No retreat. No surrender.
Today was full of good things.
Calling my dad to wish him happy birthday
Successful interview with a grad student studying sexual selection among daddy-long-legs
Receiving a text from my brother saying he passed his driving test
Making delicious cinnamon pancakes with raspberry jelly for dinner (without setting off the fire alarm)
Reading that J.K. Rowling is writing another book
I just can't look it's killing me
It’s time for a roundup of last week’s highlights:
running after the 113 bus twice and then walking back to campus with my groceries (Austin’s a dick)
setting off the fire alarm while making pancakes AND waffles
attending a Hawaiian party and getting hit on by your stereotypical surfer dude (long blond hair and everything)
watching Stacey get hit on by a guy almost shorter...
Feeling Twirly O_o
kuch kuch hota hai…
Let's try and be sophisticated now.
Home Goods is amazing! It’s like the Forever 21 of house stuff. Everything is so cheap and even my brother likes going there, mostly because that’s where we bought our giant stone tiger.
My recent purchases:
This nifty chest I’m using to store my books for this semester.
This awesome tiger mug for my excessive green tea consumption.
I also got a bunch of stationary, which...
What's today? It's Tuesday.
My last class consisted of an philosophical discussion of valentines day, so yes I’m going to do the unofficially mandatory Valentine’s Day Post.
I don’t love it or hate it. Yes it’s cute. Yes it is a Hallmark holiday created for them to make money. My friend Steph pointed out that it’s a bit showy. And as my teacher said in class it uses material objects to put...

Wellllll
Lesson: If a drunk man steals your shades. Let them go.
Tonight was interesting. A lot of craziness, but I stuck to my rules, so I guess it was a success? Well success might not be the best word. But it wasn’t a failure.
I watched your words go up in smoke.
This semester has me very nervous. I have so many papers in all my classes. Did you say 40 page paper? Thats funny my last two teachers said that too…
If you’re looking for me, I’ll be on the sixth floor of McKeldin in a back corner.

There are certain people you just keep coming back...
Aleksa is leaving for France tomorrow. It’s weird that she is not going to be here this semester. There will be no more spending an hour in giant, taking tea packets from hotel rooms, setting me up on blind dates, going on dubstep adventures, receiving frantic calls at all hours of the night, shopping for abstract objects at rite aid, training for marathons, cooking strange vegan dishes,...
We take care of our own.
First day of school. The maintenance guy woke me up when he was banging on our door this morning and wasn’t sure what to do with myself after that because I only had one class. And it was from 3pm to 6pm. Ended up lifting weights and doing the P90X ab workout. And then I got ready. And then I waited. And then I played around with the walkie talkie that “Kevin” had left in my...
We Both Know
Today is the Chinese New Year. Mmmm It is nice to be back in College Park. And it is nice to talk to people I haven’t seen in awhile.
Stages of Losing Something
I went through several stages. First was shock. I sat there frozen. After came denial. I couldn’t believe it. Did that really just happen? Then I was angry. I went around pinning the blame on multiple moments and people. Then I was sad. I literally teared up. I tried to make myself feel better. Made chicken and rice that I normally enjoy, but today I had to force it down. Finally there was...
All you have to do is say yes.
Moved back in today. Winter break just seemed like a strange dream and now I’m back into my routine.
I have a ridiculous surplus of food that I need to eat, so I have room in my kitchen again. I also have a surplus of movies and shows I still need to watch.
But back to the main thing that is on my mind…I am so so excited for tomorrow.
It's been awhile.
Today was fun. Shopping and hanging out with my brother are two of my favorite things. Add an old friend into the mix and it’s near perfection.
Friends are good. For giving you reality checks and talking sense into you and reminding you of things you forgot and making you happy in general.
All at once.
I should go to bed, but I don’t feel tired. My sleep pattern has been screwed up. Winter break has been interesting to say the least, but I can’t wait to get back to school. College Park in 2 days!
But there are still two things. And I can’t decide between them. Maybe I’ll get both. Or neither. I’m so indecisive.
Nothing good happens after 2 a.m.
You should just go to sleep haha.
Puffyness and Pain
Despite being able to eat ice cream for the first time in a long time, I’m really craving solid food. What I would do for pizza right now…..
Goodbye 2011. Hello 2012.
2011 was some of the best and worst times for me. Things got rough at times, but I learned a lot and I grew stronger as a person as a result. I feel different than the person I was at the beginning of last year. I got rid of a lot of things that were holding me back and it wasn’t always easy. I am ready to move forward now into this new year and see what it has planned for me, or more so...

Hallelujah. Holy Shit. Where's the Tylenol.
I’m up past midnight wrapping gifts. I can’t believe tomorrow is Christmas. It came so fast. It feels different this year. So rushed. Maybe it’s because when I’m not sleeping I’m working.
In those few hours when I’m doing neither of the above I’ve been singing Christmas songs. While in the shower, while drying my hair, while doing dishes. Just trying to...
Putting in the Time
Finished the semester. And now onto a worse breed of work: retail. I’m working 40 hours this week. And Christmas shoppers are insane. Don’t get mad at me if we are out of something, I’m not holding out just to spite you. No I’m not a manager. And I’m definitely not your personal shopping assistant that is there to help you for 45 minutes. And did you really have to...
Guess who's finally done her exams?
This girl.
Ahh Finals Week
Where seeing someone sacrifice a squirrel to the Testudo statue won’t even cause a double take.
You say you don't like me, but I know you're a...
…cause when we kiss—fire.
Spent the past few days in a daze, but multiple cups of green tea and one episode of The New Girl later and I’m back on my feet.
Sparkle Motion
New sparkly top from Forever 21.
This semester I have been focusing on trying to figure out my life and become the person I want to be. And I felt like I was finally getting my shit together. And then this past weekend came around and everything went spinning out of control again. So time to recover.
So....
It was an interesting weekend.
I can't live with or without you.
What just happened? I’m not sure how I got dragged into this. Spent last night wandering around my apartment with way too much caffeine flowing through my veins. Made some rash decisions. And now I’m not sure what the hell is going on.
It’s going to be an interesting weekend.

One Step Up
It’s been a blur. Running errands Wednesday. Played some Skyrim and I’m addicted. Non-stop cooking and eating Thursday. Family. Awesome victory by the Ravens. Reading Mockingjay. Three hours of sleep. Worked at Toys R Us from 5a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and all the usual insanity that goes along with black friday shopping. Saturday did some shopping of my own and got lost, but I did get to see...
Today I Don't Feel Like Doing Anything
This Past Week…
I drank a gallon of green tea.
I got to hang out with Salar, for like an hour.
I finally got some use out of my PS3.
I ate 3/4 of a pumpkin pie .
I remembered to water my plants on time. (Leafy, Twiggy and Spiney)
I started to get sick and then got un-sick after doing the Homeless Walkathon.
I got shit done.
