My six month old nephew needs a heart transplant. My sister-in-law's best friend has started an unofficial foundation for Cabell called the "WeHeartCab" foundation to raise money for the family. Anyone interested in helping can go to www.paypal.com and click "send" money to email address: fudurich550@yahoo.com. You can donate whatever you like, ( Read more... )

Last weekend I went to Savannah. Saturday night Jeff and I met up with Hilary, Andrew, Hilary's mom, and her friend to eat at Mellow Mushroom. Afterward the younger crowd continued on to the Savannah fair. We bought individual tickets (rather than the unlimited bracelet) so that we could ride a couple of rides--the ferris wheel, of course, being ( Read more... )

Last night I was alone in my apartment sitting on the couch, talking to my mom. Then there was a knock at the door. I screamed and jumped, as is my custom when I hear any slightly startling sound. “This is an odd occurrence,” I said to myself, as I was not expecting anyone. I walked over to the door and looked out the peephole and told my mom ( Read more... )

Two years ago today I left for Scotland. That is crazy. Although those four months seemed like four years, I suppose it's a combination of the fact that the following 20 months seem a lot shorter than that and the fact that, despite everything else it was, studying abroad was a truly defining experience that makes it seem incredible that it's ( Read more... )

I got to break free of the torture that is the MAT program on Saturday. (I actually finished around 8:00 on Friday morning, following an all nighter, but I stayed around to shop and hang out and stuff.) Jeff came home with me for a few days too. That night we met up with a couple of his friends and ate Arby's in Dawsonville. We spent a lot of ( Read more... )

Today I realized that yes, I am supposed to be writing responses to all those chapters of my Teaching Exceptional Children textbook that I have not read. So I put some handouts I've gotten into my notebook and made a pretty cover for it to make myself feel better for now. That's about how school is going right now. I'm so over being in school.

School, observing, work, the homework I'm not doing, etc. is making me sad, so I won't talk about that ( Read more... )

My lip seriously hurts. It's even swollen. I've never bitten my lip quite this hard before.

On the bright side, it's octopedingenue's birthday! And today I had lunch with my mom at Turnstile Deli and had their yummy peach tea.

What the heck? Why not make this one public?

Happy Friday. I actually really need to do work this weekend, but first a quick update. Good news: I'm going to be able to work in the Writing Center and take the English elective I wanted to take. You see, since some idiots wanted to have class from 9:00-12:00 (which you're really not supposed to have class during community hour), I wasn't ( Read more... )

I can't bring myself to do homework, so I thought I'd make a quick update. Yesterday I took my first day trip to the great city of Gainesville to show Steve around before he ventures off to the great unknown areas of Texas, or something. It was quite fun. We left around 11:00 and met my mom for lunch at this very small Inn Between sandwich shop ( Read more... )
