This past weekend, I had a holiday potluck dinner party at my apartment, and it was the best party ever. Everyone brought amazing homemade food and desserts, and there was so much wine and bubbly, and the greatest part was that everyone was mingling. No anti-socials. The party started at 7, and my apartment was packed by 8. There were at least ( Read more... )

I've been recovering from a really bad cold for the past two weeks. I've never lived in anything colder than 55 degrees, so it's been harder on me than I thought. My body hurts from the cold.

Today, I almost died. Maybe not, but I really thought I was going to ( Read more... )

It's been hard to find time to write in my journal. I really want to, but I feel like there's so much to write about that I don't know where to begin. I've seen a lot, done a lot, and thought a lot ( Read more... )

New York, where do I begin? I've been here for three weeks, and I've had the chance to meet up with a few old faces. Hi, Phillip ( Read more... )

I am in New York! I just got to Tran's apartment maybe half an hour ago. I am exhausted from the long flight and not sleeping. I barely slept last night - a couple hours tops. And the night before, I didn't sleep much either ( Read more... )
