State of the Union
So I’m watching the State of the Union (on Youtube because TV is almost nonexistent in most residential colleges, it turns out). The major thing I notice, you ask? Whenever Obama talks about something traditionally Democratic (like the stimulus plan or protecting the environment), more than half the room stands and applauds. The rest are evidently Republicans who disagree, and who sit and...
Tumblr
I just realized that Tumblr is cooler than I thought it was. But this is not a place for my miles-long posts; this will be where I abbreviate everything like everyone else on Tumblr does.
…Starting now.

Full Circle
The first part of coming full circle that I just realized now is that Kim and I both watched movies we liked recently and Priscilla doesn’t like talking about sad stuff in blogs but I do for the exact opposite reasons she doesn’t.
Anyway. I watched Wall-E today, just now in Bio, and it was fantastic. I was giggling every five seconds and almost crying every five minutes. It’s...
I'm So Excited!
I’m back to repeating what I couldn’t stop repeating at my Barnard interview: “I’m so excited!” At the interview I said it partly because I was but partly just because I was nervous, but this time, I am genuinely really really excited. Oh my god, I am so excited, I am just so excited! Because now I get to start thinking about all my classes (woo-hoo, Intermediate...
What IS It?
What is it about family that screws some of us up so badly?
My soon-to-be college roommate, whoever it’s going to be, is going to despise my sloppiness because I grew up in a very sloppy household in which nobody really conditioned me to clean. I’m probably going to have love-life issues forever because of my daddy issues. My need to run away probably stems from my lack of extended...
What Was That?
There is so much you can learn from listening. Just listening, really good, listening between the lines. By looking back at how badly I’ve listened in the past, I see all the holes I coul’ve filled by being a better friend and all the stupid little things I said that I could have avoided saying because I know those stupid little things I said either did nothing to help or only made...
They Really DO Exist!
I always thought that I was doomed to have a tiny family, just me and the parental units, and half of a sister, haha. I mean, there are people I am related to that my mom sometimes revealed to me when I pried her for information about where I come from. But they had been out of my life since I had my own consciousness.
So it was a surprise to hear my uncle’s voice yesterday. He lives...

I'm Gonna Soak Up the Sun
…Gonna tell everyone to lighten u-up…
It’s exactly like being locked up in a dungeon, a dark abysmal hole, and then being given a free key out, and then opening the door gradually to a world of sunhine and happiness. Ecstasy, that’s what it is. That’s what it’s like when a summer-like spring finds its way to the dreary Bay. Even those who say they like the...

Round 2
OK, so somehow I managed to think I knew my login for my other new tumblr but I didn’t, so, this is round number 2. We’ll see how long it lasts.
Thanks Kim!!! You are very motivated about certain things, aren’t you now… how long did it take you to find that site? You’re awesome. (Let’s see how long the site lasts too.)
