WHO wants to give me a G-Mail invite? I know you want to! |

So overall, I think I've found senior week to be...well, rather lame. I don't think the fact that my allergies are practically killing me and it's a struggle to breathe helps at all. At any rate, I'm looking forward to graduating in just a few short days! I just want to move to the next phase of my life. I'd like to focus in on my subject instead of having to take a bunch of classes about subjects I couldn't give a fuck about just to graduate. I'm also looking forward to being on the same continent as Humphrey! That will be such a treat. I think I'm definitely through with this place. I thought it was going to be hard to leave, but it won't be at all. I mean, I got a wonderful education here, but I'm just done with everything else. In the world of good news, I got awarded two scholarships yesterday from the University of Nottingham! This is great because it means that I don't have to take out any more loans on top of the thousands upon thousands that I will owe Smith College when I graduate. I think this is also a big relief to Humphrey..I mean it's one thing to have mountains of debt for your education and another thing to have mountains of debt for someone else's education. Hopefully, I will prove to be worth it in the end. |

Springtime at Smith...
The Vagina tree has bloomed and students are coming down with pinworm....Spring has arrived! Is it really the last week of classes? tick tock tick tock. |

REALLY sick of Smith. Can't wait to get out of this hell hole. That is all. |

ok. So the week before spring break someone stole my shoes. I was upset, but got over it. Today I went and put my clothes in the dyer and left my basket downstairs. Why would anyone take my laundry basket? I'm hoping someone was borrowing it and will bring it back and that I'm just being paranoid because of the shoe theft. :( |

I hate daylight savings
Of course we happen to change our clocks ahead and lose an hour of sleep on a day when I am more hungover (I almost wrote more hungover than God, but I'm not sure he/she/it gets hungover). For my British readers, yes, Americans change their clocks on a different day for some reason. At any rate, as I was dry-heaving into the toilet around five AM this morning, I noticed something I've never noticed in all my years of throwing up in that toilet...When you lift up the seat it has this printed on the bottom: Church. Clearly this is some kind of subliminal messaging. Considering that I attend a women’s college, the only people who ever lift that seat up are doing it to throw up and considering that we are college students, we are probably only throwing up because we drank to much. I wonder why I never noticed it before now… |

Ha! The Gods are smiling on me today. As annoyed as I was with stepping in large piles of slush in the middle of a blizzard today that caused me to have to change my clothes, thank the Gods for the snow! I've been frantically sitting at my computer wondering how on earth I was going to finish my midterm in time to hand it in on three and...I get an email..and the snow is too bad so class has been cancelled!!! Now I have two more days! On to my next midterm which I haven't started yet, but now have an extra two hours to work on! Woot! In other news, you know you are really stupid when you read this headline... "Bush nominates Bolton as U.N. ambassador" And...you think that Michael Bolton is now your country's ambassador to the U.N. Oh yes, and I should add that part of the reason that I'm so behind on the midterm is because a bottle of water in my bag exploded all over my notes leaving many of them unreadable so I was having to start over. Pooh. Current Mood: blessed by the Gods |

Huh. I just got an email from Exeter saying that they'll probably give me a slot in their MA program....except that they want to give me money, unlike Nottingham. Now what to do?! |

FINALLY
FINALLY!! Some good news in my life. Things have been soooooooo shitty in my life lately but today is the best day ever. I got into the MA program at Nottingham AND Humphrey and I scored us a house to live in. I'm so happy I could just die. I wish I could take a photo of my face right now so that everyone could see how much I'm smiling. I Feel SOOOOO good. Current Mood:  ecstatic |

Europe is not really a continent, it's just the stub of Asia
So despite everyone telling me that everything was going to be ok and even with my department being behind me one hundred percent, I have lost my three month battle with the administration. I'll have to take an overload just to take one of my languages. I'm feeling rather down at the moment, so if anyone can do that silly little post memory thing with nice memories, I would appreciate it: If you read this, even if I don't speak to you often, post a memory of me. It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened. Current Mood: devastated |

I'm back in the States now. Need to get cracking on applications, but I've recently become addicted to an online game similar to Boggle and it is severely hindering that process. Not much else to report at the moment, except that we got grades today and let's just say that I am VERY pleased! :) |

Well...in a MILLION times better state than I was the last two times I've updated. I'm glad to finally be finished with finals. I didn't do THAT great, but sometimes I just have to settle, realize that I worked hard all semester, and hope to do better next semester. But the real reason that I'm in a good mood is because I'm leaving to go to the airport in exactly twenty four hours and see my Humphrey after six long months! If I had a digital camera, I would take a picture of myself right now so that you could see just how big the smile is on my face. :) Happy Holidays to everyone!!! xxx Current Mood: Very Happy |

ugh
Were finals always this bad? Did I just forget? It will be a miracle if I can make it through the next forty eight hours. How did I used to be able to do this? :( I just can't function on three hours of sleep like I used to be able....caffeine is losing its effect. |

I'm having one of those moments where I feel like I want to crawl up in a little ball and die. Ok...only thirty more pages to go and two final exams...seven more days....chug, chug, chug. *tells herself it will all be worth it in the end* :( |

Remember to always save your essays as you are typing. My computer just froze and I lost two hours of work. I feel like I want to die. |

Permanent Record
My mother signed up for a night class at Fitchburg State College recently, I think the course is in American Literature. She's been doing great in the course, getting mostly A's on all her papers. Still, the other day, she got a letter in the mail saying that she's on academic probation and that she has to come talk to her adviser. What?! She thought. She then thought back to the last time she was at Fitchburg State College. It was 1979 and at that time she cared more for keg parties (her words, not mine) than academics. They have put her on academic probation based on her not so stellar academic performance in 1979. Shouldn't there be some statue of limitations or something? Anyhow....found that to be amusing. They really don't lie when they say something is going down on your permanent record. |

I always make it a point to go to the best salons when getting my eyebrows waxed. It's such a delicate process and so you want to go to someone who is good. You get what you pay for. This morning I went to a very nice salon in Northampton, one I've been to before on previous occasions. It sure costs a hell of a lot to get them done, but as I said before, eyebrows are not the type of thing that you should trust to just anyone. Well, as luck would have it (and my luck is appalling bad), the woman who worked on me didn't seem to have any idea what she was doing. She spilled wax...get this....right on my eyelid!!! Good thing that my eyes were closed, otherwise, I probably would be blind right now. I still haven't managed to get all the wax off and have lost quite a few eyelashes in the process. Through the process of getting some of the wax on the bottom lid off, I've also managed to get a slightly blackened eye. Of course she didn't charge me for it and they gave me all these discounts to come back (as if I would now). She then got so flustered about that that she did a poor job on the rest of my brows (nothing that a pencil can't fix- no one's really going to notice but me. Still, it's the principal of the matter). I wish someone could pencil me in some eyelashes though. Damn I feel so hideous right now. :( Current Mood: ugly |

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
How bad are things going to have to get for people to do something in this country?! I'm so sick to my stomach; I think I'm going to throw up. Current Mood: disgusted |
