Sunday, April 30th, 2006 We had a sorority picnic yesterday. Two picnics in a row. I’m a lucky girl.
I was quite excited to finally be able to bring my grandfather to school. He was impressed with campus. And the fact that he was impressed impresses me. Because he’s rarely impressed. And campus isn’t very impressive.
Yeah.
But it was interesting [...]
Must be the bright colors
Tuesday, April 11th, 2006 This has been the first semester I’ve ever had to wake up before 7:30am. It’s been wonderful getting all of my classes over with by 2:00pm, and 9:15am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but since daylight savings time came back around about a week ago, the best part has been the sunrise.
My college is a [...]
Revenge of the Greeks
Monday, April 10th, 2006Before joining a sorority, I figured that the Greek organizations were more comparable to the one portrayed in Legally Blonde than that of Revenge of the Nerds. I learned quickly that sorority girls do not usually carry cutesy matching stationery, nor do they live in furnished mansions on the south beaches of Florida, nor [...]
Nomad
Thursday, April 6th, 2006 I’m getting the desire to transfer colleges again.
Not because I’m not satisfied with my college. I have loved both of my colleges. There are just so many universities. How can I just experience one? Or two?
I’m not leaving here, but it just seems odd that I want to. Hopefully my summer job away will [...]
TCM: Relived
Friday, March 3rd, 2006Earlier today, my friend and I ventured to the outer limits of this God forsaken little town in order to seek out the almighty landlord of my new, glorious house. No, not an on-campus, bleak, fly-infested dorm. And not a shitty, stone-cold, cement hovel that consists of 50 tiny replicated apartments. It’s a warm, [...]
Red alert! Put the kettle on!
Friday, February 10th, 2006 I really wish I could learn to like tea. I somehow always forget that I hate the taste of it, no matter how pretty the flavor sounds, and order it anyway.

BAM
Wednesday, January 18th, 2006This semester started in a frenzy. I accepted a position as a full-time high school lacrosse coach and will also be student teaching for the next couple of months. Very busy, but very exciting. All of that, in addition to being a full-time student, active sorority member, and lacrosse player, and my main thought [...]
Overdrive
Saturday, December 17th, 2005This semester I pledged a sorority. I don’t know how it happened, but it did. And thanks to the stereotype brought about by shows like MTV’s “Sorority Life,” I was met with little more than “what?!” or, sometimes, “why?!” by friends who saw the letters in my profile. I have never been so completely [...]
The Power of Power
Tuesday, September 13th, 2005 I woke up about an hour before class. After checking my e-mail, my screen suddenly dimmed, and my laptop switched to battery power. I figured that using power strips plugged into power strips plugged into power strips finally overloaded the one outlet I have everything plugged into.
I opened our door to a surprisingly black [...]
Dorm Familiarities
Friday, September 9th, 2005 I decided to move back to my own domain. My host was and is wonderful, but I have a lot to add and didn’t want to take her space for granted. This is a temporary layout until October, when I can do something for Halloween.
My horrible college network doesn’t allow the installation of anything. [...]
Where Pebbles Are Polished and Diamonds Are Dimmed
Friday, September 2nd, 2005 The first week is almost over, and it was excruciatingly long. My classes are basic. I won’t bore either of us with the details. Is anyone on facebook?
I’m going to add a creative section to keep the stuff that wouldn’t necessarily fit on the daily pages. Also, I was just hired as an [...]
The Vicious Cycle
Sunday, August 21st, 2005 I’ll be returning to college this week, much to my own disbelief. I’m relatively sure that I won’t know it’s happening until I open the first blank notebook with that over-confident, beginning-of the-school-year determination.
The best news all summer:
Has anyone else read these?
