I just finished taking my first exam and I think I did pretty damn well on it! Wrote about whether or not Booker T. Washington was an apologist to racism and if his importance in maintaining national prominence hurt black rights. Yes, yes he did indeed. Not that he was a bad person or anything, he helped thousands of young black boys and girls ( Read more... )

Well, freedom from any more essays, at least! Yes! I just finished and printed out my last essay for Political Science and now all I have to concentrate on are my two exams! Ahhhhh...sigh of relief! I only had one page done last night and about 1500 more words to go when I fell asleep and didn't wake up until 5 AM. Blah. I'm going shopping ( Read more... )

Ah, yesterday was a mighty fine day. Helen, Megan, Ali, Soph, Jason, and I went down to the Toby Carvery and had a scrumptious roast dinner drowned in gravy and dessert to boot! I had roast beef, broccoli, cauliflower, two types of roast potatoes, squash of some sort, a giant Yorkshire pudding, carrots, and the most delicious gravy. It's ( Read more... )

I had to atone for my sins today by doing all of the dishes (not that I usually don't, anyway). I woke up today and thought, "I want cute summer clothes--enough of these jeans and T-shirts. I want skirts and nice shirts!" So I went into town by myself (always a bad idea 'cause then there is no one to stop me or help me find good deals, and ( Read more... )

I got back from Germany last night! Oh man, backpacking for two weeks is awesome, but I'm glad to be back home (although another day to get over the pub crawl would have been nice). So yeah, our last night in Berlin Megan and I had the wonderful idea to to do the pub crawl organized by this group called New Berlin. They have the most awesome ( Read more... )

I'm still sick after a week and a half. Still coughing my lungs up, still blowing my nose every minute, still can't hear properly out of my left ear, still getting ear discharge (ewwww!). Worse yet, I can't sleep at night so I'm tired all day. I can't even get myself to take good naps! It's been like that for a week! About 5 hours or so of ( Read more... )

So I got back from Dublin on Saturday afternoon--had a hell of a good time over there! We left Swansea at 10:30 PM on Tuesday night (which meant that I had to finish my essay a day early--I barely finished it on time before the office closed; it's crap, but oh well) and arrived in Dublin (after a very tumultuous 3 hour ferry ride) at 9:30 AM. We ( Read more... )
