Suicide is a weird topic.  Death, in generally, is always somewhat uncomfortable, but suicide carries a different weight than that of injury, disease, and old age.  Its a double edged sword in that it is both exponentially more tragic--imagine feeling such emotional desolation and turmoil that stepping off Cascadilla bridge into the gorge in the ( Read more... )

I'm so burned out--2 prelims I've barely studied for in the next two days, and the thing is, I don't even care enough to be worried.

This week has been just generally odd and exhausting--but not bad.  I hunter paced Calvin yesterday, on a team with Sam and Anna and it was awesome. He was fantastic and really good (ok, overlooking his occasional ( Read more... )

I am a sketchy character.  We are having a house party on Friday and I just resolved a...complication...involving invites in a super sketchy way.  Here is the gist of the situation: 
    Last year, Foody had a rather complicated breakup with his girlfriend.  Normally, this would be a rather expected thing (read: transition from high school to ( Read more... )

Life is inexplicably good recently.  Even though I have a ton of unfinished work (Hello 3am, I've missed you!) and should by all means be ridiculously moody and hormonal.  PMS struck oddly this week, giving me a double dose of happy-go-lucky to counter-act Allie's uber bitch phase.  Also, the weather has been extremely unpredictable, which for some ( Read more... )

I feel like I've finally reached a point in my life where I realize that the person I've always envisioned myself as/wanted to become has become, well, incompatible with who I really am. I mean, I'd love to be granola and spiritual and a self-sufficient independent...but honestly? I'm a somewhat preppy, slightly conservative, down-to-earth kinda ( Read more... )

I'm so glad to be home again!  And, yes, this feels like home.  Which is confusing, since, as far as naming is concerned, Bainbridge is still home.  But its nice to be back, especially now that all the Cornell kids are back, even if they are exceptionally out of control.  Last night I drank vodka tonics with Andrew and played Rock Band and Jiggy's ( Read more... )

I just got to spend all week lounging around at home with friends and TOK(!) and wandering Seattle (yes, NYC is amazing, but Seattle is such a Kate city, if you know what I mean).  And now my sunburn is fading (sadly peeling as well, but you can't have everything) and my cold is...less bad, if not gone.  I'm spending my weekend in ( Read more... )

"Its like in the Christian religion, John the Baptist prepared the earth for the coming of Christ" --my genetics prof describing the function of TAFs in transcription from the TATA binding site.

My sis is visiting....fun fun fun times.  I go home this Friday. YES!  I can't wait to see everyone!  And the Island...ahh, toast.  Also, this stupid TV show obsession is NOT fading.  Problem. Meh.

I had a horse show all last week in Elmira.  Technically, it was successul--Calvin and I ended the week as Champions in the Adult Amateur jumpers and ( Read more... )
