I quit NaNoWriMo. It was killing my soul to do it and it's killing my soul not to do it, but I had to choose the path that would prevent me from causing physical harm to inanimate objects during Thanksgiving break. In a strange turn of events, I've been doing a whole ton of other writing, which...
Studio Dress was yesterday--the Nutcracker has finally been assembled! Now come the daily run-throughs. Maybe I'll put a schedule up of what we did during Studio Dress, but now I want to talk about my friend's birthday and what's going to happen today. So my friend turned twenty! It was incredibly...
The weather = gorgeous. Despite the rain, I've been enjoying the great outdoors because it's been warm enough to venture out in jeans and short sleeves. And since the rain held off last night, it was just about perfect for roasting marshmallows! S'mores? In a residence hall? Sort of. I've...
So, what's the deal with Movement Choir? I know I've mentioned it several times, but I've not explained anything to you. That's because: A. I'm lazy and it takes some explaining; B. I wanted to wait until after the show so I could tell you how it went; and C. It feels like all I've...

Well, August is here and that means I have less than a month left in my off-campus house before I pack up and head back to Pi Phi for the school year! After a very very busy week at work for IndyFringe, I had quite a relaxing weekend, enjoying my house and some of my friends' places off-campus. August...
Although I’ve been back in the States for about two months now, I still find myself thinking about study abroad on almost a daily basis. Almost everything reminds me of something from Spain. I talk about my experience in my classes all the time! It is ridiculous how much you can learn about the...

Well, it's finals week here and I have been studying so hard the last few days! I actually only slept for 2 hours between Sunday and Monday... you know, just a little catnap on my couch in between finishing a research presentation and cramming for my gender psych exam! But, Monday went well and now...
