Source I’ve not read the book and probably would not have watched the movie had I not been stuck on a plane for 5 hours at Heathrow prior to actually departing on our 8 hour flight to BWI. But since I have been forced to re-evaluate my spring break plans now that things in the [...]
Today has not been a good day. I was going to post about overcoming adversity, but my current mood is not one which makes me feel like I actually could overcome a challenge. Things currently pissing me off:1. It is cold, windy, and miserable. Inside my room. With the heat on. (And my space heater [...]
To whoever signed me up for eHarmony, London Loves, and Active Singles: I don’t quite know whether to be flattered that you believe my emotional fortitude so strong that I am ready to enter into another relationship or insulted that you doubt my ability to actually meet someone in real life. Perhaps a bit of [...]
I started writing a new blog entry at 7:30pm when I finally finished eating, showering, and recovering after today’s cross country race, but, unfortunately (and not all too surprisingly considering my incredible time-wasting abilities), time escaped me and it is now too late to actually finish that post. Yes, at 10:47PM it is bed-time. Back [...]
Bard ’til you Barf! (Or, the many ways in which I am excited for the Shakespeare Marathon)
2011
I am still alive, I promise. In the past few days I have:1. Run 11 miles – my second ‘long run’ for my marathon training. My route took me over Tower Bridge… past the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben… and finally over Vauxhall Bridge to stop in front of the SIS (British Intelligence Agency) [...]
Did I get to the library today? No. Did I go to class? No. Why? Two words: stomach flu. I should have predicted this, of course. I get sick every single time I make a transatlantic flight. I think it has to do with the fact that my already-weak immune system, when faced with the [...]
Life goes on as it must. I wish I could say that things are getting better, but they aren’t, not really. Oh well…I will take it one day at a time. And thanks to the awesome support I’ve been getting from friends and family, I think I will come through this ok. What is going [...]
2011 is not getting off to a good start for me. In fact, I’d be quite content if I could sleep through the rest of this year (if it is to continue in a similar vein) and wake up in 2012. Unless, of course, the Mayans are correct and the world will end in 2012. [...]
2011 is here! I kicked off the first day of the year by waking up at the absolutely ridiculous hour of 4:15AM (made more unappealing when coupled with the fact that I didn’t actually fall asleep until 3:30). Seriously, I didn’t get up this early even when I was doing crew. Back then, I got [...]
It is hard to believe that it is the last day of 2010. It seems like only yesterday that it was May and I was getting ready to graduate. I wish I could say that I have grand party plans for tonight, but in reality I am probably going to bed early. I have to [...]
