Hey everyone! I’m currently smack dab in the middle of a rather large city. Those of you who know me/or are familiar with the area themselves will know which one. 🙂 I’m here with my parents for a conference that my mother is attending, and I’ll be here until the middle of the afternoon tomorrow.

I am more the type to recommend songs instead of whole bands. Currently I’m obsessed with "Boats and Birds" by Gregory and the Hawk, "Let Go" by Frou Frou, and Rufus Wainwright’s cover of Leonard Cohen’s "Hallelujah." All three are fantastic songs.

It’s been a little while since I’ve updated this journal, which is stupid, because I haven’t been that busy. (Okay, so that last part was a lie.) Between summer school and other things, I haven’t exactly had all the free time I’ve wanted. Oh well. So anyway. Math sucks. What else is new? Sorry to

Have any of you ever read a book more than once and had a completely different perspective on it the second (or third, or fourth, or fifth) time around? Because that is currently happening to me right now. I am in the process of re-reading The Last Summer (of You and Me) instead of The
I was checking my friends’ page when I realized that someone in one of the communities I watch had posted a link to a test that supposedly determines whether your central character is a Mary Sue or not. Being naturally curious about this, I decided to take the test using the main character of my

I went to Student Health today to get a lingering foot problem checked out, and it turns out I have a stress fracture. Though that had been what my mom was telling me, I don’t think I exactly comprehended all that that would entail. Until the doctor brought out a protective boot and crutches. Guess

I can’t believe I am still on my Christmas break. Had I been asked a week before finals about whether having a month off would be as good as I’d expected, I probably would have laughed in the face of whoever was doing the asking. Now, I’m beginning to question whether a full month is
