Succession

Things I apparently can't handle in succession:

1. Chemistry midterm

2. Staying up all night writing a really bad paper that I still have to work on today.

3. Watching young roma girls being sexually assualted via film in my slavic class.

4. Turning to my right after watching said traumatizing acts and realizing that the boy next to me is chewing tobacco during it and spitting it into his coke bottle.

5. Trying to open the doors to Smith Lab and realizing they are locked due to construction and wandering around the building for 10 minutes to find my scholarship room.

6. Going on a "visit" in my scholarship to teach children about science projects that I haven't gone over yet.

I have been awake 28 hours.

That's about all.

Gentle Face

This conversation really happened while I was buying a falafel last night

Random drunk male:

"I like your face.."

"You have a gentle face"

"I like your red stockings, too."

"Tell me when this is getting weird."

Me-

"It's getting weird."

It's time to carve pumpkins soon :) I'm going to just get a little baby one at the grocery store. There's no sense in carving a large one only to watch it be beaten to pieces. If it was large I just might become too attached to see it go like that. I think I'm one of the few people in this world that could actually be remorseful over a pumpkin. Next post I'll have a picture of the little guy.

All Delighted People

I just adore this song. I can't stop. I sit here and pretend that someone is singing this to me and it makes me feel better. I know, I know...

And while I held you at best you nearly died

Forget about the past

And I'll try to make things right

I am so overwhelmed with school, it never ends. I feel like every quarter I say this but I really mean it this time. I don't fall asleep until 5 every night mostly because of the coffee I've been drinking but also because of how cold my house is, the fact that Little Bar produces millions of empty beer bottles every night and throws them in the dumpster next to my window at 4am, and the fact that my neighbor starts his janky car at 5am to go to work at UPS. Sigh? I would love very much to post something worthy of your time to read but I'd really rather just rant right now.

My landscape architecture class requires me to pay a weekly visit to the ghetto to take pictures and form some hypothesis for why it sucks...I could tell them why it sucks just driving by in my car but I think I would get a D. Here's a photo from a very stressed out small girl, enjoy:

Oh, heyy Hilltop, don't mind me or anything...

Pet Peeve

The new Sun Chip bags are 100% compostable and environmentally friendly and lovely, etc.; however, they are obscenely loud. I've seen commercials for them but I hadn't actually purchased them with the new packaging until yesterday. Seriously, you couldn't take this bag anywhere. I'm going to carry it out with me on the weekends as a self-defense alarm while I'm walking back home at night.

I don't mean to rag on a company that is doing good things for the environment but anyone who actually knows me will tell you that the sound of a rustling chip bag is a huge pet peeve of mine. Yikes, Sun Chips.

Orchard Wedding

I want one someday, you know.
