Here it is, the end of January, and what have I done with myself? I have finished making applications to five schools so that come this fall, I will hopefully begin work toward a Ph.D. in urban planning and policy. The names of the degrees offered by each school is different, so it's hard to say exactly what I'll be getting until I decide on a ( Read more... )

Ah, the month of January is fast coming to a close. I need to finish all of my school applications this week (that means just two more days). I am sure I can meet this deadline ( Read more... )

Well over a month since my last post, and I inteded to update more regularly. Hey, life gets crazy, doesn't it? I can honestly say that December was hard on me. I thought I would feel better being in Richmond, a place I love like mad, but my situation just kept bringing me down, and more than I would like to admit I broke down in dreadful, ( Read more... )

I am still in Richmond, and am really hoping I can find a place to live here so I can move my stuff here and be settled once again. Oh, and I need a job, too ( Read more... )

I can't really remember all the moments I thought I should post on the blog when they happened but just didn't feel like doing it that day. Why do I do that?

This was my second Halloween in Norfolk, and I am definitely doing it in Richmond next year. I really regretted not staying in Richmond for Halloween. I know it would have been much more fun than what I experienced in Norfolk, and I am not going to make that mistake again ( Read more... )

Monday was a very slow day. I didn't do much of anything, just hung around the house mostly. I didn't get motivated to go to the gym for some reason, even though I really wanted to. My friend Bryan picked me up around 4 pm and we hung out while he had some work to do. He's an interior designer, and we went to one of his client's condos to do ( Read more... )

Spending the weekend in Richmond, staying through Tuesday. I am missing a couple of things in Norfolk this weekend to do this, but I will survive. The masquerade ball that I was supposed to go to last year but couldn't because I was sick (stupid me), and then a couple of friends were having a party Sunday as an end of the season party before they ( Read more... )

OK, so none of my friends on LJ have posted since October 12th, and there are some of you who have gone way too long without updating. What's happening out there?
