Well, I've been remiss in writing recently. I think part of it is that I've been a bit down for a few....weeks? Months? and haven't felt like doing anything except hitting snooze and ignoring responsibility. That might be too painfully honest. At any rate, this weekend when I should have been working on my paper for the Bow Tie or reading ( Read more... )

here is one example of my life, writ small ( Read more... )

Well, I think you guys all know I've had a rough time in my Thucydides class, and by rough I mean tearful breakdowns, constant sweaty palms, invoking God to bring about the rapture ASAP, etc. Anyway, to recap, it all came to a head when I had the second tearful dissolution and my teacher (the Drill Sargent, I think is a fitting name) said I didn't ( Read more... )

1. House, PhD moment of the day: Firstly, one of my classmates came in and imitated him setting up the room which made me laugh and I was still laughing when he entered the room. He announces that he has gotten our class changed to an upper level class and we all need to make sure we get switched into the right class for credit. Someone asks if ( Read more... )

I love Greek. And I realized as I was driving home from my women's group mentally writing a blog entry that the reason I was able to update so much this summer, while I was under such a time crunch was mainly because I needed breaks, and I didn't have time to review in my head, I just had time to get it out. Now I have some down moments, and LJ is ( Read more... )
