There Was a Little Girl, Who Had a Little Curl...

bring it on.

three wealthy sisters swore they'd never part:
Soul was(i understand)
seduced by Life;whose brother married Heart,
now Mrs. Death. Poor Mind
-e.e. cummings

i dont read lj much anymore or go online, hence i am completely out of the loop. but i think about all of you quite often and i hope everything is going well.

things for me are ok, which is better than they used to be. first semester has brought a lot of need for adjusting.

i realized the other day that every single thing i do is an attempt to reconcile my dreams with real life. that the vast majority of my actions, choices, plans are made with a goal in mind. i live my life striving toward something. and i also realized that there are people who dont live that way. and that seemed very odd to me.

also, i wrote a song. like, a real actual song. with a new friend who lives in the next suite over. we're in the recording process right now:)

so inevitably, someone will ask me some version of that question. and i know that when i actually get asked that, i wont be able to think of anything. but i know something now, and im recording it for posterity. 

a water filter. my roommate brought one and it was a very good idea that i had not even considered. without it, you spend a lot of money on bottled water and make lots of trash or you drink the tap water here. which tastes awful. a water filter and reusable water bottle is the way to go.

well, here goes.

so long.

im not lj friends with a lot of rising juniors, so please help me help them. 

i still have my physics notes, homework, review sheets, corrected quizzes, corrected tests, and wave tank lab notebook. all of this is super organized- color coded and everything. i remember how much junior year sucked, and am willing to loan this to whichever rising junior proves most worthy* for the year as a study guide. i only ask that they take very good care of it and return it to me at the end of the year, so i can continue to help out future juniors. if they are interested, please have them let me know asap- i leave for college on the 25th and would like to have it off my hands by then.

*by way of professions of love, baked goods, or simply being the first to contact me ;)

ps if theyre wondering, i had mr forbes.

pps its none of their business, but if theyre wondering- i got a b+ for the year. i had high a's for three of the four quarters, but i bombed the final. that wasnt my notebook's fault though.

talia won.

a little bird told me that math at uva is non-calculator at the lower levels. this makes me very confused and worried, as i am completely helpless at math without my calculator. i ask you, uva attendees, to come to my aid.

what could he possibly mean by "non-calculator?" does that mean you cant use calculators on tests, or at all, or what?

what defines a "lower level" math?

please tell me my little bird is wrong...

last night i had a dream about a paralyzed girl. she discovered to our astonishment that she could walk, but only when thinking about the man she loved. i was the only one who knew. i tried to tell the man she loved, but he didnt believe me. more details behind the cut, more because i feel like recording it than think it will be interesting.

vacation was really really fun. 

butbutbut..now im staring right at the college monster. and i dont want to face it yet.

i wish i could be more like ginny weasley.

like literally. its amazing. acting, ballet, the art of rock concert lighting, asl, and calc to keep me tied to my tj roots. 
and no classes before 10. and no classes after 2 on friday or monday.

only problem: having 10 minutes to get from the theater to cabell hall. uva folks, is that possible on foot?

and also, i want to take hip hop. they had a class at orientation...i figured they would offer it. but apparently not :(. perhaps something else, or maybe it exists in a noncredit fashion. we shall see.

i hope i fall in love with uva. it would make my life much simpler.

phil, i believe it is your bag that is still here. black sports bag, yeah.

annnd a nikon camera in a grey case.

come and get em, folks!

raise your hand if youve ever believed someone when they asked something "just out of curiosity."

yeah, me neither.


i love night and morning and evening. midday, not so much. this preference does not jive so well with living like a normal person, desafortunadamente. 

that is my favorite spanish word. to say, not to spell. next is trabajabamos.

i really like ee cummings. sometimes he befuddles me. i wish that uva offered an ee cummings analysis class.

come to think of it, there are a lot of things i wish uva offered....
im really not that happy about going there, guys. sorry to be the wet blanket. my prediction/hope is that ill get there and get settled in and fall in love with it. after all, i resented going to tj too, and thats what happened there...

staying up late to read harry potter has thrown off my sleep schedule and now i cant sleep and will be very tired tomorrow. 

does anyone need a fishbowl?

opinions greatly appreciated.

also, refrigerators? microwaves? are they worth bringing? if you had to choose one to bring, which would it be?

xtina and alex visited me at work today and made me feel oh so very loved.

love!

i work tuesday and thursday 3:30-9, so you guys should all come buy ice cream/get dinner! and tip me, please tip me...restaurants arent bound by minimum wage laws, you see...

got my dorm assignment...

good, bad, ugly? im thinking the A means building A on the map and hoping that the 1 means im on the first floor, but perhaps thats completely erroneous.

my fish died while i was in boston. i had just realized how much i loved the little guy. there was a long time when i resented having him, but in the past months ive enjoyed his company. he was a good pet. i like to think he died happy- he had a very clean bowl, newly changed water, and plenty of food. he lived for a pretty long time- ive had him for like two and a half years...so i think he died of old age. sad as it is, it was good timing. taking him to college was going to be very difficult.

in other news, boston was fun. i got my cartilage pierced!

also, COME VISIT ME AT THE SWEET LIFE. COME. VISIT ME. AT. WORK. im there 3-8ish or 9ish today, except for theres a meeting that starts at 4. so dont come like 4-5ish. COME GET ICE CREAM!!! its actually very high quality stuff...we make our own and give you about twice as much as baskin robbins would. here, ill make it really easy for you.

3950 Chain Bridge Rd
Fairfax, VA 22030
thats the address. its in the lower floor of what looks like a really big old house. COME BUY ICE CREAM FROM ME!!!

leave tomorrow for boston, get back sunday nightish. byebye!

this is one reason why although im getting paid absolutely nothing, my job is not that

some of you saw this on facebook, but i wanted to post it here too. 

alex and i went to this last night and it was really, really fun- the music/dancing was just like the awesome sochops of old. but it had nice decor and a lounge area on top of that. by like 9/930 the place was packed and everyone was dancing and it was soooo fun! so! more people i know need to come. im thinking, get a group together? whose interested?
