Snowpocalypse on Campus: LIVE! →
Watching this… laughing to myself as the snow plow drives by, spraying snow everywhere. The funny thing is that here in Massachusetts we’ve had it way worse than Chicago this year, temperature-wise and snow-wise, so I think I’ll be able to handle it. But seriously all this “record breaking snow-fall” business is getting to be annoying. Groundhog, do you thing, and...

Realized I've been neglecting my Flickr
I tend to do this in the winter, when my photographic mind goes to hibernate and I stop posting things to flickr. But I was just in Boston taking photos, and have some from a recent trip to the state hospital (Checked myself in while I was there… Kidding). So I’ll post those soon once I finish sorting and editing, a process that always takes too long. And then, of course, I’ll...

Oh Chicago...
fuckkyeahchicago: Quoting from his memoir, Clinton recalled Emanuel’s election as a congressman representing the North Side, saying, “He was back in Washington as a congressman from Chicago, the city he thought should be capitol of the world.” don’t care who you’re voting for, that’s pretty awesome. It should be capitol of the world.

Semimortua
Is it a problem that Catullus seems to be relating to my life at the moment? Because, yes, I am lying on my bed tossing and turning with half-dead limbs. So either this is a moment of self-realization and discovery, or I really did study too much latin. Banking on the second, but it’s weird that my thoughts are manifesting themselves in Latin poems.

So I went out to take photos...
…in the snow, with my porch lights on. It was all very romantic and cozy. But then I pressed the shutter and there was no card in my camera. I decided to give up and head back inside (it’s like 20 out right now and I didn’t want to get snow on my camera). So basically I did nothing today but watch TV (Fairly Legal is quite good by the way). I’m glad that my work ethic has...

Midyears
make me hate my life. Seriously, it’s such an obnoxious, surreal experience. Only made worse by the fact that we have them 2 weeks AFTER Winter break. It makes no sense. Anyway just 1 and two halves left (Yeah my midyear schedule is messed up this year….) Well here’s to term 2. Senioritis will be in full swing by then.

It is 12 AM
Why am I still awake? Literally can’t fall asleep so I’m sitting here listening to music and reading tumblr posts. I also happen to have school tomorrow and have been lying here stressed out for an hour. Obviously I’ve already failed on one of my resolutions. Literally am in a constant state of stress, being exhausted, and being burnt out. I need Feb vacation because I did not...

HE11O 2011!!
Finally. The year I graduate from high school. It’s so weird to think that the year has finally come after thinking about it all of high school and even middle school. I completed college apps, got in to two schools including my absolute top choice, stressed myself out unbelievably (had another one of my new semi-regular mental breakdowns tonight). So glad 2010 is done.  My new year’s...

Is this a problem?
I have a countdown going in my head about how long it will be until my letter from the University of Chicago. I also have decorated my room with a UChicago sticker, Chicago pictures on my bulletin board, and a poster at the ready if I (hopefully!!!) get in… Some might call me strangely obsessed, and I would too, but I’ve tried to refrain from talking about UChicago now that the...

It is literally crazy here right now...
Because I live on a Christmas tree farm (Ironic since I’m Jewish but that’s neither here nor there) it is mad busy today. There have probably been at least 40 cars at my house today, and we are still open for another hour. And the phone has been ringing basically non stop since 9:30 this morning. Best part is that we are open again tomorrow, so it’s just going to be crazy all...

Now that I've submitted my application...
I’ve taken to compulsively checking the University of Chicago’s website, for no real reason other than my own obsession. I know decisions don’t come out until the middle of December and that my application is fully in, but I still have to check. It’s like with email and facebook. I’m a compulsive checker. I have to keep checking to make sure nothing has changed. This...
