Liveblogging dinner is a bit lame on the content tip. I’ve done it before, so I know. But I feel inclined to do this tonight for three decent reasons.
1. It’s rainy and cold and it makes me want something warm.
2. I haven’t posted in a while.
3. Miso soup, while simple, is deceptively hard to make [...]

The Good News:
I got a 3.9 this quarter! It’s the best GPA I’ve ever had. I’m pretty proud of myself, and glad I sacrificed all those nights. I would’ve been pissed if I had no social life in exchange for mediocre grades.
And - I got into the Denmark program!
The Bad News:
I think I’m going to [...]

On my bus ride home I was feeling really bad for myself. I found myself listlessly staring out the window, mulling over how great it would feel to bitch about my life. I was so far down this pity-party path that I even had a couple witty sentences constructed in my mind. I was going [...]

Enjoyed beautiful weather by going on a photowalk. Somehow ended up at Pike Place Market, where I bought the best artichoke known to man.

For the first time I participated in a caucus today. Washington ran things a little different than other states. Each party, divided by precinct, got together and affiliated themselves in one of three camps: Obama, Clinton, or undecided. The ratio of votes determined how our designated delegates would represent our area. My precinct, 43-2549, had [...]

Due to my ‘broke student status’ most of my days have been boring and uneventful. But this weekend - this was a doozy.
It started Thursday by being invited to a craft night of local cartoonist Tatiana Gill. I took some photos and so did she. Check out this shot she took of me so you [...]

The Good:

Women Studies is very fascinating and awesome and I’m sad I’ve never taken a class in the field before
The removal of self from [...]

I would work here. And it would be awesome.
