Yay For Me!

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Absolutely nothing overly exciting has happened.  But I’m feeling much more enthusiastic about university at the moment.  I got a decent grade on my last essay (which I was certain I wouldn’t) so that makes me happy.  I slept in until nearly 9:00 this morning (courtesy of staying up until nearly 1am).  Life is good. [...]

Something A Little Bit Different

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I spent last night more than a little pissed off.  See, I *still* haven’t gotten my damn debit card thanks to a certain company which has been jerking me around since last week.  I won’t say who they are except their employees don’t wear brown and there’s a “hidden” arrow in their logo.  Last Thursday [...]

Dad Has The Final Word…

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

As usual. Remember the story I told you about my brother jumping off the roof of our one-story house in Louisiana with only a flare parachute? Remember how my brother contradicted me and told me it was at Ft. Knox and our two-story house? Well…the referee (aka Dad, Daddy, He Who Has Final Say) has [...]

My Life For the Next 4 Months

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

I can’t believe my MLitt course is over in four months, and that I’ll be home in five.  This year has gone by so quickly, it’s amazing!  Technically I don’t have to have my dissertation turned in until August 31, but my parents are coming over around the 10th of August and the game plan [...]

This Is My Life Part II

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Not quite a month ago, I wrote about some idiot who had snaked my debit card number and had attempted to make fraudulent charges on my checking account. I ended up calling my bank (collect) since I couldn’t get them to reply to my emails – God forbid someone go the extra mile when it [...]

This Is News?!

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Would someone please explain to me why the breaking news headline on CNN is that Ashton Kutcher was the first to reach 1 million followers on Twitter?  Well, the fact that it’s on CNN makes sense since it was a contest with CNN, but why is this news?  Does anyone really care?  It’s as if [...]

Family Stories*

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

My brother will probably want to kill me for telling this story, but I’m going to do it anyway.  My brother was a typical boy – rough and tumble and capable of using his brain to outsmart his opponents.  He used to make me play linebacker during neighborhood pick up football games – mostly because [...]

Hmm…. Is It Just Me?

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Right now it’s 6:39 am, Scotland time.  And I’ve been awake for not quite 30 mins.  I’m still blurry-eyed and yawning. My morning ritual is to get up, hit the loo (which I’m sure everyone wants to know, but hello!  gotta pee), and hop on the computer.  Check email, pull up facebook.  Pull up online [...]

And The Winner Is…

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I have just finished what is quite possibly the worst academic essay I’ve ever written. Seriously, y’all. It’s absolutely pathetic. Which sucks because I had such high hopes for this one. Maybe I still have time to work it out…it’s not due until this afternoon. blech.

The Coolness of the Day

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

As you know I’ve decided to pull a “woman’s preogative” and change my mind about my final project. Screenplay out, research paper in. So in addition to working (ha!) on the essays I still need to turn in this semester, I’ve been doing cursory research on my still hush-hush topic – and there’s not a [...]
