Confessions of A Working Girl

Tonight the college hosted a psychic medium. Do I believe? I’m not sure. It’s hard to believe when a little over 70% of the stuff she said could have fit into my life just as easily as into the person she was talking to’s. Her name was CJ something, I think. What amazed me the most was that she said that she gets $75 for a half hour session! Since she was here for an hour, the school payed her $150, at least. Probably more since it was a group session.

It was interes...

Vermont schools apparently all (or almost all) have a week off in the middle of October. My week off is this week, so I’m back home for now. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to see Ki! I really really hope so, ’cause recently I’ve realized that I’ve missed her more than I thought.

I wonder what it will be like next year then, when I won’t see her for a whole year, never mind a couple of months….

I went to Tai Kwon Do club tonight, and we had new materials. New paddles to kick, a rubber gun, a rubber knife, and a re-breakable board.

It’s odd…the re-breakable board is made of plastic. When you kick (or hit) it the two pieces come apart. But then you slide them back together and its one board again!

When I first saw the board and tried to kick it, it hurt! So when we had to try again, I was like “This isn’t going to work.” Matthew asked “W...

My goal is that next year, I will not be in the U.S. Not that I don’t like the U.S., but I want to travel and experience other cultures. And its slightly cheaper to do so while you are a student…thus, study abroad.

If all goes as planned, I will spend the fall 2010 semester in Spain, and the spring 2011 semester in Japan. My only worry is that I might get homesick, since both of those countries are far, far from New England.

At the moment, the semester in Spain (or a...

And your fingers too, for that matter. When I glanced at the clock before I started practicing, it was just after 7. And now, when I finished practicing, it is 8:25. Wow! No wonder my shoulders hurt!

It was the oddest thing today…when my shoulder started hurting was when I wanted to practice more! I ended up running through almost all the material I had here—twice. I’ve never had that happen before, when, after I’d practiced everything I wanted to keep going an...

Sorry for the odd title, but I’m still jumpy and nervous. See, about an hour ago at 10:30, all of a sudden the fire alarm went off! It always makes me jump (well, perhaps I shouldn’t say ‘always’ since this is only the second time that I’ve heard it). Anyway, the fire drill only lasted a few minutes. What was weird was when I opened the room door, there was someone from Public Safety standing in our suite. That seemed odd, since we’re on the fourth floor....

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned where I was from, or where my school currently is. For the same reason I changed all the names. But each state is really big and has multiple colleges, so I feel safe saying that I’m currently in Vermont. And this weekend, I went to the Tembridge Fair.

 ”Sai” drove “Arra” and I to Arra’s house Friday afternoon, after classes. Arra’s house is much closer to Tembridge than our school, so I was g...

Waiting always makes time seem longer, doesn’t it? Time stretches and stretches and did you know that on one of the walls in the campus center at my school there are 156 bricks?

 When I finished with classes at 12:15, I went with Vivien to the blood drive. I wasn’t going to give blood–I hate needles–but she was. And since she suspected that there would be a wait, she thought she would get bored. We both did.  We got to the campus center–where th...

I joined the Tae Kwon Do club at my school. Tonight was the first time I went. I went not really knowing much about Tae Kwon Do, except that it is a martial art, and that the kid in charge is in one of my classes. I had to sort of laugh at myself.

The day that the clubs were recruiting people, I walked over to the Tae Kwon Do table, because it sounded interesting. The paper on the table said to call “Matthew”  for more information. So I asked the boy that was st...

As I’ve mentioned before, my roommate Vivien and I get along pretty well. But every so often it seems like she’s mad at me. I don’t know if that’s true, or not, but… Take today for example. I had music on when she came into the room. I went to go fill the ice cube tray (the fridge she brought has an actual working freezer! Yay! Frozen grapes! ^_^ ) and I come back and she’s putting on her headphones. I said “Oh, sorry is my music bothering you?̶...
