3. pushing a child on a swing set
4. a desire to listen to songs about summer
5. sandals and lacey ballet flats without cold toes
6. the earthy smell when I open my window

8. an appetite for salads and other foods […]

Packing, Reminiscing, and Cheesiness.
Exams are done, people are packing, and the world as we know it has come to an end.
OK…maybe not the whole world. Not the whole thing, in its entirety. But like, mostly. As far as the people at MTA are concerned an enormous wave of change has just swooped quietly into the town and overwhelmed […]

A lighter mood
Every weekday this semester my beautiful friend A (I’m sucking up for having posted that awful pic of us in the snow on Easter. We look like we’re 8 years old. We’re at least 9 1/2) and I have shared babysitting duties, picking up a prof’s 6 year old son J, and occasionally his older […]

How does this keep happening? What makes a person angry/hurt/rejected to such an extent that they would murder another human being, let alone 33 other human beings? And why is it always in schools that this type of massacre occurs? They know that it has happened before, each and every one of those […]

Human Rights For All
Today I signed on with the Make Poverty History campaign as part of the United Nations Millennium Summit promises of 189 countries, including Canada, to reduce poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women. I’ve already signed similar campaigns involved in trying to make the countries involved stick to their word, and make […]

When all the world is sleeping
I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately. Mind you, I can sleep until noon if given the chance. It’s very difficult to explain how you can be both an insomniac and the kind of person who dreams of bed, and when in bed dreaming, dreams of the next time she can be in back in that […]

An example of all the fun I am having right now:
No, I am not in the presence of a strange woodland creature and a small flying infant, while I, myself, am naked. I am studying Greek Art. Which is beautiful, and interesting, yada yada, but very boring to memorize.

dopey mopey no more
Thinking about this coming summer makes me more excited than any summer has for a few years.
I couldn’t have imagined I would be so enthusiastic for the unknown, but it’s exhilarating. I don’t know where I’ll be working, so I’m not excited about a specific job; I’m excited about NOT knowing where I’ll be […]

No Easter bonnets/frills ’round these parts
A bunny for Easter:
This was taken on Christmas day two years ago, but I thought it was more seasonally appropriate than the actual easter we experienced.The Easter Bunny brought us snow for Easter. THREE FEET OF SNOW.
