Today there was a blizzard, and I liked that very much.  In fact, the best thing about today was walking to dinner from my dorm.  I didn't have very good shoes on.  Any attempt at shoveling a sidewalk was foiled by the wind drifting the snow right back to where it had been originally, so I had to tread through inches of snow in my weak little ( Read more... )

Hello, I have been gone for awhile.  Like others, I am coming back.

This semester has been insane, but that is becoming the norm.  It does not feel insane.  Going to Business Services does not feel like my job.  Throwing together newspaper articles at the last minute is not so stressful anymore.  I am not nervous or self-conscious when I proofread ( Read more... )

Traditional beginning of the semester analysis:

* Beginning with the most worthless and gradually progressing in a upward trend *

Fitness & Wellness - Yes, this class is truly worthless.  The prof is really nice, but he uses words like "learnings" and he is our "facilitator" rather than "teacher."  We also have to form "focus groups."  We also have ( Read more... )

The second half of this break has not disappointed. I've seen Ena and had meals TWICE with the Mackenzie family. I went to a mansion owned by Hare Krishna's with Dan. I hit Applebee's with Chris. I've been out with Ashley and Nicole for some tuff times once or twice, including a grand stir-fry feast at 10'clock pm. I went to a Duffy show. I ( Read more... )

Hi. I hope you had a nice Christmas. Mine was very happy. My family came over and it was fun. We ate dinner in the kitchen and it was cramped and hot, but jovial none-the-less. And the food was good. Afterwards we played catch-phrase, which I had never played before, but enjoyed very much. Then we took a family picture. It was funny ( Read more... )

I love being home. Here's why ( Read more... )

Well hi! Last night Shawn, Josh, Abbey, and I went downtown to see "Danielson: a Famile movie (or, Make a Joyful Noise HERE)." It was wonderful. I recommend it. Afterwards we came back to school and Brad gave me an extended hug (I'd say it lasted for at least fifteen seconds). He's such a good hugger. I'm going to miss him terribly next ( Read more... )

Hey. This semester is pretty much DONE. Turning in my lit theory paper on Friday was heaven. I've been bogged down with papers nonstop since mid-semester and now I'm DONE. All I did yesterday was knit and go to Brad's Christmas party. That's right, I didn't set foot in the library. Finals should be simple, I think. You can take them one at a ( Read more... )

This entry is for my mother, who is probably the only one who reads these things ( Read more... )

I've never been this busy in my entire life, and I think I'm handling it pretty well. I'm about to take on a third on-campus job, believe it or not. I'll be pulling 18 hours a week at business services, five for the Spectator (although it's more like 10-13 every other week), and now six hours a week in the writing center. I hear nobody ever goes ( Read more... )
