Whoosh! The second week of classes really does give you a headspin. It’s not that I had any more work than last week, but my involvement has certainly gone up. We went out looking for jobs, I tried to figure out how to get into some clubs, and I got certified to use the weight […]
This peacock’s name is Phil. As of today, I have returned to the fold of college students. With classes and books and other nonsensical ideas such as program filing for next semester (although the website is mysteriously lacking in functional ways to do this). Overall, the last two weeks have gone by with a blur […]
Karyan flipped past an advertisement for makeup and found little pencil marks indenting the page. Sitting on her oversized queen bed one night, they had conspired against anyone who wore these atrocious things (half the school) and vowed to cut off their mock-goth hairstyles and burn them in a bonfire. Needless to say, their mothers […]
Postcard Moments from New York CityHere is a snippet of my big city life:A few days ago, I went on a day-long rug search.I was walking down the street nearby Chinatown and staring at the ground in a typical Seattle fashion – keep your head down and shoulders tight so no one notices you. In […]
Wow. It’s getting really difficult to stay calm.We have just waved off three of ‘the Clan’ (with a ‘C’ as Ariel specified) and now it’s just Nina and I left. She’s leaving tomorrow morning and I’m leaving tonight at 6pm. There is something strange about this fact.I remember Da telling me once [probably after the […]
It’s almost unfair.I feel like my time here was full of awesomeness, a great group of new friends and artists, people who really understand me (and if they don’t, it didn’t matter because we got along anyway). Now so many people are talking about leaving and it is very depressing. So I just had to […]
Heathy, you probably won’t read this [until I tell you to on Facebook], but I love you. You made my day with your post about love and so I wanted to return the favor with a tribute post.I really want to be a little more free. And that’s sort of what I’ve been doing here […]
This place has gotten so comfortable that I’m playing music over and over again in my head and singing it out loud at random intervals. I think I’ve become slightly creepy.I know that I always take the time to tout the merits of being here, but I’ve just realized that there is always something to […]
I am going to take a moment to appreciate diversity among people at length [not just in the racial sense, but from what I’ve seen just living here]. I have met…– A dark skinned Guiana girl who is of Indian descent with the last name ‘Singh’ (indicating Sikh) who is really Hindu but her family […]
I know.Sometimes it’s completely wonderful to spend a weekend away from yourself. Away from all the little opinion pieces floating around in your head, narrating your life as if you were some sort of child and needed to be directed at every turn. Eat this, don’t touch that, be careful! Things aren’t so much different […]
