whilst my mother is doing her business thing (meetings, convention, etc.) i have been touring around by myself in London and today was our first day in Prague. not a bad situation (^_^). going with friends is nice in it's own way...but it's also nice to walk around at my own pace and see things i wanna see.

big brother left america for good.



/sigh




-_-

i hate it when people get angry at me without asking why something happened or assuming it was because i was being inconsiderate or stupid. just yell and hang-up. yes yes. that's helpful. some people just need to calm the fuck down and listen for a second.

/sigh.

oh well. nothing i can do about people who are gonna think the worst anyways...
...time to get back to relaxing.

kicked presentation ASS today. HEEEEEEELL YEAH! mmmmmm. no more worrying about it...


one thesis presentation down, one thesis paper to go. lol.





p.s. - osheaga music festival in august...mmmmm yeah.

it's been a while since there have been so many tv shows i actually make time for. now my week is pretty full, meaning there's at least one show i try to make time to watch 5 days a week (sunday-thursday): Kings, Gossip Girl, Castle, The Office, Lie to Me, etc. too bad i should be working on my thesis...

home for a busy spring break filled with thesis work, dance practice, and seeing people i WANT to see.

first real meal at home = gigantic steak.





mmmmmmmmm


california, california
you're such a wonder
that i think i'll stay in bed
big time rollers, part time models,
so much to plunder
that i think i'll sleep instead

started snowing again...apparently it's supposed to keep snowing till friday. (-_-) it's not that i dont love snow...because i do...it's just that the weather's been making me feel sick lately. it was freezing, snowing...then it started to get warmer and sunny a lot. the icicles were practically all gone, and now it's snowing again. /sigh. at least it'll cover up a bunch of the disgusting snow that's been around for a while now--that ugly dirty old frozen snow that wont melt cause it's not warm enough.

maaaaybe if it snows enough there wont be japanese class tomorrow. haha, if only..

i think this might be my outlet for venting and de-stressing this semester. since it turns out this is gonna be harder than i thought my last semester at skidmore would be. not that i thought it would be easy...

i feel very blah. i sit at my laptop with a stack of library books to the left, a book in my lap, documents open to type notes, and i just wanna dump it all and not do ANYTHING. lol. i'm tired of reading...i've been reading all weekend. i just finished a book i was supposed to have read over winter break and finished typing notes on it today. so now it's on to the next book.../sigh.

actually...if i could do anything right now, i'd probably just sleep. mmmm. sleep. i just want to pass out...have a mini coma...so that when i wake up i dont feel like smashing my alarm.



some way to greet the year
your eyes all bright and brimmed with tears
the pilgrims, pills, and tourist here
sink fifty three bucks to buy a brand new halo

sweet on a green-eyed girl
all fiery, Irish, clip and curl
all brine and piss and vinegar
i paid 25 cents to light a little white candle

and the world may be long for you
but'll never belong to you
but on a motorbike
when all the city lights blind your eyes tonight
are you feeling better now?

there is so much work to do this semester. -_-. my independent study adviser always says "oh well since your only other academic class is Japanese you have plenty of time for...". I think she underestimates senior Japanese classes, the work for the Asian studies seminar, and practice time for the two instruments I'm taking. AAAAAh.

so much reading/research to do for my thesis/capstone/final paper project thingy. this weekend's gonna SUCK. i need to hide myself away and read non-stop....except for when i need to practice violin and guitar and dance and pilates. blah.

anyways...guitar class is going well. apparently i'm not bad. well...i messed up my solo today a little. i literally zoned out WHILE i was playing. lol. therefore i lost track of where i was...the rhythm...etc. haha. still, he said i was in good shape. = P. and we're learning to play hallelujah...heh heh. cause i suggested it to the teacher when he asked what our class should play for the semester recital. muahaha.

whaaaat else. yup. anyways. lots of work. dance practice. etc.


top five tunes i've been listening to lately:

rufus wainwright - hallelujah
tommy heavenly6 - hey my friend
aerosmith - dream on
the decemberists - grace cathedral hill
wallflowers - i started a joke



p.s. - i watched vh1's 100 greatest songs of the 90s today on tv. it was awesome. lol....ah the memories.

bleh....tired a lot this semester
