THESIS IS FINISHED!!!!

(ps this explains my absence from the internet all semester. oooops.)

I've got a couple of hours to kill in BWI before I hop on the plane that will take me home for break. And there is free WiFi for the holidays! How about a quick update? I mean, since it's been, like, three months, and all.

( Cut for Recap Babble )

For someone who only got over on Dreamwidth as a backup, I am having a shitload of fun playing with my journal colors. I am scared of ever ever changing my LJ layout because what if I like it less than the current one? but now I have a shiny new journal to mess with (and there are only, like, three layout choices so I can't get too flustered ( Read more... )

I need to regroup and figure out which country I'm actually in right now, for serious. It's been sort of a crazy two-and-a-half weeks; I just got back into Bologna late Sunday night. Since I am at my internship with nothing to do (both the cases I was helping on before I left are at paused points) I have time to write stuff up. Without further ( Read more... )

So I really don't like Milan. It's too industrial, too big-city-like, too confusing. But the fashion district is fun, if closed on Sundays, and the Duomo is definitely something to see. Holy hell.

We also learned to make sangria and paella, in the company of some semi-drunken Australian guys. I plan to do a full write-up this weekend (we'll see how that goes), but I would ( Read more... )

Dude, I had to call in sunburnt to work today, if that gives you an indication of how Aidan and Cynthia's Excellent Adventure (Part II!) went. Oww. Whatever. It was still awesome.

So now, I give you ( Did you ever wonder if we might be Really Really Warped Tour, or, Did I mention I have a photo with Bill Beckett now? )

I'm home! With minimal mishaps, and all my luggage! Now, I get to ... unpack ... and find a job ... and start my internship on Monday ... ewww.

But I do get to see Madeline tomorrow, and maybe a Little Brother Coffee Date, so, you know, things balance out.

Clarinet Jury: DONE, as of yesterday, and I never want to play anything in 5/8 again ( Read more... )

Well, here we are again. Back in the dorm. Back in Carlisle. Back in the COLD HOLY CRAP, BATMAN. AAAAAAUUUGGHHH. Took two planes, a shuttle, driving myself around Pittsburgh (which I swore I would never do), a bus, and another shuttle (along with two hours in a sketchy bus station). And then, you know, a WalMart run for food and shampoo and ( Read more... )
