Well, classes oficially started yesterday and so far I can't complain. Turns out I remember a lot more French than I thought I did, Torie from Texas who sits behind me asked me for helping on how to congugate (I know I spelled that wrong) the verb avoir Communications was boring, hopefully that'll get better. I met girl named Lauren F in there, ( Read more... )

So here I am in my dorm at Manhattanville College. I'm all unpacked and organized thanks to a massive effort by my family and I which took almost all afternoon yesterday. Mom did a fabulous job decorating the room, but then, could you expect anything less from Martha Stewart? Last night, had dinner and then went to Voices in the Dark, a series of ( Read more... )

Rent refuses to leave me even after a week. Especially "Seasons of Love" which I guess is an apropriate song for this time period in everyone's lives. Sorry for the extreme lack of recappage over the past few days. Here's where I make up for it ( Read more... )

Kate S, one of the HT ( Read more... )

Megan called this afternoon. She got the late birthday present I sent her: The Puzzlemaster Presents, a book of crosswords featured on NPR, and Here Is New York by E.B. White. She liked them. Then I made some calls to the housing guy and the woman who runs the office for Students with Disabilities at MVille and left them messages. Then I visited ( Read more... )

Went up to MVille today with Mom, Auntie Gina, Matthew, and both dogs. (We brought Franny because we thought she would be lonely at home with no one to watch her and she might enjoy it up there getting to go on adventures like Jazzy.) We picked Matthew up at his track meet and had a picnic lunch sitting on a stone wall near a school before going to ( Read more... )

Well let's see, yesterday I had two Masses for the Pope, the school one and the one at St. Agnes. We were out on the field for the first three periods of the day for the school one. (Music Ministry had to go out there first period so we could set up and practice a bit) The Mass went very well, despite the sound problems and one mistake during "We ( Read more... )
