Today has been mostly useless. I've been sitting on Kate's couch eating takeout, drinking K-cup coffee and watching a Grey's Anatomy marathon since about three. Yes, the medical drama. With people having romantic entanglements and dark secrets and deep ethical dilemmas. I feel like such a girl watching it but it's ridiculously addictive and with ( Read more... )

Seiber: I have your essay.
Seiber: It has a special grade.
Kate: yeah? I must have not done terrible, because my grade was ok
Seiber: The grade is coffee.
Kate: erm, what?
[Seiber: He spilled coffee all over our papers.
Seiber: Yours says "Coffee Disaster ! Bad day!" at the top.
Kate: oh jeez

I haven't had the chance to sit down, relax and actually write an LJ entry in a very long time. Things have been..tumultuous. The word 'thesis' is still causing a Pavlovian panic response, although I like to think I'm doing a better job of repressing it than I was.

Firstly, to correct any misconceptions, I am not permanently in Chicago. I'm visiting Chicago to check out the program's open house and give the city a trial run before I start moving all my shit up here. If nothing else my parents need me at home for a few months ( Read more... )

I am awesome. I am more awesome than you.

I don't care what you were doing Tuesday night, I was in Asheville listening to and getting hugged by and sharing a sundae at IHOP with Philip Zimbardo, quite possibly the most renowned psychologist currently living. There is nothing more awesome than this.

Well, this has been interesting. I'm helping out the local Jewish Day School with this contest US Cellular has been running. It involves inputting a giant load of names, birthdates, and addresses into US Cellular's site along with a code number and while it's something of a good cause it's still mindnumbingly boring work. On the other hand the ( Read more... )

When I left Cambridge the city was practically begging me to stay. I got nice warm weather, a wonderful sendoff in the form of a fair with fireworks shot off right as we got to the top of the Big Wheel, and then I missed my plane because the bus got stuck in traffic ( Read more... )

So.

I'm done with college. Completely. Insert Furmanism here. My graduate school applications are in, I'm back at my parents' house, my final exams are taken and my final grades reported to the school. I put on my robe and wizard scholar hat on Saturday and walk across the stage. There's a bit of transition going on in the shape of me moving ( Read more... )
