athene: (Sokka - Boomerang)
In the past two days I have found two things:

First when moving shit around in my room in my mother's house I found my papers from England and some from my first year of college. Included in these papers were two that were very dear to me. The first was a paper I wrote while in England on Wicca. It was my first exploration into Paganism and opened up my eyes to what I'd always felt but hadn't known existed. The second and even more awesome find was the radio play that I wrote first semester of my first year. Since my computer had crashed at the beginning of my junior year and I had brought all the papers from my first year to New Orleans I thought that neither a digital or hard copy of that paper existed anymore. But mom brought it upstairs before Katrina and it was in my room. This whole time. It's like the best find ever in the entire world. I even wrote about how I was said I didn't have this paper anymore in the paper I wrote for my Digital Records class last semester.

With my 10 year HS reunion I've been slightly stalkerish in my attempt to find some of my old friends from high school. Yesterday I tracked down one of my best friends through MySpace and I just now found out she 1) has a livejournal ([livejournal.com profile] iskanderia) and 2) is moving to Austin to go to grad school at UT. How totally crazy is that???

Right, off to edit paper. And by edit I mean take two totally different papers and mush them together.

Two of the Five Colleges in the Pioneer Valley in MA are accepting displaced students.

Smith College

UMass Amherst

I currently live in the Northampton/Amherst area and while it isn't New Orleans, it's not a bad place. Pretty good for college students (the food isn't as good though). I'll warn you that it can get pretty damn cold though.

But if some of y'all do come up this way, please contact me.

it starts on my left arm with yellow and orange, then to orange and red (upper arm), then to red and purple (on my back&tummy), then purple and blue (on my back&tummy) then to blue and green on my left upper arm, then to green and yellow.

(there have been pictures taken)

Well, today I tried to donate blood, but since I was in England for 9 months and they have the whole Mad Cow disease thing, they disqualified me. At least I got a sticker that says, "Be nice to me too...I tried."

In other news, I have been very very busy lately b/c I have 2 tests this week, a test monday, and a presentation a week from friday. ahhhh. going to go insane.

Things with the others are doing well. Had a LONG talk with Aerith after V-day. Things are much better now and we are trying to be more thoughtful and caring about each other. Yesterday he bought me a teal nose-stud. My favorite color! the one color that i've been dying for (I ruled out black b/c it would just look like a large pimple *G*).

Must go read about Motzart and then listen to/watch The Marriage of Figarro. Yay.

Well...I did it. I bought my cap and gown. They are black. Which is cool. But another color would have been nice too. Now to find something to wear for Ivy day. hmm...maybe i'll just construct a greek peplos. yeah. that would be cool :)

This whole thing is kind of scary. Ok, really scary. I'll miss being a Smithie sooo much. I can't believe it's almost over. EEKKKKKK.

Must calm down. Will be fine. Life will be ok. I'll do fine whatever I do.

Now, does anyone know of a nice cardboard box in an ally full of cats where it doesn't rain too much where i can take up residence in may?

At SLC

Well, I spent the night at Sarah Lawerence College w/Cimmy last night.. It was actually really nice. We bought a rug for her room in NYC and it looks great. Also, her roomate's parents bought them a self-inflating airmatress. It's really cool and pretty damn comfy. I am glad that i brought my sleeping bag also because it made a nice comforter.

First-years are first-years where ever they are. I think it's worse at SLC b/c they have first-year housing. I really like the way that Smith has all classes living together.

There were these two boys who were around last night who are in the first SLC all boys acapella group. They were singing some stuff. It was really good. Then they sang "Baby Got Back" it was too funny!!!

I think that Cim is going to do really well here. She totally fits in!!!!!

Oh, I forgot to mention that when I got back from the musuem the other day there were these two girls and their parents in the lobby of the apartment building. The older girl (who was probably around 6) was lifting her purple poncho up to her face and saying "I'm a vampire." I just happen to have my teeth with me, so i put them on. Then I turned the the girl and said "How do you know I'm not one too?" She was very impressed with my teeth. So were her parents. They said that they only had the wax ones for their daughters. Then they asked me if I was pagan. I said that I was, but that it was not related to me having the teeth. They mentioned that they wandered into a Pagan Pride Festival a week ago or so.

my mommy's here!!!

my house

my house is ok, but sometimes i feel that i have no real friends here. It seems like everyone is always hanging out with everyone else and i am just left out of the loop. i think that Liz is a friend and so is Lauren, but they are first-years and i feel like the senior (even though i'm a junior) who makes friends with the freshman because she doesn't have any friends her own age. i felt like that in highschool too. it really sucks. i keep thinking about moving houses, but i like my room and i like the fact that we have a elevator. and the people are nice, i just don't feel espically close to any of them.

When i get this way I just want to go over to jonathan's house. which i guess makes it worse. i'm never around so i get excluded so i leave more and i'm never around. it was a lot worse last year. then i felt really isolated. i really should spend more time on campus, but then the whole cycle starts over again and i run away. grrrr.

i really should get back to reading. If i get it over tonight i can start on work for Greek and Roman Drama. Just thirty more pages, probably an hour of time. I hope jonathan calls soon. i want to go sleep there, but i know that it's not a good idea.

back to work.
