I graduated from Rollins College. And a year later, life is so different. But I want to send congrats to Kat — I wish I could be there to see you walk… have fun today.

Wednesday - My final final, Botany. Again, I believe that Dr. Grey screwed us. I studied the list of topics, made note cards, poured over maps and formulas and all that other nonsense. I packed my brain full of stuff, and when the test came, I almost threw something. He included information from throughout the [...]

It’s going to take me a bit to sit down and tell you about that last day — about how I cried, and tried not to get overwhelmed by the first of my many goodbyes, about how I took a few moments in the parking lot to reflect on the sucesses and failures at Rollins, [...]

I’m not feeling well. Jager is a bad bad bad thing. I am getting over the hangover but last night was amazing. It felt so weird. I will get into the specifics later, but the last class is done and my new journey is beginning. I’ll make phone calls in a day or two..but first [...]

I’m going to get drunk now. I’ve cried more than once. Yeah - reflection will come later, for now, I am very sad and want to spend time reminiscing with friends and loved ones — and a beer will be in hand.
Blessings to all…

She dusted the office and hummed a song her Momma used to sing when she was a baby. The feather duster danced between a gavel and the notebook that judge always wrote in. The letters meant nothing to her. She couldn’t read. But the judge had a pretty way of writing, like ribbons of light [...]

I should be knee deep in Botany terms, but I just can’t do it right now. So….. tired. Took the grammar final. Don’t know how I did, and right now, I don’t give a shit. Bad attitude. Yes. Oh well.
**bad grammar on purpose, so hush **
The ongoing bittersweet feeling continues. So does the battle [...]

** This is a response paper I wrote after reading Specimen Days (which I highly recommend). The second story deals with children suicide bombers in modern day NYC. This response is to just one instance in the book, but I like it so I thought I would share. And D drew the boy. He will [...]

Here’s the e-vite. Everyone is welcome…even those of you who don’t live locally. Please bring a friend or five, a beverage or ten, and something to snack on.
My family is going to be here… Mom and Alexis and Derick fly in on the 11th of May. I don’t know what I’m more excited about - [...]

It’s worse than you think.
I made a list, checked it twice and didn’t get a damn thing done. Scratch that. We cleaned the house. You will no longer see fuzz-bunnies the size of the cat floating about. I had a manic snap, so I went to bed around 8 this morning and then got up [...]

I GOT MY CAP AND GOWN!!!
*passes out*

We have worked extensively on the reproductive organs of the flower. Every time we talk about ovaries and stamens and pistels, I think of Reproduction from Grease 2.
Reproduction, reproduction!
Put your pollen tube to work.
Reproduction, reproduction!
Make my stamen go berserk.
Reproduction!
I don’t think they even know what a pistil is!
I got your pistil right here…
Where does the [...]

I bought my plane tickets for Seton Hill, and applied for Financial Aid. I even rented a car. . It cost more for the car than the flight. How fucked up is that? It’s more expensive to fart around PA for five days than to fly up there? That’s just obscene. I get back home [...]

I found out last night that my humanities portfolio is overdue. Is this my fault? Partially, I suppose. I searched my Rollins e-mail and such to find out the due dates, but got no information. Connie Holt called last night and told me it was overdue. Guess I will be busting my ass this weekend. [...]

D and I went to Fuji with Amanda and Adam last night. I heart asparagus rolls. Oh, and carrot rolls. Oooohhh and TAMAGO!!! *drool*. So begins my food obsession. I’m rolling through them with more speed and intensity these days. Two years of non-pulp OJ and cream cheese bagels when I was in high school [...]

I finished my midterms.
Skipped out of work most of this week in order to get grad school and studying done.
Finished all of the grad school stuff except this fucking “Letter of Intent”
It’s due today.
As I write this, it’s 12:06 in the morning.
I am fucking tired.
Perhaps I should go to bed and try to finish it [...]

I got  stuck reading a book last night, and I am  not all that happy about the story. I used to be a rabid fan of Charles De Lint, but I think he’s getting repetative. I need some new worlds to read about.
I can’t keep my eyes open. I am so damn tired. Coffee is [...]

Remember the song “Conjunction Junction” … sing it with me!! Well “procrastination station” sounded similar and made me  hum. Of course, I took my meds about a half hour ago and I am more than tired right now. Ahhhh…. drugs.
The reason for this little ditty - I am way fucking late in getting my shit [...]

I really like listening to SomaFM. Once I get past the tinny quality of streaming audio, I find myself swaying in my uber-uncomfy office chair. It’s good stuff.
Not a lot to say today. Botany class was fun. We used a key to identify a plant, and it reminded me of those “Make Your Own Adventure” [...]
