Holy Judas it's been a long time since I updated.  So we're going to go with the standard list-thing until I get back up to speed.

Here goes:

• Chicago rocks.
• Join the Impact Chicago rocks.
• Cleve FUCKING Jones.  Brunch.  Me.  Whoa.
• Film students.
• School started.

After a long drive, a very emotional night, and a day of fun around the city, I am feeling more at peace with everything.  Without going too in-depth I've had some reservations about moving up here but, ultimately, I think it'll be a good move.  There are good people up here and even if I've had some issues with them and don't feel as close to them ( Read more... )

This looks really good.  Any Chicagoans want to see this with me when it opens?

So I got a place in Chicago.  Signed the lease and I'll be moving up June 1st.  The place is on 6341 Magnolia (off the Granville stop on the Red Line).  It's a cute, studio with a separate kitchen (which is really nice).  I'm excited to go up to Chicago but, honestly, I' ( Read more... )

Man has this been an interesting month.  I'm going to be moving up to Chicago June 1st (or something close to that), and the living arrangement I had been hoping on for quite some time has fallen through.  I'm frustrated but at peace about it (if you can, in fact, be both things at the same time).  The good news is that I've put in my application ( Read more... )

A basic summary:

• Parkland college was closed today due to a bomb threat, apparently.  Awesome... not like I needed to study today...
• Golden Compass is out.  Fuck yeah.
• Rachel and I found the cutest little house on Prarie Street and we think we're going to get it.  It's a house, yo!
• I can now cook chicken and beef from a raw state.  Go me.
• I got the yarn ( Read more... )

So apparently Parkland College either had a fire drill or a fire alarm go off or there was an actual fire that died down or who knows what? Regardless Angels in America was interrupted by a surprisingly quiet trill. We had to stand outside in the cold (I chose an excellent day to forget my sleeping bag coat at home) for about twenty minutes... ( Read more... )

So I'm not doing so hot in Spanish.  It's not because I'm not understanding the language or anything, it's that I missed a few classes because of medical shit.  And, now, I basically have no time to do studying on my own and catch up on it all...

...fuck!

I'm doing well in my other classes and I'd like to qualify Phi Theta Kappa so that I can put ( Read more... )

So I had a bad migraine last night.  It got better later into the night, but for about an hour and a half there I was absolutley miserable.  I had to call in sick to my rehearsal last night and my director was none too happy about that (uhm... do you really want me on stage, vomiting?).  Kind of frustrating... I've been really good about being at ( Read more... )

So I worked eight hours yesterday and left with a triple-shot espresso beverage in my hands, prepared to get some serious work done.

I started writing my paper and then quickly realized that I needed to write an outline. I wrote my outline, took a rather long television break, had something to eat, laid in bed for a little while, then got through ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been on the verge of having a panic attack all day long. Like I'll be walking along or doing something in class perfectly normally and then I'll have a quick pange of panic and concern that goes away after a little while. It's not fun... and it's not okay ( Read more... )
