Tomorrow consists of cramming for my modernism exam at 1 and then working on a death and burial presentation. I'm just going to be telling Richmond Ghost stories, so I hope that's cool. Maybe I should bring a campfire and s'mores for everyone? That's a great idea, I just realized, but way too labor intensive.<br /><br />Thanksgiving weekend was weird/fun/and predictable. It was nice to see the new house and toutes mes soeurs.<br /><br />I also spent a good portion of my night cleaning/sweeping/straightening/organizing my room. Now I have a great study space for Exam week and a pleasant bed to dive into when I crash. Currently Carrie Bradshaw is looking down on me from above my bed and I find this almost comforting (I'm moving on up!) but also depressing and kind of creepy.

ARGGGGG. His classes conflict with mine, so that's super sad. This also means that I need to pick up another class. I should probz consult with mom on this.<br /><br />OR.<br /><br />I can switch my classes around so I can TA on Monday or Tuesday nights.... OR... he can let me TA his Intro to African Societies Class.<br /><br /><br />ANYWAY. I gave what I thought was a doomed lecture today, but it ended up going pretty well! I was sufficiently interesting (meaning mildly boring) and managed not to flub-up too much. Success in my book!<br /><br />Tried the peppermint White Hot Chocolate at "Rev it Up" (Where they apparently have coffee, wine, and beer, all at the same place. Extremely tasty, even tastier because Zane paid for it.<br />I'm self-admittedly a huge fan of hot chocolate. it's just so tasty. I'm bummed that this hot chocolate Idea won't be happening.<br /><br />I had a meeting about Internships today and in 20 minutes of conversation I became extremely self-conscious about the fact that I am applying for some of the most competitive internships out there. I'm still going to, but damn.... I need a back up plan.

During the day it's great because we still see each other and will continue to hang out, but at the end of the day.... it becomes very clear that we're...well... not together anymore. Things have evidently changed, and moreover, they have changed literally overnight. We don't hold hands while we walk anymore, we've swapped goodbye kisses for goodbye hugs, no more sleeping side by side..... and it all stopped with a hug and kiss at my front door.<br /><br />We decided to end things because it was logical, but how far does that hold? The reasons are clear, once you put an expiration date on a relationship it's bound to go sour, so you might as well end things sooner rather than later.<br /><br />I guess a logical approach to relationships never promised easy transitions.<br />It is strange ending a relationship when both parties still have feelings for each other....Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383298138780105574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171313690473695708.post-48393396815890949692009-11-11T09:14:00.001-08:002009-11-11T09:18:00.500-08:00Maybe you're the girl whose mother ambushes you at student health and demands to go into the exam room with you.<br /><br />Maybe you're failing out of school.<br /><br />Maybe you're having more days that are bad than are good.<br /><br />Maybe you're struggling with addiction.<br /><br />Maybe your family has fallen apart.<br /><br />Maybe you have trouble making friends.<br /><br />Maybe you've lost your job.<br /><br />Maybe you feel isolated.<br /><br />Maybe you're unsatisfied with your life.<br /><br />Maybe you've deserted someone.<br /><br />Maybe you're missed.<br /><br />Maybe no one misses you.<br /><br />Maybe you're tired.<br /><br />Maybe you don't know what to do when you graduate.<br /><br />Maybe you've realized you've been setting yourself up for your future life so long that you suddenly realize that you've been missing out on it the entire time.<br /><br />And maybe you're sick.<br /><br /><br />but I'm here.Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383298138780105574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171313690473695708.post-10410087568437778882009-11-10T07:25:00.001-08:002009-11-10T07:44:15.635-08:00The Sorest of TimesI made a new studying mix, the only problem is that it includes just 10 songs. If anyone could recommend some great studying jams (No lyrics I can find myself singing to, please) that would be awessommme.<br /><br />Abby fucking Leventhal visited me this weekend and we had a blast. I miss that girl like crazy.<br /><br />stress with school has been completely overwhelming this week.<br />1. nails were nice, and now all completely bitten.<br />2. long nights.<br />3. taking it out on other people (sorry).<br />4. not hanging out with certain people (so sorry).<br /><br /><br />but today is the day to end all this stress from the weekend. I finished my archeology paper (ugh) and emailed it to my professor, and I have my french exam in half an hour. I hope I do well. The great thing about French exams is that I don't have class afterward like some classes I know (Modernism).<br /><br />That modernism test was hard but better than I thought it would be.<br /><br />I forget that even though I have some free time, that's doesn't mean that other people will.<br />bummer.Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383298138780105574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171313690473695708.post-2470570656661850632009-11-03T20:55:00.000-08:002009-11-03T20:58:10.245-08:00Before.and.After<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8kQfLRAZxMq1kjKIiPet8EKU5b5J80WvecCI7Ej6Zd-4X0i8dO9cWqUqqZSiX3LEG63rpy1rQb6GEYTPMzYdoVyiXVVf9VzDLE0nrqtOolfJwBkCfpIuMlVVAtwG7w_tPIvr4l0U5cFX/s1600-h/Photo+63.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 511px; height: 383px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8kQfLRAZxMq1kjKIiPet8EKU5b5J80WvecCI7Ej6Zd-4X0i8dO9cWqUqqZSiX3LEG63rpy1rQb6GEYTPMzYdoVyiXVVf9VzDLE0nrqtOolfJwBkCfpIuMlVVAtwG7w_tPIvr4l0U5cFX/s400/Photo+63.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400108068806258818" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_8Tn1c21XY89Ipj5hkgr4d-U18UdK5Dd25U-fdgA_ljZKRKfTRiEs6cD1GakIoUIknbcW22kgNG82NWX4jnmuNTZbQ1YynpcPT3AZFjYxMxMNmNCThQ37pgfEsZAoky7KtI1lB-1cCgoX/s1600-h/Photo+46.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 520px; height: 390px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_8Tn1c21XY89Ipj5hkgr4d-U18UdK5Dd25U-fdgA_ljZKRKfTRiEs6cD1GakIoUIknbcW22kgNG82NWX4jnmuNTZbQ1YynpcPT3AZFjYxMxMNmNCThQ37pgfEsZAoky7KtI1lB-1cCgoX/s400/Photo+46.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400108064476862466" border="0" /></a>Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383298138780105574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171313690473695708.post-8398729085794430362009-11-02T11:39:00.000-08:002009-11-02T12:11:10.089-08:00CROOZPlans for a 21st birthday Cruise to the Caribbean are officially set! I think is going to be frightening to be traveling without my parents for the first time, but also awesome to spend much needed quality time with my sisters drankin' margarrrrritas and getting smiggedy in style. I've always had lame birthdays, so this is going to be awesome! I plan on taking a billion pictures and hopefully snuba-ing through a sunken shipwreck! (I am completely excited about this)<br /><br />As for now, however, I'm in the library working on Grave analysis of some Monongahela sites. It's kind of boring, but also interesting. I can't complain, I would be in Modernism right now if my class wasn't canceled.<br /><br />I'm officially applying for a scholarship for next semester! I've never done that before, but I think it's worth a shot. It's a scholarship offered just for Anthropology majors who have written archaeological/anthropological papers. I have a couple, so why not enter them? Who knows if I'll get it, but I'll have a pretty good recommendation under my belt if I apply.<br /><br />Still thinking about applying for Internships at <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/">The Met</a>, just not sure what department I want to apply for. I'm thinking Egyptian Art, obviously, but I have to choose a back up. Ancient Near Eastern? Be fully advised I don't plan on signing up for Modern Art, Jesus. They have a costume Institute, which would be fun, But I doubt I have any real skills that would apply. I think I'm probably going to choose Egyptian and Conservation.<br /><br />So, 3 internships, 1 scholarship, and maybe an internship abroad. I just emailed a woman in charge of Education Abroad to see if she can hook me up with any advice about interning abroad. So many things up in the air!<br /><br />This week is ridiculous, I can't even think about everything I have to do. I have an art history paper that I haven't even started and it's due Thursday! oh my goodness.<br /><br />Tonight includes possibly thrifting with the boyfriend, salvaging my self-respect in French class/preparing for the exam, reading about Russian Constructivism, Outlining trends in these burials I'm looking at, and drafting out my paper on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warka_Vase">The Warka Vase</a> and the destruction of the Baghdad Museum.<br /><br /><br />ugh I am freezing and need coffee.Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383298138780105574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171313690473695708.post-9067188728579462432009-11-01T23:55:00.001-08:002009-11-01T23:59:39.745-08:00Harrowweennn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBEWuQ1WGcSFrX5Nbe4O_HJEEDXvrYypns3PJstynGcW96G73PEt-RgE3OtX9umByLR49-BPKLR7rcDmJcfYtxOAV3D2rE51mwdfeoozmVg6x3wCd9dfppERgca9C9oePEBuQ2HP8s4HSD/s1600-h/16058_1159520399177_1562790515_30703637_1201673_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I'd rather just make something up on the fly.<br /><br />I haven't blogged between classes in a while, so here goes. Today started out quite wonderfully, and considering my state of stubborn chilliness in this fall weather, and my lack of adequate footwear/clothing at this exact moment, I would love to be back in bed snuggling and hitting the snooze button. That would just be the cat's meow, let me tell you. I can see that it's drizzling now, and I'm going to regret my walk to Art History in an hour or so, especially if it starts to rain a little more steadily.<br /><br />I don't know what I'm going to do for Halloween. It sounds like people are headed to UVA, Zane included, but I wasn't planning on leaving Richmond for good old "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain">Samhain</a>" (pronounced: Saw-ane). I especially since hadn't asked Kara about it. Now I don't know what to do. If Kara doesn't want to go, I'm not sure I will either. And yet, I want to spend Halloween with Zane. I guess we'll see what happens.<br /><br />Next week is comprised of full-blown studying. I'm taking the week off of work and focusing on academia for once, instead of the mighty dollar. Which reminds me, I need to check my Mint account.<br /><br />Zane has me hooked on this financial website "<a href="http://www.mint.com">Mint</a>" where you can set up your accounts and see how much money you're spending. I'm currently $60 under budget, which is good.... right? I never knew how much I was spending in one month! I think I'm going to adjust my budgets. Definitely check it out if you have as much trouble managing your money as I do.<br /><br />My Winter break has been neatly and precisely sorted out: I'll be working 2 weeks in RVA, Home for three weeks (including our cruise birthday extravaganza) and then back to RVA for a week of work before I get into the full swing of the semester. Estimated profit from working the 9-5 at $7.50= $900 for winter break. Not that bad, and probably the best I'll do considering how busy I will be.<br /><br />I am going to love and hate winter break. I'm going to love working and being home, but that also means it's closer to January 5th, a date I'm not looking so forward to....<br /><br />But having no school work to worry about will hopefully be as relaxing as I imagine it to be.<br /><br />However, until winter break comes, I have a lot of work to do!<br />1. 4 internship applications to turn in for Summer 2010 (and maybe more...)<br />2. Finishing up all my classes<br />3. Saving monneeyyy<br />So many other things I can't think of....<br /><br /><br />Also, Halloween this weekend, kara's leaving the next weekend, Christina visits the weekend after, and then it's thanksgiving!<br /><br />Plus!:<br />1. Archaeology paper due in 2 weeks<br />2. Art History paper due.... really soon!<br />3. Andean paper rewrite!<br />4. Modernism Test!!<br />5. French exam!<br />6. Ethnography paper!<br />7. Lecturing a class on Kinship in Anthro!<br />8. Possibly submitting a paper for the North American Archaeology conference?<br /><br /><br />SO BUSY.<br />I don't know how I'm going to handle all of it!Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04383298138780105574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171313690473695708.post-69922227643613550222009-10-16T23:04:00.000-07:002009-10-16T23:26:44.015-07:00I'm The Girl That....1.

Maybe I'm jealous of all of my friends who are studying art. I wish I had more excuses/motivations to be more artistic. I kind of miss theatre. I really miss reading plays and designing sets and lighting, and putting together inspiration boards. I kind of want to buy a large cork board and go to town. I think that having an inspiration board might be nice. I have a notebook that is slowly being filled, but I might like having something that I can see when I wake up.<br /><br />I also want to paint a wall with Chalkboard paint. I might settle for the back of the door to my room....<br /><br />I also have this desire to find dropped notes from people around campus, but I'm not sure how often this happens. I also kind of want to take a few hours and write notes to stick into the books at Cabell.<br /><br />I also realized that I really miss singing. I wish I had more musical soundtracks to sing along to. My friend Michele recently put up her own piano recordings on facebook and myspace, and I was really impressed! I never pegged her as a musical person, so it was really cool to see that out of the blue. I wonder if I could take a singing class with VCU....<br /><br />In other news... I need to step up my game. I feel like I am in a rut looks wise. Not to complain or anything, but I used to really care about the clothes I wore and how I look, and something happened since last year, and now I think I look like hell.<br /><p class="zemanta-img zemanta-action-dragged" style="margin: 1em; float: right; display: block;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31703752@N04/3552371926"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3632/3552371926_9e5cbe8186_m.jpg" alt="Description unavailable" style="border: medium none ; display: block;" height="180" width="240" /></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:78%;" ><span class="zemanta-img-attribution">Image by <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31703752@N04/3552371926">dno1967</a> via Flickr</span></span></p><br />In my french class this morning we listened to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDtqGdtLkTc">"Victime de la Mode" by McSolaar</a>, which is a song about this girl Dominique who struggles to keep up with the fashion of being thin and beautiful. We talked about peer pressures that people my age face, and body image came up. I think everyone has insecurities. I do, every now and then. My french teacher said "L'enfer, c'est les autres" (Hell is the others), which is actually a quotation from Sartre. She asked us if MCSolaar's advice, "<span class="fnt0">L’essentiel est d’être vraiment bien dans sa peau" (It's essential to feel good in your skin) w</span><span class="fnt0">as easy to follow, and we all agreed that it wasn't.
