I don't have the apartment fully set up as I didn't want to pay the deposit and then have things not work out! Everything sounds really good from the school-- I went up for an interview and they were wonderful! However now that my application is in, they get to look over my transcripts and...

poppies, tulips, blue hydrangeas. poppies are from my trip to spain-- I saw them everywhere while I was backpacking. tulips and daffodils remind me of home, and I think they're gorgeous. and someday I want to have blue hydrangeas in my wedding.

and a little advice about being patient! I have just submitted my applications for two masters programs-- one is basically my dream program in a city I love. I've found an apartment that takes cats, and while I'm going to need to take out some loans to afford everything, it's where I want to...

congratulations!!!! what an accomplishment!

Before you start the program, I'd see if any vets would let you shadow in their office. I work at a vet's office as an assistant (basically a vet tech without the schooling) and it's really hectic, stressful, and draining sometimes. If you don't have experience dealing with death, blood, or...

I love soccer but this year I got frustrated with it because all of my friends want to talk about it all the time!! None of them care about soccer any other time, so I've just kind of bowed out of it this year. (What a change from the last cup, where I spent most of a beach week holed up inside...

I'm very happy with it! I like the combination of touch-screen and keyboard (as I don't always want to use a touch screen, but sometimes it's pretty convenient... and I'd absolutely hate to use a touch-keyboard.) Oh I definitely have to recharge it every night. It was a bit of a pain at...

I would take her back to the vet if there are signs of her getting sick. Often mothers abandon their kittens for a reason, she might have something wrong with her that is contributing to the eyes.

I love the repetitive names! They're adorable!

I'm training for a half-marathon in October, so I've been trying to run but the heat is just awful! Today I'm going over to a few gyms to look at membership prices so that hopefully I'll be able to go there when I get off of work instead of just coming home and plopping in front of the tv or...

I have 2 tattoos also-- a symbol of a pilgrimage I went on, and a small dove in white ink. I got both almost on a whim, at different points in my life, and I think that's made me like them more! The dove is in white ink, on the inside of my hip (so that it could be covered by a bathing suit...

I wanted to 2nd that this was beautiful. Thank you.

Today's a day off for me, and I'm getting ready to shower and go shopping for the last of my interview clothes-- on Tuesday I fly to Boston for an interview for an MA in Children's Literature. I couldn't be more excited/scared, it's basically my dream program, though is pretty expensive so I'm...

I absolutely hate ticks. I will do anything gross/dirty in the hospital but need help to pull a tick off an animal. I hate touching them, thinking about them, seeing them. It's seriously like a borderline-phobia. I really think it comes from working at the animal shelter, where we'd get...

I love love love soccer but to be honest, I've been working so much that I haven't had the time to focus on all the games. I do turn on ESPN or the Spanish channel to get soccer news during my lunch breaks though!
