I’ll start with the negative then work my way back to the good stuff. My flight back to Boston was scheduled for 6:59 p.m., but when I printed my boarding pass, it said it was now a 7:15 P.m. departure. I thought I could deal with that so I went through security (shoes and belt off, pocket […]
Such fun! Yesterday, Chris and I went to Georgetown where we walked and talked and shopped (I picked up a few things at H&M, Zara and Mexx). We also met up with Adrian (with whom I’d been chatting with on-line since summer). After eating lunch on M Street, we drove through the mall and around […]
I did it! Yesterday was my first flight in 8 years and, to be quite honest, I don’t know what I was worried about. Though, I’m sure the 4 Ativan I took in advance of the trip helped immensely. Especially considering the following: 1 – the flight was delayed an hour 2 – the flight […]
I saw another gaggle of Mormons in the subway station this morning. I don’t know what it is, but they fascinate me. Any institution that can talk a teenager into wearing a suit every day must have some pretty powerful skills of influence (dare I say manipulation?). I mean, I’ve not worn a suit in over 4 […]
I think I’m becoming animated. I swear. You know how in old-school cartoons, when a guy is really angry his face turns read then steam comes out of his ears? Well, that was me last night. I wasn’t angry, but I had just finished the final exam so I felt like all of this stress […]
While I was home sick yesterday afternoon, my landlord’s wife and a contractor made a surprise visit to my apartment to following up on a maintenance request I had placed for my dishwasher. At the time, I was sprawled out lazily on my sofa after having devoured a cannoli* from Maria’s Bakery (the best canolli in the […]
Yep. That’s where I am right now. When my alarm clock went off this morning, I just laid there and felt blah. The sniffles and minor aches were still there so I decided I should take it easy. I’m hoping that a day of rest will make whatever I’m fighting go away faster (and not […]
I think I’m fighting a cold. I started noticing the symptoms on Saturday afternoon. Nothing serious – just a runny nose and itchy throat. Now it’s Monday and I’m feeling the exact same symptoms – no worse, no less. I’m optimistically thinking that my stellar immune system has been fighting it off and that the […]
So, how did I spend my Sunday? (that was to be spent studying) I went to brunch with friends, then went to the office and actually did work on studying for two hours (I left my materials there by mistake which ended up being a good thing because it provided my only un-interrupted study time). […]
It’s official. I’m the worst student ever. In my old age I’m realizing that I’m just not able to focus anymore. I’m so easily distracted that I’m unable to accomplish studying. I know when Matt reads this he’ll bitch and moan that I’ll do well on the exam anyway and that I’m over-reacting, blah, blah, […]
