So Doug, his lady and I took in some badminton this afternoon at Boulevard Park. This was my first visit to a park as an official B-Ham resident, due to the nice weather. I suppose badminton is not the correct term, as there is no actual net. We just hit the birdie back and forth to each other, so perhaps "shuttlecocking" is a better term for our ( Read more... )

Part of the requirement for my classes this quarter is to watch 11 hours of clinical sessions. We watch them on video tapes in high school style chair-desks. I'm watching these women (90% women in my field) interact with the kids and their clipboards. They tell the kid to jump, and then they jump. They hand the kid a fire truck and say "What's that ( Read more... )

Do you know the best part about living above a bar? There's always a subdued bass line going from about 3pm 'til 2am, and as the night goes on, you hear the occasional "whoo" or "ow!" (The good one, not the "oh shit that hurts!" one.) The sound is not obnoxious, nor is it particularly invasive, but should you decide to stay home on a Friday night, ( Read more... )

so were at our london hostel and the living conditions are as expected. had our first pub crawl last night but have yet to meet anyone terribly interesting. our roommates don't speak much english and i'm already wondering how well we'll handle france. Off to book our scotland flight. i'm posting on my DS.

Lis and I were able to see Ben Gibbard last night at The Showbox. Absolutely epic. He did both acoustic guitar and piano songs, and it turned out really well. A suprise encore featuring Jenny Lewis was awesome. I'm not sure how I feel about the "controversial" cover of "All Apologies", but I guess it was cool.

I'm lucky I get to sleep in today.

So I've officially been accepted to Western's Communication Sciences and Disorders Post-Bac program. I'll spend one more year as an undergrad getting a 2nd bachelor's, and then (hopefully) 2 years in their master's program to eventually become a speech language pathologist ( Read more... )

Yesterday was dollar beer night @ the Rainiers game w/ Brian & Rachel. We had fun, though I'm not sure anyone actually watched the game (I'm pretty sure we won). As the name might have implied, it was Pierce/South King County-core, complete with a ride in the back of a flatbed truck after the game.

I'm pretty sure we're booking our tickets to London ( Read more... )

It's been six months since I've updated my journal. Probably part of the reason I don't write in it is that since graduation, I'm overwhelmed with a feeling of "sameness". I don't deal with the ups and downs that I used to, it's all mostly status quo. Don't think I'm complaining though! It's been a good year for me thus far. here's a quick recap of ( Read more... )

Back from Los Angeles. I've unfortunately been hit with a bit of a cold since I've been back. While I was on The Pirates of the Carribean, a "cannon" shot a drop of the water into my mouth. Currently this is my top theory for what caused my virus, but I'm getting ahead of myself ( Read more... )
