At least the weather sucks too.

I must say, this has been one of the least thrilling weekends of the year so far for me. I approached it with little enthusiasm, because I knew that I had to finish a research paper for my American Lit class (which turned out decently well, I thought. Its entitled “Pus, Guts, and Intimate Reflections: [...]

One day my iPod is going to get me into serious trouble on an elevator.

Elevators, in my opinion, were designed with the primary purpose of creating awkward situations. If you think about it, elevators are small, enclosed spaces, usually with no windows or features to look at, and they move at a slowish pace. You are forced to come into uncomfortably close contact with strangers and then actively ignore [...]

Dinosaurs, Chai, and Homework…oh my!

I went to the library today, which is not an uncommon occurrence, since I go to the library everyday for one thing or another. I actually work at the circulation desk…checking books in…checking books out…shelving books…telling people where the staplers and hole punch are…its a thrilling job.

The weather is finally nice and I have to be inside?! I don’t think so…

Ok, so the weather has taken a turn for the better today, and it was WONDERFUL today. I had the windows open, I could wear short sleeves, the sun was out, people were smiling…and I was stuck in classes or doing homework indoors. Isn’t that how it always goes when the weather gets nice?!
