THE THESIS IS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, the rough draft anyway, which is reeeally rough.  But it’s out of my hands now.  Now I just wait to see what my adviser says sucks, then I fix it, so on and etc. If everything goes right, I’ll be done with this thing sometime in March, and then I’ll only [...]

Yesterday I went to the hair salon to get my hair trimmed and dyed again, as I wanted a few layers and I had developed roots.  I forgot to bring the paper that had the dye lot written on it, so the hairdresser and I made a best guess.  Well, I think we were off [...]

So, up to this point, everything I have written of my thesis I have written in pieces, disjointed from the other sections, because I wasn’t sure how I wanted to organize it all.  After a LOT of staring at my computer in the local Starbucks, I figured it out in a way that makes much [...]

This might be the most hilarious thing that I have read in a long time.  There is a group in New York City called Improv Everywhere who just organized an event where, in coordinated fashion, 300 people took off their pants on the New York Subway system.  GO HERE and read about it.  And you [...]

This weekend, I went up to the DC/Baltimore area to visit Sarah Gerson.  Vicki and Lizzy were already there, visiting, so it seemed like a good time to make the drive up.  The weekend was fun and all…until the drive home yesterday (sunday).  See, earlier that day I drove to McLean, VA to see my [...]

Facebook friends are the people you wonder how they are, but don’t really have any reason to ask them.  Like, I was stalking people tonight, and there were several people who I wanted to say “hey, how are you” to, but really, I don’t know that I really care.  And its been years since i [...]

Here I am back in Virginia. It’s kind of a strange feeling to be back – both weird and normal. Weird in that I have roommates once again (one of which sings to himself SO LOUDLY), and that I’m back on campus, and such, but normal because I have all my stuff again, [...]

Sigh.  I am in the process of transcribing the interviews I have done for my thesis and I have decided that there can be no worse fate than this.  I keep stop-play-stop-rewind-play-stop-playing over and over again, and i think i need to take a break.  I havev 21 minutes done of one hour-long interview, and [...]
