I've come in contact with a number of bugs I've never seen before since moving into my basement apartment. There may even be a few species that have never been identified. Particularly the grandaddy longlegs (insert shudder here).
Today during break Chrys and I headed to the courtyard where the Latin American Association was putting on music and food. I know I'm going to sound shallow when I say this, but I'm human, and HOLY MOLEY talk about some eye candy. I will say to the end that Latin men who know how to dance are damn sexy, and all kinds of music was played: Cuban, Mexican, Colombian, etc....it was a good break before plunging back into the world of psycho babble.
I think that's about it. I'll post some more later this week.
Hasta luego-
Bio lab in 15mins.
Ah, lets see, Tuesday night a friend and I went to see Jesse Jackson speak in Columbus. I was glad to have the opportunity to hear him speak. And it was worth the drive down. He has a very powerful voice and spoke on some important issues that people, especially students, need to hear.
What else. I haven't been riding much lately because of the weather. Which is a REAL bummer. Hopefully it'll be sunny for a little bit before the next hurricane hits the states. There are some rays peeking through the windy sky today...fingers crossed.
Welp, that's about it for now. I'll get back on the flip side sometime next week. Ciao
well, Atlanta is slowly recovering from our little blustery day...there are street lights out all over the place...I'd hate to see it if there was a REAL storm to pass through...would probably cause some mass hysteria...people already have no clue how to drive in RAIN! oh God, rain...emergency flashers ON....essentially BLINDING the rest of us who have seen precipitation before...come on PEEPAL!!
hah...ok, rant #1 for the day...that felt good. you know how on the back of shampoo it says "rinse and repeat"...well that was my first rinse...
I think that during my move I missed the fall fashion memo...darn. Well, I spent most of my short at-home morning wondering if linen is out yet...I think it IS, and considered phoning a more-informed-on-fashion-rules friend ...but decided he wouldn't be up at 7am, and grabbed my favorite shirt anyway, justification found in that I KNOW business women who wear linen jackets to work all year, so it must be ok on Sept 8 to bring along the article of clothing that has been like a safety blanket all summer...then after I got to school, I realized I must have missed the COLD WEATHER memo...DRAT! b/c most of GSU is bundled up...seirously now, sweaters? Do we think it WON'T be excrusiatingly warm in a week or so???...hello hello...it's just rain, it's just September. Calm thyselves. I momentarily considered going home and putting on closed toe shoes just to fit in, but then saw a pacific islander with flip flops on so I didn't feel left out, and then I thought, hell, this is A-T-L, even if "The Metro" spot me, who cares...even I dont have to care. I love it here!
Well, I've been a real slacker about this website. Mainly I just try to make it more navigable for me. Selfish indeed. I've come across a load of great quotes in music lyrics. I'll have to add them in soon.
Last weekend I stayed in Columbus, the first in a while that I haven't been traveling here and there Friday-Sunday...very nice...but, this weekend I believe I must make the rounds to SC to see my dear Papa, who is in the hospital recovering from yet another hip surgery, then plan to be back in Columbus Saturday night if all goes well, for a holiday par-t at Waynes...that should be fun...plenty of food, spirits, and socializing.
Guess that's about it for now, this is Rach, signing off.
a brief update: The Houston trip was a blast. Despite a flat tire outside of Mobile the drive to Baton Rouge last Wednesday was fun...actually even the flat tire part was hilarious. Arrived in Houston Thurs and toured the downtown area, ate dinner with Mikes parents and bedded down for the night. Friday spent the entire day at very sunny Galveston Beach, wore ourselves out playing in the (very choppy) water, and got a good tan (woohoo). Saturday night we had tickets to the Astros game, compliments of Mike's uncle Kontrimas (that name is so cool). The 12hr drive home on Sunday was a little rough, but we made it safely. I've been tired the past couple of days but thanks to youth am slowly getting back in the swing of things.
Still waiting for the apt to become ready...I'm tired of driving! The life of a procrastinator who is also the offspring of a slight procrastinator (haha...no really my mom is swamped all the time so I dont mind, shes a real blessing of a mother) Hopefully will be moved into something by the end of next week or shortly after Labor Day. My classes are naturally awesome...the instructors all seem great. I'm looking forward to the semester (and spring/graduation, finally). I'll try to post some pictures soon-
ciao-
