REVEAL A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF:

NOW

Is your hair up?: No; I take it down when I close the door for the night.
Is your phone right beside you?: Nope; it's in the special phone pocket of my bag on the floor.
Do you have a bf/ gf?: No.  I could have, but I decided not to.
Do you wish you were somewhere else?: At a movie with other people, maybe, but ( Read more... )

I actually have been fairly productive recently, namely today, on getting a start on applying to internships, or at least on having a few options and a usable CV.  (Although I still need to write one in French so I can apply for that tutoring job.)  And I went to confirm some of my classes with Mme Schneersohn today, although I've decided to do ( Read more... )

So I'm back in the US.  I am jetlagged, but I'm trying to get to see people before I go to DC on Friday.  (My schedule is already fairly booked up, but I'm still free on Wed. morning and Thursday ( Read more... )

My mom's being here is making me realise how much more independent I've gotten while I'm here, which is a nice thing.  And we're still getting along well.  Although today some of the first criticisms started coming up... it's back to old times.  Except more sisterly ( Read more... )

Step 1: Put your mp3 player on random
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarassing.
