Sometimes I'm really dumb. I spent at least 30 min in the wee hours of the morning being sick from eating too much dairy, my stomach's felt bad on and off today, and what did I just do? Ate ice cream, that's what. Seriously, Claire ( Read more... )

My meeting with my advisor went better than I could've possibly imagined, so thank you, God, for that! I got lots of compliments and positive feedback and encouragement and YAY that is absolutely what I needed because I have been feeling very subpar and incapable and ignorant lately. The project for this week is to write the Sweden case study, then ( Read more... )

Last night I had a very vivid dream that I was eating a chocolate chip cookie. As I was eating it, I remembered I'd sworn off chocolate. I was very disappointed in myself (but boy did the chocolate taste good!). Nice to know that my subconscious is trying to figure out how to deal with the truly pressing problems in my life ( Read more... )

Oh. My. Heavens. There are videos of David Tennant reading children's books as bedtime stories on youtube! How did I not know this before? And he does different voices for all the characters, too! It really, really bothers me when people read children's books and don't do the voices or screw up the inflections. I'm very relieved he read it so well ( Read more... )

Not to toot my own horn or anything (ha, who am I kidding, whenever you say that phrase you're really very much intending to toot your own horn, aren't you?

Today I put in summer squash, onions, mushrooms, spinach, basil ( Read more... )

I don't know why I always get so worked up about teaching. It's always the highlight of my week! I wasn't at all certain about having three sections to deal with instead of just one, but really, three times the fun-- why was I nervous? Of course at this point I've had only two of my three sections, and apparently there's always one that's a little ( Read more... )

I went to see Harry Potter this afternoon.

Mom and I decided today that I'm probably lactose intolerant. Would anyone like to guess what I had for lunch? Yes, that's right, yogurt and ice cream. And then my Spanish teacher brought cheese to class, because we read an article on Manchego cheese. (It was really yummy, btw.) So now I feel crummy ( Read more... )

Note to self: honestly, stop eating things you're allergic to. That's why you get stomachaches. (no, really?) Act intelligently and buy jellybeans or caramel if you have to have something sweet.

I am SO excited about the B-sides and Rarities CD. I can't wait. Rarities is an odd word to spell, I think; that i instead of e (rare-ities?) gives me ( Read more... )
