must focus

So I've been in school for about a month now and I think I'm finally starting to get back into the swing of it. Things I need to do less of include: procrastinating, ditching class, and more procrastinating. Things I need to do more of= read, and going to class. I think it will be easier when everybody else starts school too so there will be less distractions. But yeah w/e, Fleet Foxes tonight!

So I have a few goals for this school year

1. make the dean's list
2. make my life interesting enough to write about it on this blog
3. enjoy

is summer over? are we still posting here?

-my neurotic/ ocd tendencies have been put to the test, as both of my internships have given me the task of re-shelving their disorganized libraries. (i work in books. this means there are a lot of them.) i have equipped myself with an arsenal of highlighters, printouts, and step-ladders. still needed: a helmet, because books keep falling on my head =(.

The last year of school starts today. This semester I plan on taking all Gallatin classes, interning at Farrar, Straus, and Giroux publishing house and photo department at The New Yorker magazine, waitressing at Chevy's on the weekends, preparing for my colloquium, cooking dinner and going to yoga every week, playing with/worshiping my new Nikon D80, writing more, wearing my summer clothes until the last possible day and then a few days more, basking in the love and craziness of my roommates, continuing to color-code my notes and read things that aren't required when I don't have the time, flossing on a regular basis, and being an overall productive person. Also, I might sleep and perhaps update this blog.

I didn't think it could happen, but this summer beat its predecessor by at least a dozen cupcakes. I came back to New York after nine months abroad and binged on this city. The past three months were characterized by equal parts science movies at the museum of natural history and questionable activities of a less tame nature. So maybe my roommates and I might have jumped off the deep end, splashed around for a little bit and swallowed too much water towards the end, but all in all we're emerging intact and maybe even with a little tan.

goodbye, summer.
it's been a number of adjectives,
and i loved them all.

bringing democracy to the world....America. *salutes*

hello gents

man it's been a crazy couple days, but i'll try to paraphrase.

So i went to frankfurt to koln on the ICE. German engineering at its finest. Clean, simple, efficient, and fast. Got to koln and checked in at the Meninger. This place was clean and cheap, but man, it was dead. No one talked to eachother. The bar was vacant and sterile, not a empty bottle or cigarette butt in site. This really discouraged me, i thought the whole trip was gonna be like this...lonely. i left for amsterdam the next morning and met some canadians on the bus. Long story short ended up braging in amsterdam with them. Met some Brits later that night. Man they're a funny bunch, basically if we talked in witty dry sounding british accents, we would be them. Braged some more. More when i get back. I only have a few minutes left. Everyone says cheers here so i'll so cheers.

cheers
