Wow. It’s getting really difficult to stay calm.We have just waved off three of ‘the Clan’ (with a ‘C’ as Ariel specified) and now it’s just Nina and I left. She’s leaving tomorrow morning and I’m leaving tonight at 6pm. There is something strange about this fact.I remember Da telling me once [probably after the […]
It’s almost unfair.I feel like my time here was full of awesomeness, a great group of new friends and artists, people who really understand me (and if they don’t, it didn’t matter because we got along anyway). Now so many people are talking about leaving and it is very depressing. So I just had to […]
Heathy, you probably won’t read this [until I tell you to on Facebook], but I love you. You made my day with your post about love and so I wanted to return the favor with a tribute post.I really want to be a little more free. And that’s sort of what I’ve been doing here […]
This place has gotten so comfortable that I’m playing music over and over again in my head and singing it out loud at random intervals. I think I’ve become slightly creepy.I know that I always take the time to tout the merits of being here, but I’ve just realized that there is always something to […]
I am going to take a moment to appreciate diversity among people at length [not just in the racial sense, but from what I’ve seen just living here]. I have met…– A dark skinned Guiana girl who is of Indian descent with the last name ‘Singh’ (indicating Sikh) who is really Hindu but her family […]
I know.Sometimes it’s completely wonderful to spend a weekend away from yourself. Away from all the little opinion pieces floating around in your head, narrating your life as if you were some sort of child and needed to be directed at every turn. Eat this, don’t touch that, be careful! Things aren’t so much different […]
The Fourth of July is not really my favorite holiday. Mainly because we don’t do much in our house to celebrate that type of thing. But this Fourth of July is even worse.My debit card expired about a month ago (and apparently the new card came in but NO ONE TOLD ME). So now I […]
I have printed my first assignment, gone on my first excursion, attended my first production meeting, and done my first load of laundry at Barnard College! [mostly in one day]I don’t know why, but these little milestones like moving in and sleeping my first night with a roommate and working out in the Columbia fitness […]
Ta da! I am still alive after a trip to New York (a shockingly smooth and timely flight o_o) and now I’m rockin’ away at my dorm in Barnard [Sulzberger Hall].Strangely, it was a pretty easy transition. Ruby’s house was cozy (and cold because we were in the basement) even though the outside was humid […]
Well, today we are leaving for New York and Barnard pre-college is on the ample horizon. After having a fresh bout of apathy, I’m hoping this trip jogs me into finishing all the million-and-one things I have to do. Goals For The Next Two Months:– Research and finish big scholarship entries– Davidson Fellows– Young Epidemiologist […]
