nap time

We had nap time... I mean, meditation time with the lights off and lying on the floor... in PE today. BEST GYM CLASS EVER.

leftovers

It's after Thanksgiving. We ate lots of leftovers today that were better than what we actually ate yesterday.

I also got to see my roommate play volleyball, which was awesome, even though we lost :(

Mom

Megan

Rachel

LotR Board Game!

We must destroy the ring of power.

If we fail, we fail together.

And if we sacrifice our life, it is so that the ringbearer might not be found by Sauron.

But then, maybe we all make it to Mordor unscathed, and things just start to go wrong and we die one by one anyway... sigh! Still fun :)

Kathryne

Messiah!

Messiah choruses = GORGEOUSNESS. Chorale practice is kind of... FUN... now.

study breaks

After working allll day, several things made me smile:

-break to visit Meghan and discuss Madeline L'Engle and Tolkein.
-two lovely breaks to talk on the phone
-break to get raspberry hot chocolate and discuss the Russian/Polish/French languages and Christmas carols

...now back to work...

SO CAN'T WAIT FOR BREAK. (but oh wait, I will have a project-worth-30%-of-my-Physics-grade to do then? wonderful...)

halloween

...very few people dressed up today. It was sad.

But I had a good day. Watched movies (read: took naps) in two of my classes, including golf. 'Twas a very Russian-filled day... lots of homework, plus Russian Club conversation tables, plus Russian lit discussions with Molly. We can't decide which Chekhov play to read over break.

Kathryne

happy

103% on my Physics midterm. NO CURVE. joyjoyjoyjoy.

also, I thought I failed my Stats midterm, but it turns out that, thanks to THAT curve, a 55% is a C. Which is a pass. I got (slightly) better than a 55%, but still not high enough that I want to post it on the internet.

Aaaaaand, today was just happy. I did laundry and played Words With Friends (11 games as of this morning o.0) and felt overall very much like a college student.

Kathryne

my phone

no longer works at all. it's very sad. I can't listen to voicemails or talk using the ear speaker. I have plugged/replugged in the headphones multiple times... powered off and on... reset... restored... I have to do laundry tomorrow! I don't have time to go to OIT!!!

oh well.

today was still good. I went to do some volunteer work at a place that serves breakfast to underprivileged/homeless people with Vienna and some Vision folks.

then I carved pumpkins.

now I am going to bed.


Kathryne

record-setting

Overslept by like an hour, then spent 7.5 hours talking to Christine. I think that's a record.

And small group was kind of great as well.

Kathryne

dancing

3 hours of dancing... 2 hours driving through some pretty sketch parts of town... loving every minute.

I hardly stopped smiling tonight, basically.

Kathryne

home

^^yeah, that

Kathryne

WEATHER!!!

<3

Today was sunny.
About 65 degrees.
It made me happy.

Golf wasn't half bad.
We got out really early.
Learned to putt! (again)

Kathryne

Haikutober

It's Haikutober
And you can expect to see
Lame ones for a while.

Because I will try
To keep this thing up, I guess
For the whole month long.

Written it is fun,
But spoken it's annoying,
As found at dinner.

However, I say
It makes very int'resting
Facebook comment threads.

And speaking of which,
Skype + Megan + Hannah
= mass explosions.

Saturday

I think I got 3.5 hours of sleep last night?

I am very sleepy right now. But I had a good day, hanging out with ISI people and doing photo scavenger hunts and "watching the football game" and stuff like that.

I think I will go to bed now.

Kathryne

coming to terms

...with the fact that it might be okay to get a B+ every now and then *cringe*

ISI was awesome though, and I am really enjoying telling my Katie-got-run-over-by-a-bike story.
