So Far…

College is…trade offs. It’s more freedom with less stability. The opportunity to eat S’mores Poptarts, unhindered by anything but my slightly pretentious ethics teacher, but no place to toast them properly. It’s a growing number of quiet places to study coupled with a diminishing expectation of peace in my own room.
And paradoxes… A longing for [...]

Babysitting. My Life Is Average.

Today, I babysat a girl who is usually quite rude. She was not rude today. I did not spit in her milk.
Today, I babysat a five year old who sharted. I do not get paid enough for this.
Saturday, a six year old gave me a bead necklace she had made. It matched my dress. I’m wearing [...]

A Stunning Blow to My Impetus

It appeared at 2 a.m. this morning, blatantly announcing its presence and positively buzzing with the awareness that I was helpless to defeat it. I looked at it and it looked back knowingly. I sighed and accepted defeat moments before it delivered the crushing blow I had seen coming all along.
It’s funny, you can never [...]

Sigh

I promised to post, and, well, I suppose I do have something to say, but it’s a little… angsty. I apologize.
So, this weekend was the MarMonte Speech League’s state qualifying tournament. I spent last week preparing for this so as to make up for last weekend’s bitter (and still somewhat contested) debate loss.  But alas, [...]

Hello there, it’s been a while.

It has recently been brought to my attention that I haven’t blogged for almost four months.

I apologize to those whom I have evidently disappointed for so long (Michael), and can offer only my [...]

An Interesting Question

What makes you unique? What is your “internal essence”?
 
Hell if I know Mr. Geib. As it was once said of Doctor Who I find the only constant in my life is change (yes, I did just compare myself to the last time lord, I suppose that should tell you something about my “internal essence”). [...]

Oops, Sorry, My Idealism Is Showing Again.

Whilst working on my AP Government “Scavenger Hunt” today I stumbled upon “The Ventura Atheists Meetup Group”.  This seemed silly to me on several levels. My first thought was “What do they talk about, their lack of faith? How hard it is to avoid the faith?” As I perused the sight further I did actually [...]

¿Un Problema?

After getting through a particularly difficult math problem yesterday I found myself fighting the urge to sing the congratulatory Dora the Explorer song. Why is that? Esther suggested that perhaps it was the result of my regular babysitting schedule for children under the age of five but is that really enough to make the average [...]

Old Habits Die Hard

Christ on a bike I hate college. Or rather I love the idea but hate the reality of college (finding one that’s right for me, scholarships, the applications process, the reality of rejection).  More than anything I think I just want someone to explain everything to me. I don’t mind writing the scholarship essays or filling out [...]
