I love this shirt.
History can be serious, though I find it fun. But academics seems to require a certain level of decorum...
I don't think Dakota has ever even heard the word decorum before.
I love Dakota.
Also, I seem to have a cold :( -
Advisers cont.
In the hopes of freaking out less by means of planning, here are some more potential advisers:
Swansea - WALES! That'll get Quin excited. Anyhow, he studies some of what I want to study in the Italian context, which is at least a little close culturally to Portugal than Germany. (Also, Swansea has a potential adviser if I push my area of study back ( Read more... ) -
Granola Experimentation!
I picked up some spelt flakes to make an oatless oatmeal-type breakfast a few weeks back, and the back of the bag had a recipe for granola. Suddenly I realized I could make and thus eat granola again. Awesome. I'd used most of the bag by the time I picked up the barley flakes, so I decided to alter Alton Brown's granola recipe and see what happened ( Read more... ) -
A Card
Growing up, I knew I had the best mom in the world. Okay, okay, sometimes I got angry and pouty and stomped my wee feet and left Mum angry notes about how she clearly didn't love me because she told me not to slam the door when my sister was napping.

ZOMG
I am so excited that this person exists.
Someone in the UK, at a well respected university who studies 20th Century Portuguese cultural history. And might be genuinely useful in helping me with my current pet research interest, the effects of authoritarian governments on society and culture (focus on right-wing governments). Admittedly the Muslim ( Read more... ) -
How to shame a student body's good name.
Sometimes I can really sympathize with the hoards of people passing out fliers and trying desperately to make their cause known, despite how often I complain about them being annoying. For instance, just now...
(I walk past Sather Gate and hear a plaintive undergraduate ask just after I've passed, "Would you like to donate blood?" I continue to walk ( Read more... ) -

Ow
I woke up from a nap to discover that I feel sick. Not the intended effect of the nap :( Of course, I then recalled coughing this morning after trekking through the pouring rain and gale-force wind. At least I had a surprisingly sturdy umbrella and lots of wool on! Only my poor, damp knees got cold. Apparently my sinuses are in cahoots with m knees ( Read more... ) -
On self-doubt
I already feel the school-related stress building. It doesn't help that Bearfacts isn't showing that I've been given a check, the amount it was for, or that I've deposited it to my account. I really don't want an, "oops, you owe us $500 now!" email. But the real stress is over units and time. I am currently signed up for 13 units. 12 is full time. ( Read more... )
