Ah, spring. And this year it brings the whirlwind of April. Between a heavier workload at the beer store, final exams (wrote one Wednesday, another tomorrow, and last one a week from tomorrow), and the arrival from South Korea of my long lost friend, things have been very busy. So busy in fact that I can't think of anything to say. Other than " ( Read more... )

And on a brighter note: I got my new tattoos last night! Three all together, which brings my total to, well, four. I'm pretty happy with them, although they aren't going to look right for a bit yet, and they are irritating as heck right now. But no worse than when you fall down and scrape yourself. Only instead of getting a big ugly scab, followed ( Read more... )

Woke up this morning, thinking about a conversation I had with a student yesterday. Most all of her family are holocaust survivors, and she was describing to me why some of them occasionally seem a bit emotionally "messed up" - the uncle that let his brother volunteer for a work gang (cuz he was sick), only to find out later that he just let his ( Read more... )

...Which makes this a rough moment for me, since I just woke up for the second time today. I guess I really needed it, or I wouldn't have fallen asleep for two hours after already sleeping for almost 8 last night. It does come at a bit of a crappy time, what with how I would like to be done my sociology essay with enough time to do a little ( Read more... )

I got my final anthropology paper back yesterday. Got 93.5%, and that was after having marks docked for handing it in two days late.

There, now I can end my posts for today on a happy note.

Well HC got home, and I opened the letter, and...rejected. They were "unable to offer you admission to the Osgoode Hall Law School." Nothing about why, but I know it was the interview. I guess I had put too much hope on them being open to alternative attitudes. But I had forgotten that they are the gatekeepers to the institution that, more than any ( Read more... )

Okay, so I just got back from school. I always check the mail on my way up to the apartment, and there is a letter from Osgoode Hall Law School, marked "CONFIDENTIAL - To be opened by addressee only ( Read more... )

I am having the toughest time with not taking things into my own hands and "operating" on my own foot. Darn thing is starting to really piss me off. And I come from a family that was very comfortable with triage, so the idea doesn't really strike me as so strange. Thank god I live with someone who can talk me out of such things. Where would we be ( Read more... )

I've convinced myself that there is something in my foot. And by something I mean something foreign to a body, and not say bones and cartilage and whatnot. I've had this sore spot for a while now, like months even. I just sort of figured it was because working at the beer store (walking a lot wearing hard soled boots) had aggravated an ouchy that I ( Read more... )

I was going to type up a post about why I had decided to stop smoking pot, but earlier today I had a paragraph (one of my usual marathon paragraphs) about it in an email to a friend, so I thought I would just past it in here. So, here it is ( Read more... )
