Home is boring. That's the way it's supposed to be I guess. I live in this little cow town, within driving distance to Boston, yes, but it's a haul and I need a damn good reason to go there considering all the travel involved. I'm not really close with many of my friends from high school still, and those who I do talk to still aren't in town. My ( Read more... )

!!!!!!!!! I FINALLY HAD A GARBAGE PLATE !!!!!!!!!

I have lived in Rochester for over a DECADE, and it was only now, today, my last day of college EVER, that I have partaken in the glories of the plate that is, garbage. My gastro-intestinal system might be regretting it, but my heart and head are NOT!!

And, oh yeah, nearly as importantly...

When I came here as a prospective student, during accepted students weekend the spring of my senior year of HS, the Dean of the College, Paul Burgett, gave us "The Fiery Furnace" speech. It was all about the challenges one faces in college, and how you should test yourself: personally, the bounds of your knowledge, the reaches of your abilities, ( Read more... )

Do not go to drag clubs with cutie 19 year old boys if you in any way shape or form feel the least bit responsible for them. The men there will try to rape them. And bring them home.

On Friday night Anthony and I went out to dinner at Edibles, which is this fancy restaurant attached to Starry Nights. I wondered why I hadn't ever been there before. It was a little pricey, but I had my trusty entertainment coupon book. score! Anthony and ( Read more... )

Tuesday, April 26th, I drove 600 miles in one day. To Pittsburgh and back. My day went from 6am till 2am. Long, but totally worth it. A play-by-play:

7:30am: Hit the road

12-3pm: look at about six apartments
3pm: Decide I've found enough I like, call up my new Pittsburgh friend Matthew (thank god for myspace to ( Read more... )

Foiled again!!

I planned on going down to Pittsburgh this Saturday to scope out the city, meet the postdoc I'd be working with, and importantly, look at apartments and nail one down for the summer. I am going with my friend Vicki who went to CMU for undergrad so I wouldnt be hopelessly lost. After I spent hours today making arrangements to look at ( Read more... )

I have gotten in the habit of getting drunk midday. I blame admissions and their fancy wine and cheese parties that I 'work' at, and their free beer happy hours. Also, Alex. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse: hanging out in the basement level of the library at 11am after our class, taking swigs of whiskey straight from the bottle, intellectual ( Read more... )

Good weekend. Here's the lowdown.
Friday: Movie night with BCSers. freaked out because I forgot it was Lent, mental check of day's food consumption proved I had played by the rules afterall. Then to Lux with Julia and Kevin. Drinking, smoking, bitching about annoying people, and various other sins. Other admissions employees were there, one bought ( Read more... )
