This is one of those nights when I should be sleeping. So logically, I'm not. Who could? It's my last night at MIT until next fall. At 8:00 am tomorrow morning, my dad is going to show up to pack my things into the car and drive me home. It's crazy, really, the end of a semester, and there's so much to think about. Plus, it's really hot and humid. ( Read more... )

I'm in New Jersey right now. Sitting on the balcony outside my room at the Days Inn because the wireless only works out here. The past few days have been.... interesting, mainly in good ways. (note my last post). Maybe I'll elaborate on that eventually. Or maybe not ( Read more... )

It is amazingly wonderful to just be able to sit and do nothing. Most everyone has moved out, so it's rather quiet around the dorm.

And proved Kathy Davis wrong.

Yes.

I have yet to declare a major. My advisor told me that I don't really have to choose now, just get back to her before i leave for the summer ( Read more... )

Anyhow, it's april. Snow shouldn't occur. Besides, it makes crew practice really, REALLY cold.

Now that we're back on the water, I am reminded of how glad I am to be doing crew. It really is a lot of fun. And the problem really isn't the time commitment of practice itself. I feel like I ( Read more... )

Break was good. I was here for crew. 2-a-day practices, whee! But other than that, I got to do lots of sleeping, which was excellent, and watch lots of Arrested Development, which was hilarious and excellent! So it was good. And I even managed to make weight.

But break was most definitely too short, and now I have to pull myself back into a school ( Read more... )

I need to lose 4 pounds by Thursday. "Completely doable," says my coach. It's gonna be a fun week ( Read more... )
