Being at home, basically alone, has given me way too much time to have alone with my thoughts.
The slogan on the Facebook event page for my group of friends’ new years party read “The class of 09 brings in 09.” Everyone else seems so eager to ring in this new year, but I just can’t enjoy it. I have expressed to others my anxiety over 2009, my graduation year. I’m...

Puerto Rico, part 4
Today, Stacy and I woke up at around 10 am. We worked out with Maddy at the Fitness Center. Stacy and I did our cheer stretches, bridges and splits.
An older man who was stretching next to us talked to me after we were done. He teaches classes for the seniors, 75 years old and up. He complimented us on our stretches, asked how long we’d been doing them, and told us to keep doing it.

Puerto Rico, part 3
Stacy and I were woken up by her mom singing Rise and Shine to us at the ungodly hour of 8 am. As soon as she left, we fell right back asleep. We woke back up at 8:30 and got dressed at Usain Bolt speeds. Her family left at 8:35 to catch the 9 AM boat to the private island. We got ready in 20 minutes, left the villa ay 8:50 and gunned our little golf cart as fast as it could go. We got to the...

Puerto Rico, part 2
Today, Stacy and I slept in until 11:30. We were supposed to meet up with her mom, Samy and Maddy at the resort’s private island to check out the beach. We took the funicular down from the main hotel to the dock, and we were just about to miss the baot that was leaving for the island. As soon as the attendant put on my wristband, we ran to the boat.
I teased Stacy the entire way there that...

Puerto Rico, part 1
Right now, I am in staying at Las Casitas Village, which is part of El Conquistador Resort. I’m in bed, with the internet for once, while Stacy is in the shower. I’m in Puerto Rico with Stacy and her family.
We took a red-eye flight (read: torture) from LAX to San Juan, Puerto Rico on the evening of December 23rd, and we arrived on Christmas Eve morning, totally exhausted. None of us...

Me: Angela and Stacy go swimming.
Me: (in their really cute bikinis.)
Ben Barad: of course
Me: When they walk back to their villa, they put their shirts over their swimsuits so they don't have to walk back half-naked.
Me: Stacy and Angela decide to go for a walk.

Me: CAN'T be worn because the tanktop is wet and seethrough.

This website has recently taken over my life. →
Oh…did you think it was going to be a fun website?
Nooooooooooooooooooooo
I finished all my art supplements. I included the Resume, the Supplement, the List of Contents and Information, and slides/prints/CDs.
And then I realized for all the CDs I made, ONE of the images (a triptych of figure sketches) was a low-res images, instead of high quality.
I JUST sealed the envelopes…and I want to be DONE with these supplements.
I don’t want to open evey single...

On College
lgaba:
One year ago today was an absolutely terrible day.
Why, you ask? December 15th is the day when early college admissions decisions came out.
College admissions is the most horrifyingly random and screwed up process in existence. There is no way to reckon with it. It is truly one of the few things where it is impossible to apply reason or logic of any kind.
I remember this day so...
Awkward Monday: a comparison of definitions
Urban Dictionary’s definition:

December 15, 2008 was the day early decisions for colleges came out, resulting in tension between those who were accepted and those who were rejected. Feeling of awkwardness enhanced at one of the most...

My friends judge me.

Ben: [oblivious] What?

Joey: Hey Angela, is it true that Wheelock lost your essay so you gave her another copy, and then she graded them both and gave you two different grades?

Joey: Haha that's crazy.
Me: I mean, she was like nice about it and was like, "Oh you can keep the higher one!" ...but the higher one was still a C+ so...
Joey: I can't believe that...that's really funny.
