Paula: A Hipster?
My PR Media Prof. informed me yesterday that he thought I should be on this show "Quarter Life." Someone asked him if it was any good, and he said not really. Apparently, the show is terrible.

I can't stand to think about
A heart so big it hurts like hell.
Oh my god, I gave my best,
But for three whole years to end like this.
Well do you want to fall apart?

Funny day in class w/ Michel Jonker today. First he came back from the break and started the lecture again. I couldn't understand him and then realized he was speaking Dutch.

"You reject traditional gender roles..." Who me?
You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
