I am bored, and have many things to do, but feel entitled to at least several days of doing Absolutely Nothing. I am pretty much a senior in college. What the fuck? Seriously.
I am in Cranford and I am thinking a lot. We chatted late last night about so many things in the past and our futures. I just read about six years of old livejournal entries because I couldn't sleep. How can I feel homesick while sitting in my own bed? So much has changed.
I can't believe that I wrote in this every day during high school...but I'm glad that I did.
and if it offends you, i'd have to agree with one commentor:
"I seriously love all the comments on all these posts re: how racist the blog is. Really, if this blog is among the most racist things that have ever happened to you, you have exactly zero of my sympathy. Talk to me when someone throws rocks at your 12-year-old self because it’s 1991 and you’re “Japanese.”"
Or when you're a senior in high school and people love to imply that you're stealing away all the spots at prestigious colleges because of Affirmative Action. and stuff like that.
1. neverending, miserable cold 2. overheard on the Boston shuttle: "So, I've been trying to get my cell phone to express the temperature in Kelvins..." 3. 228 miles from home
I would just like to share with you an amazing clip posted on my cognitive neuro professor's website.
gotta love a guy who regularly includes Simpsons references in his powerpoints, rather excitedly points out that famous neuroscientist Simon Baron-Cohen is Sacha Baron-Cohen's cousin (but claims he expected more from his Borat performance), and now, has shown an appreciation for Pinky and the Brain.
so that was the first family vacation i've been on in a while, not counting the time when my parents rescued me and Mike from summer orgo for a weekend to go to cape cod. after spending almost a year in in new englandy Boston, california was quite a change. i had a water bottle in my backpack on the plane and i didn't notice. neither did security. oh well.
I along with many others from the Students Global AIDS Campaign from Brandeis University will be walking/running as a team in the 20th Boston AIDS Walk on June 4th, 2006... Our fundraising goal is $1000.00 and we are very close but we'd love to go way beyond this goal. If you would like to make a donation or would like to join me and some friends on this walk check out the link below!

Time at which I realize that the minimum length is 10, not 8 pages: 4:05pm
Time at which final paper is handed in: 4:40pm
Length of paper at 4:40pm: 9.5 pages
So that's how far extreme panic and Arial font rather than Times New Roman can get you. Basically, I hate my anthro class and i'm SO GLAD that i'm done.
