October is going to absolutely crazy. I have about two weeks to get all of my grad school applications done or almost done, because I will have zero time to work on them after fall break. I’ve also got to quickly come up with a costume for Halloween. Max, Dan, Natalie and I are going to be Buffy themed. Max will be Xander, Dan will ( Read more... )

                I stole my sister this weekend. She stayed longer than she’s ever stayed before, a total of four days and three nights. It may not sound that long but it felt pretty awesome being able to have family in town so long. Dad and Janey came into town Thursday night. Dad left on Friday after Max grilled for all of us and I made desert (my ( Read more... )

I should be working on my presentation on “Bottled Water and the Treadmill of Production” for my sociology class, seeing as I volunteered to go first today. Out of the eight people in our class, I think four people chose to present on bottled water. Going first should give me an edge? Maybe? Technically I should have points written down on note ( Read more... )

              I’ve had a crazy week. For my own health, I plan on returning to the safety of my old lady habits this weekend. I will spend a quiet weekend with my family, go to sleep before 10:00, and complain about my sister’s rock music and her skate boarding (even though she doesn’t even own a skate board).

Monday I felt funny ( Read more... )

                I’m trying to think of ways to quickly sum up what has happened over break thus far. I spent the first half of it solely with my family. Janey and I went to see Princess and the Frog, which was great and made us happy to be Cajun (note: the fact there was Tabasco on every table is entirely accurate).  My parents, as always, managed ( Read more... )

I managed to catch the closest thing to the flu without actually having the flu from Daniel’s new girlfriend (no hard feelings towards her, she seems pretty nice). I then passed that cold onto Max, and Max passed it on to his entire family. Aside from that, Thanksgiving went swimmingly.

It looks like I will be ( Read more... )

                Fall Break ended too soon, but I’m sure that statement is made over and over again by just about everyone who is returning to school. It was the first time I got to go home in over two months. The last time I went home was around July, I think. I mean, I saw them at my Aunt’s Wedding, and when my sister came up to visit me, and when ( Read more... )

Max and I arrived at my Aunt’s house last Friday afternoon. Her wedding was the next day, and I had been drafted as the wedding photographer. This ended up translating to “That girl at the wedding whose mother chased her around and kept trying to correct her photography technique.” It was not pleasant, nor was dealing with my cousin’s exceptionally ( Read more... )
