So I received an e-mail from my mother earlier tonight, the gist of which was the following: any interest in going to Denmark? What the hell is up with my life?!? And if I can't switch exam days so I can do this, I will be very sad. | | Saturday, June 27th, 2009 | | 6:10 pm |
not dead. May I just say how much I love having warm weather in the summer, and people with whom to play frisbee and field crumpets, and a great area for biking, and... yay. One of the goals for this summer is to get myself into the best shape I've been in since cross country. So far, I've been pleased with the progress :D | | Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 | | 1:16 am |
"Meltdown on Mulberry Street"
Game 5 OT aside, I was to busy to watch Devils playoffs this semester. And now it's too late. I asked my friend since when did my team's defense suck, and he immediately (correctly responded), when did Scott Stevens retire.
::sigh:: It's been a bad year so far for my sports teams.
Go Boston and Canucks I guess.

apparently sometimes subtlety is just unintentional messages sent while tripping balls | | Thursday, March 19th, 2009 | | 8:31 pm |

briefly
So I got a message back from my abroad program. They said they didn't want me. Luckily, my advisor was involved in the decision and knows the reason: there's a minimum 3.0 in-language requirement. I've got a 2.9. Fucking fuck fuck. He's double-checking to see if I could do something such as take a summer course to make up for it. So maybe it's a good thing I didn't have summer plans lined up yet? Balls. | | Friday, February 13th, 2009 | | 2:51 am |
totally sober right now... | | Monday, February 9th, 2009 | | 1:12 pm |
SO FINALLY
Application to go to Kyoto is officially DONE! As in the big checkmark on the CUAbroad website has been checked. Which means that I actually will get a decision on this, and may or may not ACTUALLY go to Japan next fall. We shall see about these things. I do have more news, livejournal, but I don't really feel like writing it for now. I will say that I'm sort of surprised which classes I'm enjoying this year. And I am still enjoying Japanese, I've found, even if I'm still not very good at it. Maybe that will change, maybe not. ::le shrug:: | | Sunday, December 21st, 2008 | | 3:14 am |
An ancient lj meme
( check your calendars )I'll say this as a hope, in my last days as a teenager: hopefully I've learned something from all this. Hopefully I can become the mature, caring person I'm supposed to be, now that the whole "awkward teen" phase is being dragged kicking and screaming into the past. To anyone who reads this, thanks for listening, for being my friend, and I wish you the best in the new year. Oh, and happy winter. If Ithaca's snow pattern so far is any indication, it's going to be a good one. | | Thursday, December 18th, 2008 | | 5:07 pm |
Hey Internets! anybody know a good way to sell back books your school store won't take? Like an internet wholesaler or something? | | Monday, December 15th, 2008 | | 11:45 pm |
Life Accomplishments
1) Got a 60 on a final exam! WOOOOOOO! Seriously. Don't know what to do about this. It was in Japanese. There is no chance of a curve. It was the worst grade in the class. What the fuck do I do? | | Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 | | 11:00 am |
I got to call the police yesterday. Our television at my house was stolen, and I was the first to notice it, so I got to call, and then have a nice friendly conversation with a few officers about how there's basically a snowball's chance in hell at getting it back. You know, as much as police are helpful, and often very friendly in their line of work, I hate having these conversations. This is the second time I've had to talk to police this year, and while this one was a lot easier and under better circumstances than the last, it still sucked pretty hard. I hope that, if any of you have to have these sort of conversations, they are few and far between. | | Sunday, November 16th, 2008 | | 2:36 am |
who stopped two lanes of 5th avenue midtown traffic, and then shut down 40-something street for a while? This guy! Sy Katz is the coolest person ever. | | Friday, November 7th, 2008 | | 4:03 am |
I think rocky horror may be the worst thing academically, but the best thing socially, that has ever happened to me. That is all. | | Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 | | 5:32 pm |
Some other things besides prop. 8 to be concerned about: Arizona and Florida both voted to ban gay marriage. Arkansas voted overwhelmingly that gay couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt (seriously, WTF). Good news: California and South Dakota voted down abortion limits, and Colorado voted no on defining human life as the moment of conception (you can put that up to a vote?) Washington, with 56% of precincts reporting, approves overwhelmingly of doctor-assisted suicide. Dr. Kavorchian must be so proud. Michigan has now also approved of medical marijuana. Nebraska voted to end affirmative action. Colorado is in almost a dead heat on the issue. So, stranger things than Prop. 8 and electing a black president happened last night. | | Sunday, November 2nd, 2008 | | 3:46 pm |
reasons I love "True Blood", #1
For context, Bill Compton is a vampire, and this takes place in the deep south. Little kid: Bill, why can't you eat ice cream? Bill: Well, you might say that I'm "lactoste intolerant." Little kid: Just like my Aunt Verne. 'Cept she can't tolerate mexicans. Vampires in the deep south. Awesome. | | Monday, October 27th, 2008 | | 1:17 am |
Wish I had time to talk right now, but I have to catch up on work (what's new?). I'm back from Canada, I marched at a CFL game in front of 20k people, and that is really friggin cool. Let me just say, Quebec is a really weird place, and canadian football is equally weird. Seriously, stick to hockey guys. You did well creating that sport, at least. I'm really glad I went away though. I was starting to feel depressed, and now I feel less so. There can be a lot of love around here if you open your eyes and know where to look. I just have to learn to be comfortable with what I have, and stop getting so concerned about what's ahead. For now, that should be enough. | | Friday, October 17th, 2008 | | 3:38 am |
new entry in the "WTFscapade parade" | | Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 | | 11:43 pm |

So, today is Yom Kippur. Most of you know what that means. Those of you who don't, the day is about attempting to repent for past sin throughout the year, and attempting to ask forgiveness, both of heaven and of each other. It also means fasting for a day, which is a great reason to not do work and to instead focus on the past. The year has... well, it's certainly been interesting. A lot has happened, a lot has changed. It's hard for most of it to pick out certain situations and say, "this I did right, this I did long." The entirety of it has been a learning experience, and for that I am grateful. But, going through this holiday year after year, I find that it's much easier to ask forgiveness for actions. It's much more difficult to think about what you've thought, those private sins you've committed, intentionall or unintentionally, in the way you think about the world. It is difficult, approaching impossible, to treat everyone fairly in your mind, even if you somehow manage to do right by them in the world. It's harder to admit to yourself that you screwed up when you know for a fact you're the only one who knows so (besides god, of course...) My mom just got out of surgery a few days ago. It's been in the works for almost a year, it had to be done, and we've all known it would be coming. Thankfully, she's fine, home, and doing well. I realize, though, that while I've been outwardly supportive, I haven't given this event the credence it deserves. My mother was very scared to do this, and rightfully so, I realize; it's terrifyingly dangerous to go into surgery, no matter what it is. I was there when she called, I was supportive when I realized, but it wasn't until I talked to her the night before that it really hit me. Before that, it just felt like lip service. A sin we probably all commit to often: failing to tell our loved ones how much we care about them. I love my mother, my father, both of my sisters, my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, an amazing amount, but I almost never say so. I feel so blessed and lucky that all four of my grandparents are alive, yet I haven't seen my grandmother on mom's side in almost a year. Time flies by so quickly that you miss out on these things. I pray that, this year, I'll have enough thought and foresight to realize what i'm missing, and speak and act to what I'm feeling. I hereby forgive all who have hurt me, all who have done me wrong, whether deliberately or by accident, whether by word or deed, May no one be punished on my account. As I forgive and pardon fully those who have done me wrong, may those whom I have harmed forgive and pardon me, whether I acted deliberately or by accident, whether by word or deed. |
