  • (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. I was happily browsing through youtube, enjoying inadvisable amounts of the Ellen Show clips and live performances of Beyonce, when suddenly a “Best Moments” kind of video appeared…

  • Coffeeshop Diaries #2

    I am getting extremely fond of today’s stay in Starbucks. 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…

    In Progress

    I haven’t posted anything in a while, mostly because I don’t have anything complete to present to the world. My “In Progress” desktop folder is full of things I can’t seem to finish once I’ve started. I will finish them, though. I promise. 

  • :(

    I am once again sick. Damn.  Last (Friday) night I bought the KFC Chicken Burger meal to go and ate it in my dorm. Apparently there was something very wrong with what I ate; I proceeded to vomit my stomach out past midnight, and then vomit again after drinking some water. That was not a…

  • Photo: Photo Booth Dorm Blah

    In stunning black and white. Yes, that is my face.  

  • Studying in Minutes

    Begin.  Hello. The time is 23:02, the day Thursday, and I have yet to study for two exams: a long test in Geology and a quiz in History. Both have heavy weight in my current academic career, and yet here I am about to cram it. The reason? I’m not really sure; maybe it was…
