Quote of the Week
In light of the ginormous paper I'm writing this week...
"As long as war is regarded as wicked it will always have a certain fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar it will cease to be popular."

Love that Dirty Water
An unexplainable crack has caused a "catastophic leak" in Boston's major water supply pipe. Because of this, if we drink the water, we risk serious illness.
The pipe is pumping 8 million gallons of water into the Charles River per HOUR.
SWEEEEEEEEEEET. http://www.mwra.com/01news/2010/boilwaterorder1.htm
Everyone's out buying bottled water, but its running out pretty damn fast. I hope I don't get too thirsty :(
Perhaps this is a hoax created by the water bottle companies. They must be suffering from this whole "going green" trend. Hopefully that's all it is.
nice.
It's May!
Today is beautiful.
I have two weeks till graduation.
The sun is shining.
And all I have to do this week is...
write final exam papers. blech.
but I am also expecting a serious onset of allergies, like what happens every year during finals week, when the weather finally starts to get consistently beautiful.
HOWEVER, it is May, and I am almost done, and I will allow NOTHING to get me down, because soon enough I will be laying on a beach in the Bahamas with my best friend, without a care in the world.
Hooray!

Quote of the Week
I'm coming home from my hardest year.
I'm making plans not to make plans while I'm here.
And this life has been no holiday, a complicated situation.
I'm fine with all my memories,
still I could use vacation.

Neglectful
Sorry I've just been so busy lately that I haven't had time to even think about something interesting I could write about. In all honesty, my life is not that exciting at the moment anyways. But this week is the last week of classes, then I have a couple final assignments to do, and then 3 weeks from today is graduation!
Here's a list of some of the things I've been doing while I've been absent:
1. trying to be healthier, which includes
a. cooking my own food (I'll admit, I could have posted those recipes here because they were quite successful).
b. exercising a lot more (yoga and running). I am dabbling with the idea of training for a half marathon, which would be a challenge for me so we'll see.
2. Drawing lots of lifesize dinosaurs. My final review for drawing class is on Tuesday night, and I have to have ten drawings, 3 of which are lifesize drawings of my dinosaurs (my height, about 5'4).
That will take a huge weight off my shoulders because drawing class has been very time consuming, far more than my other classes.
3. Lots of reading and writing, but none of it for pleasure, except for the other day when I read part of a SHAPE magazine.
4. Trying to catch up on sleep and failing miserably, except for today when I got to sleep 12 hours!
5. Trying to spend as much time outside as possible before the allergy attacks begin.
6. Spending some quality time with my friends before I return to New Jersey indefinitely.
7. Tying up loose ends of all sorts, such as packing, doing some of the things I haven't had an opportunity to do during my time here (more on that later), or running errands like picking up my cap and gown ($75 for something I will only wear once! Ridiculous.), etc.
In regards to #1, my sister is a dietetics grad student at NYU right now, and she is having me write down everything that I eat for her and is helping me to fix my habits. She has a great blog that I would suggest you all check out:

She is much more consistent with her postings than I am, and I have learned a lot from it!
This is a picture of us. C'est cute.

Quote of the Week
We live in this culture where everything is supposed to be so hip and so cool, and it’s not cool to love, and it’s not cool to take care of each other, and it’s not cool to stand up for ourselves. But you know what? Fuck all of that. I believe in love, and I believe that the only way that we are going to survive this fucking craziness that’s going on in our world today is if we just learn to look at love, turn our heads the other way from all the bullshit, and fucking love.
