Frienster?

Okay, so in response to the new Facebook crisis, I have made a friendster account. It is really boring and I don't have any more than the basic info on it because I can't find anyone I know on it (although I have not tried very hard, so don't be offended). It is also possible that I'm just addicted to making online accounts for myself. In any case, please friend me at frienster in the event that Facebook is a bust.

I am going to Jersey tomorrow!! I won't be at Princeton until Friday though. Can't wait. Now I have to finish cramming my underwear into my suitcase.

Friday I'm in Love

So now I am all packed and basically waiting around for the airplane to take off. The good news is that I have more things to do tomorrow than I can possibly do in a day, so that will surely make time pass even faster. I arrive at Princeton on Friday.

I pretty much hate facebook right now. Seriously, what are they thinking? Who wants or needs to know that much about everyone? No one. I am going to give them a week or so to see if they will change it back after they realize that everyone hates it. Then I am going to start taking drastic measures. Like deleting almost all of my profile. Or completely removing myself from facebook. I hope it doesn't get so bad that I have to remove myself, but I feel violated by this development.

Time is running out!!

I just realized as I was driving back from the far side of Chapel Hill that I have only a few years left where I can stay awake late into the night thinking about the nebulous blob known as the future. I feel as though after my undergraduate years end the future that I've always thought of as The Future will be here, and then I won't be able to lie awake at night thinking about it because I'll be too tired from trying to live it during the day. 50/50 chance that that sentence is totally garbled because I'm tired.

I just watched The Squid and the Whale. It was pretty good in an indie-flick sort of way, so if you like that kind of thing, I would definitely recommend viewing it. It has some pretty funny moments. I will say that it's probably not a good idea to watch it with people who make you feel awkward because it is a very awkward movie. Then again, I think a lot of life is pretty awkward-feeling, so perhaps that is just my personal interpretation.

Four days to the bubble.

Jury's still out...

The jury is, indeed, still out on how I feel about Orbit's new Lemon Lime gum flavor. On the one hand, I kind of feel like I'm chewing Pine-Sol. On the other hand, it is refreshing. I have the rest of the pack to figure out if I actually like it or not.

Last night I went flipping through all my old journals. I wrote a lot. I went through a phase where I wrote every single night, religiously, even if it were just a sentence. I had no idea that I had accumulated that many pages of journal entries. I was reminded of various periods of my life that I had conveniently forgotten, either because they were embarrassingly boring or embarrassingly adolescent. I pretty much never write any more. Except to blog. Lucky you.

In other news, five days left. I still have some packing left, a hair appointment, and a physical. And I have to go make prints in the dark room at DA. And sleep before the semester starts and I don't do that anymore.

Whoops

Haven't posted in, uh, a week or so. Here is the quick run-down of everything that happened:
1. My birthday

Okay, that is pretty much it, I think. On my actual birthday I went to a Durham Bulls game with Andy and his friends. On Thursday I went to Top of the Hill with Ellen, Elizabeth, and Kerry. And then Saturday night I stayed with Ellen at UNC. So that was the whole drawn-out birthday escapade. It was pretty fun.

Oh gosh, I forgot to mention that I also totally rearranged my schedule for next semester. I am now taking CHM 303 (orgo), HIS 369 (British history, 1688-1815), ECO 101 (Macro), POL 321 (American Political Thought), and then either SOC 241 (Creativity and Innovation) or ORF 245 (Stats). I was also considering ANT 342 (Anthropology of Law seminar), but I believe that it is full for sophomores. Although, it's hard for me to say for sure because the professor won't email me back. Anyway, so if you thought you had a class with me, you are probably wrong because I am only keeping two of my original five classes. Ha. Whatever, I feel a lot better about my courses now.

I am sure other exciting or not-so-exciting things happened, I just can't remember them.
