• Hosted my first ~dinner party~ today, ahahaha, and besides a mostly empty bookcase toppling over when it was nudged by one of the guests, and the smoke alarm going off because I left the pizza in the oven too long, it went pretty well. My carbonara thingy was a little too dry by the time people started arriving, and I don't think we had enough ( Read more... )

Things, things, things, in no specific order:

• Washington is a pretty city, but I'm not trading Chicago for it. Washington is all neat and proper and appropriate, while Chicago's got this edge to it that HELLO, IS IN BATMAN. :|
  
  
• While American history, as it turns out, doesn't do much for me, I believe I'm acquiring an interest in all things ( Read more... )

I decided two weeks ago, purely on whim, to visit the capital after Terminus. So, um. As of 1 hour before departing for the airport, I have:

• my boarding pass
  
• the confirmation number for the hostel
  
• a mostly packed bag
  
• dressed myself

I don't have:

• directions from the DC airport to the hostel
  
• any other plans

This is the sort of thing that will ( Read more... )

I'm currently reading Eoin Colfer's latest Artemis Fowl book, The Time Paradox, and I really wish one of the characters hadn't been called Jayjay, because if I can stop myself from reading it as Vajayjay I might be able to give it a coherent review or something.

I have moved from my dorm to an apartment! \o/ And because I'm a cheapskate, I moved everything myself (nearly everything-- my roommate helped lug an extra luggage bag for one trip, and I took a cab to move my desk and my mini-fridge) so I've been moving since May 10 ( Read more... )

life updates I'm recording just for posterity's sake, or, you know, if anyone was wondering what I'd been up to these days:

• Internship - I think I got one. I say I think because I've not heard word from my employer since I told them I'd love to work with them. It's unpaid work for 40 hours a week beginning as soon as the spring semester ends and ( Read more... )

I just woke up at 5am today so I can bake cookies before leaving for work because I need to give these cookies to some people right after work and I have no time otherwise. Also, I hate that I used this icon for the baking allusion.You know you're overworked when you've been waking up at the crack of dawn for the last couple of days just to find ( Read more... )

Since this entry I feel like I can say nothing else that is more interesting or more amusing, so I'll go for the opposite and bore you to tears. See my icon be ironic. Hahaha.

• I got a part time job starting yesterday and consequently overslept for it.
  
• I have got a major oral and written presentation due next Tuesday and even though it's group ( Read more... )

Leaving for the airport in approximately six minutes, leaving the country (for what could be two years or more :|) in around four and a half hours. Should be back in a week or so, perhaps from my cousin's house or my brand-spanking new dorm. :|

Leave me love, darlings. ♥
