Today is my first day of school. I am a little bit nervous. I had been really excited, but now i have gotten to the nervous stage. my senior seminar is going to be in this tiny room...basically in the attic of the oldest building on campus. i am sort of excited about this fact. hehe. The downside is that my next class is in a different part of ( Read more... )

This post is sort of scattered because i sat down to write different parts of it at different times. Sorry.

Yay. Midterms are over. They went okay...neither of the prompts were all that great.

For 19th Century US Lit, my prompt was:

"Construct an essay about the popularity of early nineteenth-century US texts. Use the works we've studied by the ( Read more... )

Ugh. I am so tired. I want to fall asleep on the table here in the library. I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night. I was up at 5am this morning working on my article. It didn't turn out as well as I wanted it to. The response was okay. I think that i will really change direction when I do the revision, though ( Read more... )

I am glad to be back in Bellingham at my apartment and soo glad to have my car back. I really missed being able to just drive somewhere when I wanted to. I slept in really late today (until almost 2pm). After being up for over 36 hours and spending 14 hours on a train, I really needed to sleep ( Read more... )

I have a lot of manic energy today. I haven't been sleeping well, and I have been trying to deal with that by drinking tons of cofffee. It is bad, and I spend way too much money on various coffee drinks when i am on campus. I have been really chatty in all of my classes and adding all of these things to discussion (this is good...just very unlike ( Read more... )

The snow is finally melting here!! Isn't that wonderful?? Thursdays are my normal day off. I walked down to Fairhaven. The trip was sort of scary; the trip back was the scariest part. everything had pretty much turned to ice. I really need boots or some different shoe for walking in. I had a really yummy lunch at Skylarks. they have really good ( Read more... )

I decided not to drive home this weekend. I am sort of broke, and i was afraid that it would snow. The idea of driving in the snow terrifies me all of a sudden. I dont understand why.

This week went by really fast. I emailed the principal and librarian at the school where Ordinary People was banned to see if they could give me more information on ( Read more... )

It is crazy windy here in Bellingham today. The wind is blowing the rain against the windows. I absolutely love that sound. There are leaves blowing everywhere. It is sort of cold and wet, but there is this wonderful, beautiful quality to everything ( Read more... )

This week is going fairly well. Monday made me feel better about all of my classes. I spoke up more in my writing about lit class even though that is really hard for me. I think that I made some really good comments about the poetry that we read. The really loud conservative girl was gone yesterday which made things a lot nicer ( Read more... )

I love love love my linguistics class. It is really exciting and a great group of students, most are English majors. The professor is really exciting and passionate about the subject. Most of the students make really intelligent comments. I enjoyed it so much. The class goes by so fast ( Read more... )
