“Summer was on the way; Jem and I awaited it with impatience. Summer was our best season; it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the tree house; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape.”
-Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird

"There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up ( Read more... )

So much for updating this more often. I've fallen into the void of school work that I'd been successfully avoiding until this semester. Turns out taking six classes wasn't such a great idea in the end. Who knew? It's leaving me no time for anything besides reading. I've been trying to find time to call people that I haven't talked to in ages, and ( Read more... )

On my way to campus at 10am, I passed by three students who had set up a table outside and were selling coffee with Baileys to everyone walking to school. It was pretty much the best thing I've ever seen, who wouldn't wanna get smashed on their way to their 10 o'clock class on a Monday morning ( Read more... )

So my Christmas break has officially come to an end, as I'm leaving to go back to Lennoxville tomorrow.

The result of which means I am now heading back to school with a cold & cough, which really ( Read more... )

After an exhausting treck downtown to attempt to find some Boxing Day sales, here is a short list of pet peeves that came to me throughout the day ( Read more... )

It is SO GOOD to be home! I wish time would slow down a little more, as it is going by entirely too fast as it is - I've already been home for over a week, and have barely seen anyone outside of golf club people. I may also take a couple days off drinking, because after this past week my liver needs a bit of a break. Drank on Monday with Lauren, ( Read more... )

Biggest pet peeve about going to school in buttfuck-nowhere: getting stuck with a really late exam date and being one of the only people left in town. I want to go home so badly, I feel like I'm going insane in this apartment. I don't know why I didn't go home in between exams, this week of doing nothing has been a ridiculous waste of time. Though ( Read more... )

Slowly but surely, I am revamping my lj so that I can start using it again. I've even managed to make it look semi-pretty on my own, which is a first. I just need a place to store my thoughts, which is something I haven't had since I stopped using this thing. I've used journals practically my whole life, but since I stopped using this I kind of ( Read more... )

Can someone please make this stop hurting so much?
