It's midnight here, and in 9 hours I will board a train to New York City. I will arrive at least 12 hours later, tired, hungry, and very much in pain from sitting on my butt for an extended period of time. Why, you say, am I going through with such torture? Because I have a voucher worth $25 on Amtrak travel and I want...

Hello, hello. There's really nothing happening today. Classes are over until January. I read a neuroscience textbook in two sittings. Fascinating stuff, how the brain works, and what it does when things go wrong.

Going to NYC on Sunday. I'm in for a 12-hour train ride, which I've done a few times before and regretted. Good thing I bought some cheap computer games to keep...

i lived in a gehry home for a while. it was soectacular. you may wanna reconsider.

ive never spoken first person to my grandmother about her story. i get all my information piecemeal from other family members. i mean we talk about the nazis and we talk about how hard it was, but she doesnt talk about her experience. she looks at me and i can see the thin wall she has errected to hold back the pain in her eyes though.

Thank you, thank you, for your warm responses to yesterday's journal entry. That pink skirt is one of my favorites.

I had my last exam--botany--today, which was fairly straightforward. It's interesting to see professors who actually take the time to make exams more interesting than they usually are. For example, one question was: "Babe Ruth was able to hit 714 career home runs with his...

Exams cause stress, and that'll make you dream/think strange things... so don't feel too disturbed. smile

You're very welcome.

As for the vison, you're subconcious is probably trying to tell you something. What that might be, who knows, but don't worry, many subconcious symbols have different meanings than what we might normally attribute.

Thanks for the warm thoughts, folks. I'm studying now for my botany exam, and I'll check in later. Those of you who want to see the picture of me in the pink frilly dress raise your hand.. tongue

Just finished a phonetics exam, which was not particularly difficult. Only one left to go. biggrin

Not much is happening, I must say. I'm spending the weekend alone 'cause g/f is going home to her parents and dog. Which leaves me with not much to do except sleep. Sleep. mmmmm....

SGTO Bowling for Columbine 12/10:
You should have been there.

Two more exams and I'm free....to start worrying about how I'll avoid going back to the family in Brooklyn. Can someone come over and tie me up or something?

Can you place this quote?

community-based erotic photography Thats a good one! Ive been looking for a good definition for this site, when trying to tell people about it. It sounds kinda sleazy when you say youre a member in a porn site
anyway- the squat is awesome albeit very cold. But I can take it- Im hardcore! (or at least thats what Im telling myself when Im getting into my bed- fully dressed, with about 7 blankets) but hey- theres a drum room downstairs, and right now I couldnt care less about anything else. And its free, FREE I TELL YOU!!! MWAHAHAHA!!!
Awesome that youre coming to the city- we should hook up! Get some drinks, do some drugs, engage in some meaningless violence and scheme about taking over the world!!! Or we can go see a movie- up to you.
I understand the movie was good- was it fun meeting people from sg?
Awright- gotta get back to looking busy, doing work kinda- whatever
Later bro!
p.s.-awsome pic! smile

U of T. I can't remember my professor's name, but he was tough as hell.

!(squash == squid) !!!

Then again, I don't really like any meat so squid automatically loses.

Aie, good luck with the exam! I've got one today... and I slept not AT ALL last night, but nooOoo, I wasn't up studying, I was up being an insomniac and staring at my ceiling.

Good evening. Once again, Wednesday is over, and once again, I have mixed feelings about its departure. On the one hand, staying in school for classes until 9pm is annoying, to say the least, but on the other hand, it's on Wednesday's that I get to socialize with the little linguistics group I hang out with. Our latest endeavor is coming up with linguistic names...
