well, I'm in my final days in Gainesville and i'm a little sad. We've been trying all the restaurants we never went to before like maude's and the new deal cafe. i'm giving them both the so-so hand movement. i still want to try the tapas place, nero's and i'd like to get to satchels, the top, and the reggae shack one last time before i move on with ( Read more... )

so, what's new in emily's pop culture world, you ask? well. i can't get the song fergalicious out of my head. it is just so catchy. plus i think it sends a good message. more than one good message actually...

good message number one: "it is okay to flirt, but let's not be loose" while she may come off just a little bit conceited cauz she keeps on ( Read more... )

Why my Dad is so cool: So my parents came up the other day just to visit and buy me a class ring.

today was painful, plasma-wise. okay, so the past few times i went have been pretty good, not too much to tell. but today everytime a new cycle started i felt a sharp pain go up my arm that was wince-inducing. i was on a tight schedule so i didn't want to cause a ruckus by complaining and hold up the process so i just waited out the discomfort. but ( Read more... )

hmm...i'm bored at work as usual. let's see, if i had updated earlier in the week i could have written that me and plasma-donating jive together like clinton and sin. however, since i'm writing today i'll have to say that we're still not a match made in heaven ( Read more... )

so...donating plasma: not as easy as it sounds. Kristin and I went in last wednesday and we were both tested to see if we were fit to donate. It turns out Kristin has 'weak veins' which are fine for donating blood, but not plasma. See, after they extract the plasma they pump your blood back in and if your veins are weak then they'll collapse which ( Read more... )

It occurs to me as I sit here in the Reitz Union, listening to the fireworks show that is currently going off on Flavet Field, that although they are awe-inspiring when you get to see them, fireworks can be scary and a little irritating if you're stuck inside at work.
