it were not for you guys, you rock.  You've gone out of your way enough for me as it is, and so I hate to bother y'all about this again, but I'm not ( Read more... )

First off, I would like to send a great big "THANK YOU" out to Sasha, Neva, and Grady...for being totally awesome friends and posting such kind and thoughtful comments on my last entry. Not to mention having the patience and devotion simply to read an LJ entry that was 10 pages long in MS Word. You guys rock.

And now, for the original purpose of ( Read more... )

 My paid account expired again.  =(  I don't really feel like paying for another year or even another month, because I found myself not using most of the features and it wouldn't really be worth it for me.  They let me keep my awesome layout and custom emoticon set, and I never do voiceposts anymore, and I've never ever done polls, so yeah.  I just ( Read more... )

Changes need to happen.  This time, for real ( Read more... )

So, random unrelated stuff...

On Friday I babysat for the first time.  Chase (4) and Faith (6) came over my house.  Fun was had by all.  They can't swim, but it was a hot day so we decided to fill up a large bucket with water, and we all took turns sticking our heads in it.  We also played "find the kitties" (cuz both of the felines of the house ( Read more... )

I discovered this afternoon that there is a wireless network called Andrea that can only be accessed from my backyard, not anywhere inside the house or the front yard. Andrea, what are you doing in my backyard? Well thank you Andrea for allowing me to have (relatively) speedy internet access while outdoors and enjoying the beautiful weather. I am ( Read more... )

OK, I admit it, there are things about Drew I really miss.  The big one is routine/predictability/stability, particularly socially.  But I have come to realize and accept that there is no such thing as a perfect school.  No matter where I go there will be things that I love, and things that really bother me.  I should have expected that in ( Read more... )

Things are so strange here socially.  The groups are really small, and they change so often.  I'm confused, I don't even know who is friends with who anymore.  It's all different now than it was 2 weeks ago, and 2 weeks ago it was different than it was a month ago.  I know I shouldn't, I should be more mature than this, but I miss that high school ( Read more... )

I had my first plan meeting today, and it wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be. My plan committee is awesome. There's Mary Lum (a visual arts professor, and my current advisor), Jenny Rohn (a theater professor who apparantly has done quite a bit of work with children/doing productions for children), and David Anderegg (a psychology ( Read more... )
