  • Blogging is 99% trying to find that perfect free theme. Or praying for a way to magically buy the premium package and premium themes, really.

  • Daily motions, among other things

    Forever mode: TIRED. Paralyzed by too much action and inaction.  “Posting a new blog entry” has been in my mental and literal list of things to do for the past couple of weeks. I finally have the opportunity (and will) to do so –since I don’t have internet access, I can happily enteratin myself with…

  • Frogs, banks and habits, oh my!

    What do these three things have in common? Possibly a lot of things, but chief of all they are relevant to me (at least recently). This semester we’re taking Bio 22 –that’s General Zoology– as one of our sciences (we also have Plant Anatomy and General Chemistry). And we have finally, finally opened up a…

  • Things that really matter and stuff:

    Note: I was supposed to post this ages ago, but I received a wordpress-related scare. I couldn’t type on the post editor section! Actually, I still can’t. I’m using Chrome right now, because for some reason my Safari can’t handle making wordpress posts. Not proofread.

  • (Un)Expected Things

    Well, hello again. #1 One Direction (It’s a new day when the first on my list is a British pop boy band.) I was helpless to resist.

After claiming a small table to the front of the counter (surprisingly quite easily, I might add), I bought a grande mocha frapp. For the first time in recent memory I was asked how many mocha pumps I’d like, which apparently variated the sweetness of…

  • For the love of something

    is a completely irrelevant post title. Today I’d like to write about several things not actually related to some advocacy or social issue (EXCEPT THE ISSUE OF MY LIFE). Let me begin. The Fifth Bio Lab Exam I have SO MUCH RAGE it deserves to be underlined. I have never, in my life, been so…

  • Coffeeshop Diaries #1

    Context I was about to title this post as /HIPSTER DIARIES/, but then I realized that I am severely under-qualified to be a hipster. Values independent thinking? Check. Loves counter-culture, progressive politics, yada yada? Check. Hipster clothes? Uh, not in this century. So I am resolved to label this and all the following posts by…

  • Life imitating me

    in the sense that it is obviously a procrastinator as well. IT CRAMMED THE DEADLINE OF EVERY SINGLE REQUIREMENT/ TEST/ ACTIVITY/ PROJECT INTO THE SPACE OF A SCANT FEW DAYS. And then I am told to expect this of life every single year.  No. Just. Ugh.  Not to mention the fact that proving identities is…
