Tonight is the last night I'll be spending in my apartment...both of my roommates have already moved out, and tomorrow is the last day that I can reside here before turning in my keys. Laura desperately needs to clean her place so that I can move in, the apartment is a wreck and I have barely 24 hours to get in there. I've only spent the night here ( Read more... )

Smoking pot with the screenprinting professor in his apartment by Dupont Circle last night around 3.a.m, I realized I kind of miss the structure of a formal education.

I thought his flight left for London at four. I called Kendra and we went for a walk. Turning from 20th to F street I saw him pulling his luggage behind him and walking with Britta. I don't know why, but I grabbed Kendra's hand and made a U-turn back onto 20th. I didn't want to see him. Kendra and I lay on our backs in the gazebo next to the GWU ( Read more... )

Every single time I'm waiting in the subway I picture a little kid falling on the tracks, and how I would jump down (avoiding the deadly third rail) and roll them into the safety crevice seconds before the train came. The mother's grateful expression, the fanfare, and the good feeling I would have all run through my brain.

Every single time!

I got screamed at by a woman over the phone at work today. She was on her cell phone, and said that her car's battery was dead. She was trying to reach our Georgetown campus to tell the instructor to her class that she'd be late for botanical drawing, but she kept getting only the answering machine. This prompted her to call the college's main line ( Read more... )

I got my first paycheck for working in the dean's office, and for my work last semester. Apparently I got a pay raise without knowing it. When you hit 500 hours it happens automatically. So, while the pay is slightly better now, I still think I need another job to cover expenses and be all good. Work study is the way to go, for many reasons ( Read more... )

I'm home in DC! I'm SO RELIEVED. I got in at about 9pm...spent about 20 minutes with my friends, and then went over to Nolen's apartment. I just got home from there and started unpacking. Very happy ( Read more... )

It's starting to sink in just how awful yesterday was...I cannot believe that our car is totalled. I didn't see much of it last night when the tow truck pried it off of the tree, but my mother took photos of it at the impound lot today and showed them to me when they got home. It's terrible! They've been in pretty good spirits, considering. I think ( Read more... )

I got in a car accident today. Pretty bad. Involved me and a drunk driver who fled the scene...that was fun. Car destroyed. Had to go to the hospital, fractured wrist, whiplash, muscle spasming, bruised up...but intact. I will be murdered by my parents, but I don't think the full effect has hit them yet. It will. Car totalled. Doesn't matter that I ( Read more... )
