I have severe grass is always greener syndrome. I look forward to trips then long to sleep in my own bed the whole time. I order one dish at a restaurant and instantly regret all the others I didn’t get. I look at other people and ruminate endlessly about how whatever their situation is, it’s [...]

I’m alive. I promise. This weekend, after staying up for 24 hours on Friday (not. ok.), I started the week feeling like the three weeks I had left of Institute would be ENDLESS. ENDLESS I tell you!
However, after getting the afternoon off yesterday (Happy TFA Day!), which then allowed me to get four hours of [...]

For the last few days, I’ve been essentially stranded at my grandparent’s house in San Diego, my car sitting outside, taunting me, unable to be driven due to an out-of-date license plate. While waiting for my new license plate to arrive, I’ve been attempting to make the most out of my free time – scheduling [...]

This weekend I went to Vegas. This weekend I met 25 (give or take) of the most awesome 20-somethings on the planet. This weekend, I made some new, amazing, ridiculously wonderful friends. This weekend was completely made possible by the internet.
Crazy, right?
Although I don’t think I can do justice to the weekend on my own, [...]

This week has been …a little weird. Last Friday, I drove up to Boston for my best friend, Jillian’s, birthday weekend. This was my first trip back since finishing school in December, and I didn’t think it would feel that different to be back. I’ve only been away for a month and a half. I [...]

(To catch up on my recaps, start here And now, the adventure continues:
Saturday was a big day for us. We started out in the morning by heading to Victoria Market in the heart of Melbourne. It’s a huge outdoor market with anything you can think of: food, clothes, shoes, jewelry, souvenirs, bags, and hats. It [...]

I can’t believe it’s a new year already. 2008 was sorta craptastic, not gonna lie. Sure, there were fun times, but as a whole, not gonna miss this year.
New Year’s has become one of those holidays that always sounds better in theory than it ends up being in practice. Last year, I spent New Year’s [...]

I really fell off the NaBloPoMo wagon quickly, didn’t I? I blame me wanting to soak up every last moment of my last week of college. I’ve done pretty well so far. Saturday, we had a special Saturday taping of “Bay Sate” followed by a read-through slash viewing party that ended with Jillian, Josh, and [...]

I don’t usually do weekend recaps, but this one was pretty eventful, so maybe I’ll start.
Friday I slept in til noon, because I’m lazy and because it’s my only sleep-in day. I made mself some french toast, so obviously, the weekend was off to a winning start. I hung around in my apartment, working on [...]

Well, lazy for the fact that I slept in until noon, but given the fact that I didn’t go to sleep until around 3, that isn’t too bad.
For the rest of the day, however, I have to write at least ten pages of my one-act play, attend sorority chapter (or make a decision to skip [...]
