They are filming a movie here at Rollins. I will take pictures if I can, but I am more interested in going to class.  And they jacked all of the parking…those fuckers!

The drama from last weeks seems to have settled down. I get very uneasy when people get overly intrusive. People know I can get mean, and if I feel the least bit cornered, I’m not much of a nice person. The sad thing is that I honestly believed that everyone knew the limits of time [...]

on my cuticle, no less. &%(^%($$(+!!!!!! Fuck! That hurt!
I’ve been quiet lately, I know. The flip side to this is that I’ve actually called people recently. I know, it’s shocking. Don’t worry. I will re-embrace my irritation with phones and retreat back to e-mail and conversations via meebo.
I am listening to a few Cirque [...]

We have come to the time of the year when my life is filled with “to-do” lists. And so, I shall start right now…

Actually have a conversation with my sister - one that is Desitin free (she knows what I mean).
Go to the Highland Games on Saturday with Heather and company.
Escort someone I love dearly [...]

I’m not sure how I feel about the class. Perhaps I was a touch naive to think that the class would focus on identification rather than the science of plants. This will be a challenge, but there are 4 field studies, which I am looking forward to. He also made an interesting observation.
“Campus just isn’t [...]

They called the launch at the very last minute. DAMNIT! I was excited to be out there and we had a perfect vantage point. D and I are going to go back tomorrow. It’s supposed to lift off earlier, so we shouldn’t be that late to our friend’s party. I thought about not going to [...]

The first event of the day brought me to Orange Avenue, near Winter Park. My dermatologist scheduled me for 9 that morning, and I was running late. I have a problem routing myself in the most efficient direction, instead, I weave to and fro through familiar streets, comfortable and slow. Actually, I’m not a slow [...]

I almost killed Valentine last night. The stubborn ass wanted to sleep on my pillow and wouldn’t leave me alone. I kept pushing him off and he kept crawling back up. I felt him jump on the bed, that last time, and I popped him in the face. A rush of guilt washed over me, [...]

As I stated before, this is the second coming of this entry. Perhaps the inadvertent deletion benefits me. This new blog post is making me rethink the negativity of my prior post. The weekend didn’t go as planned. I bailed on the Sunday study session with Dr. Laws. The study groups throughout the weekend disintegrated [...]

When I got up to run this morning, I didn’t resist. My blankets have some kind of gravitational pull. But today it wasn’t as hard to get up and get moving. Pip hopped into bed until I put on my running shoes, then both of the beagle boys bounced all over the house (and if [...]

I planned on running before dawn. Running shoes, comfy socks, headphones, Nano, sports bra, the dry-weave shirt and a pair of mid-calf running pants – all piled high upon David’s dresser. Before I fell into the bathroom light, while still enveloped in the darkness and my dreams, I thought David and I had a conversation [...]

I have finals tonight, and the rest of them next week. I’m trying to settle my stomach with toast.
I love nerves. Wish me luck. It’s my last winter semester. And to those of you who have finals today — think happy thoughts. And don’t forget to eat something before you take the test. Fuel the [...]

From the depths of a shit-tastic week comes hope, reborn and clean. My trust for my coworkers has been shattered. I will walk softly, carefully and remember that my time here is limited. I won’t bring work home with me (both literally and figuratively). That’s just the way of my life today.
I am looking forward [...]

Anne, thankfully, posted her schedule for her last classes at Rollins. If she hadn’t posted, I think I would have spaced on registering. I’m not known for my memory. There is one class that I really wanted that I can’t get into without approval. Instead of swimming upstream, I am going to take the class [...]

I am trying to pull out from beneath this pile of procrastination. It’s a slow process, but it’s happening. The plans are simple for this weekend. I am going over to Amanda’s house to get my Grammar homework done. I am also working this weekend in order to get caught back up on my paperwork.
The [...]

I was in bad shape yesterday. My right eye socked throbbed. Each heartbeat brought about another rush of pain. It didn’t let up. I managed to make it to school. I should rephrase that. I made it to the parking lot, finished my reading in the car, and then it started. My stomached clenched and [...]

My stomach requires more sleep. So does my head. All of my coworkers are screaming into their phones and it’s making me want to throw up. I am hangover, my friends. Two glasses of wine in a stomach scoured by stress, and the drink went right to the parts of my body that like to [...]

Midterm - 6:45. I still don’t feel ready. GAH!

I am wearing my favorite hat today. I bought it in Breckinridge a few years ago, but it rarely gets cold enough for me to wear it. Today, it’s chilly. I am wearing my Pearl Izumi jacket, a cute green long-sleeve shirt and my favorite jeans. I put my hair in pigtails. I feel very [...]

Yes. That is a “holy shit” schedule. If you don’t hear [...]
