I am currently drinking a very large mug of chai tea. today we all have to write essays for L&T... sucks. it's raining. the weather has been like oregon for the past few days, and that makes me sad. it's been so sunny, until now. boo rain

hey I'm at college. Been here for a week now. thought that since I don't talk to you all barely at all I'd give a quick update on here.
it's a lot of work, classes are hard, but it's awesome because everyone is actually smart. I've been getting very little sleep... I haven't gone to bed before 1:30 the whole time I've been here, usually later. and class starts at 9 every day. having no class today was awesome, my roommate and I slept late. it was lovely. the food is pretty good, though getting old. the people on my floor are fun, and mostly guys, so that's cool. I'm going to some party tonight, so that should be interesting... I have a shitload of homework this weekend, but I guess I'll do it tomorrow. finally saw life aquatic, it was good. |

today is my last day in LO before I leave for college very early tomorrow morning. I still don't think this has really set in yet. In any case, I would love to see all of you one last time before I go. I'll be around, packing and such, so give me a call and come hang out with me.
I'll be back for about five weeks at Christmas.
Thank you to all of you for being a part of my life in some way or another, and in case I don't see you today, bye and good luck! |

Come to French Night!
it's tonight (Friday) 6-10 pm in the cafeteria at Lakeridge.
there will be delicious french food including savory dinner crepes with ham and gruyere cheese, and dessert crepes with strawberries, nutella, and whipped cream. there will also be french music by miss rooke's band, a french puppet show and lots of fun!
I just spent about three hours doing preperations for the food. we chopped strawberries and ham, grated cheese, and made massive amounts of crepe batter. it was ridiculous and I'm exhausted. my feet hurt. but I'm really excited for tonight, the cafeteria looks great. |

it's times like these when I want to call people and go do something, and yet I'm too lazy and I know that I should probably go read for english or something.. considering that book is due tuesday and I haven't started. how annoying. I still want to go play...
oh, and if anyone would be so kind as to burn me a copy of any decemberist cd other than picaresque I would be very happy and give lots of hugs... I have no cd burner, and but one lone decemberist cd. also, katie! alison and I keep talking about how we need to ask you to burn us the postal service cd, but I don't think either of us has ever actually asked you! so, we would adore it if you could possibly burn us copies of that cd |

wow, just.. wow

that hugging is delicious.
I was just thinking that perhaps I'm such a cuddly, physical person in order to make up for my lack of ability to freely share my emotions. |

I hate confusion. you don't see it coming, and then it just jumps on you. and makes you mumble to yourself all day. well, alternate between singing "I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night..." in a very cheerful tone and angrily/excitedly/other adjectives whispering at yourself. why did this come up in my head? see, and then I get all vague on here, because I want to get it out and yet I strongly dislike actually telling people how I feel. at least everyone. there are a few people who I would really like to vent to. one I haven't spoken to in three days (ahem, you are supposed to call me, sometimes at least) and there are a few others, who would probably be better for the matter at hand, and, yeah, I'll work on them tomorrow. god, this is so frustrating. why do I have to think so much. thinking sucks. and where did all my emotion go. it's like it's there, but not really. and why.. ugh.. why do I go around yelling and repeating the same things to myself when I still don't have the answer. is there an answer. I don't even know that one exists. why can't life be simple and happy all the time. wouldn't that just be lovely.
and that character on grey's anatomy better not have done what I think he did at the end. what the hell. he can't do that. |

that was ridiculously amazing. tonight I had more fun than I have had in so long. wow. we were just dancing, and going insane, and I felt so free and so happy to be with all the people there. wonderful.
I'm exhausted now. but.. wow.. nights like these need to happen more often.
I realized that I have changed so much in the the last few years. I'm so much more comfortable with myself now. that makes me cheerful. |

this weekend was just ridiculous. actually the last couple weeks in general have been ridiculous. I'm surprised I manage to sleep, eat, etc. at all. I really need a break. a day of nothing. that would be so beautiful. I don't remember the last time when I just got to relax and hang out for awhile without worrying about the next thing I had to do. even during the 15 min. meditation at Dharma School I was thinking about how I forgot to talk to my dad about chores, and I have to do them tomorrow night after musical rehearsal since I wasn't home all weekend to do them. how silly.
I may have told many of you this already. but I feel like bitching. so yeah. this was ( my weekend ) |

my philosophy of art and beauty prof is quite amusing and every so often he says something randomly hilarious (at least I think so). I was looking over my notes and found that the two quotes I had written down were both about latin. and I feel like sharing. so here's what prof bunch has to say about latin:
"I don't know why the latins got to name all the flowers."
"It's not a tree anymore; it's just a dead piece of latin grammar." |

I saw Proof tonight with my mom and it was really good. It made me want to go do math. and for all you non-math types, it's still very interesting psychologically, kind of like a beautiful mind, while still being completely different. good stuff. now I just have to see the constant gardener
I've begun to enjoy reading The Sound of Waves, not because it's good, but because it's not really. I'm intrigued to keep reading and find out what the hell the author is going to throw at me next. and the numerous boob descriptions are awesome.
on another note, I have decided that college interviews are basically bullshit. I somehow manage to talk about the same things in order to make myself sound lovely to every interviewer, no matter what questions they ask. I have the "I want to go to a small liberal arts college, with..blah blah blah, fill in the specific thing that makes whichever college I'm interviewing for unique" shpeal and the my art experiences/art club shpeal and the Philosophy of Art and Beauty at L&C shpeal and the my research paper in english last year about Christianity and Politics shpeal, and the list goes on and on. seriously, they all ask different questions and I answer them the same way. so they'll love me and give me money. then I smile and nod and forget every so often that I'm actually supposed to be listening to their little "my college is awesome" talks because I already know everything they are telling me about their college. I've done so much research it's ridiculous. hm.. and I'm not even half done with all the interviews yet
that paragraph got too long. so. I love comparing what they say to the other colleges in my head. they're like, "and 35% of our students study abroad, which is a lot for a small liberal arts college" and I'm laughing inside, thinking, "ouch, the last college I talked to had 60% of their students studying abroad" and "oooh, you have an average class size of 19? that other college had 15!" it's great fun. then the whitman guy talks all positively about their freshman writing/seminar-ish class, and I'm sitting there thinking, "wow, I've talked to students and staff and all sorts of people about that class and everyone hates it!" |

OBT this morning was nice. it has been awhile. the male dancers were awesome.
I had my first college interview today. It was with Beloit College in WI, where Stoltenberg went. It went quite well. it sounds like a good college for me, but of course all the other ones do too! it's going to be so difficult to decide on just one!
we buried Boots today in a nice secluded corner of the backyard. my dad recited a few buddhist chants and we told him he was a good cat and friend and said goodbye. now there's a nice little mosaic marker on his grave that I made in art literacy in elementary school. |

Boots died today while I was at school
I've had him for so long. He's such a part of the family. this is wierd. it's not like I feel really depressed or anything, we've known for a long time that there was no hope. he stopped eating a few days ago. this morning he could barely move. it's just so.. I don't know.. like a piece is just missing. now I only have one baby kitty. |

from what I hear Rent is to be rated PG-13, which I find both good and bad
good because then everyone can get in easily, no having to work around the system for people who aren't 17 yet
bad because it just seems to me that it must be slightly watered down if it's not R. they say fuck numerous times, Mimi.. cat scratch club... handcuffs.. hmmm, well, I guess there's no "contact" scene in the movie, so that would make it less scandelous than the broadway show. but there's definitely very mature themes and lots of sexuality throughout. meh, I hope it's all good |
