I am 21 years old (nearly 22) and I am in love, engaged, and happy. Is that odd? Sometimes I feel like it is; a century ago I was normal, now a days it seems as if it’s either a boon or a curse. Some people believe that I should be free right now to [...]

Accidental neighborhood travels.

Today was not the first time I’ve accidentally ended up in Spanish Harlem. Today it was because of a pair of shoes.
I ordered a pair of shoes on Payless.com a while ago and had them shipped to a local (so I thought) Payless store to save myself the $5 shipping cost. Naturally they arrive and [...]
Only one more day of classes…

I am exhausted.
Today was my CAS Presentation of my thesis, “Girls Who Save the World: The Female Hero in Young Adult Fantasy.” It was both a presentation and a competition. There were six student presenters from across pretty much every arts/humanities discipline combination there is. The presentations were really, really good. I didn’t win one [...]
How much do I love Salon.com?

Well, a lot, let me tell you.
I’m revising (for the bazillionth time) part of my thesis and “Whoa,” I say, “I need a quick, reputable reference to the link between Star Wars and Joseph Campbell. Google, help me!” And voila! the same article I’d read in 2002 for my paper on Star Wars for my [...]
The bane and beauty of caffeine… now in peach flavor!

So I tried a new product yesterday at Entropy (the university convenience store) called Enviga. It’s by Nestea and is supposedly a caffeinated green tea product that’s being marketed as a “calorie burner.” They have evidence that if a healthy 18 to 35 year old drinks 3 cans daily they will burn a lot of [...]
I’m… not going to be a student… anymore…

It sank in this morning.
The Fall 2007 schedule of classes was released and I didn’t get an email with my SSN-designated start time. I am no longer a student as of next month. I’m not going to be taking any more classes — and damn it, there are some AMAZING ones next fall — and [...]
I lied…

… this senioritis is worse than my high school case of it. More or less because what’s waiting — the ability to write and chase more actively after my childhood dream — is that much closer. That, and Europe. 61 days to graduation; 64 to Europe.
Saying I’ll be better with my procrastination starting tomorrow is, [...]
Oh, irony.

Where was Roland Barthes when I was writing my final paper for my eighteenth century British literature class last semester? WHERE WAS HE? HMMMMM?
Oh, “Death of the Author” and “The Intentional Fallacy” would have helped make my argument so neatly and easily… oh, oh. It’s rather ironic. I wonder if this happens to graduate [...]
Pasta and international rudeness…

Dienstag, 11. Juli 2006:
Why does nothing ever go according to plan? Ever? Spontaneity is often prized, but I would sometimes rather stick to a laminated schedule, especially when I ought to be doing a variety of things. Like blogging. Or writing vocabulary index cards and actually doing my homework. (Which, in my defense, I always, [...]
