Hello. Here is where I went to Amsterdam. Now I'm in Boston- trying to be a writer. I am 23.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it : )
I was working with a really tight deadline so I wasn’t able to use these books for my final, but I’ve saved the information and the story is definitely I want to return to in the near future and continue researching!
Thanks again : )
Assignment: Write a 5 page case study of a student paper.
Me: 1 page, that just about sums it all up…. now what can I talk about?

Nearly done with page 2, just chugging right along.
EDIT EDIT: DONE! My senioritis is SO bad. I want to cry from the brief happiness afforded me by completing one assignment from a list of like seven that are due between now and next Wednesday.

Absolutely done with Open Office,gonna have to ask for Microsoft products for my birthday

I’d rather be writing a 15 page story than this 4 page essay.

I’m always super excited about my grad classes, when I’m sitting there in them.
But then as soon as class is over I’m stuck going, “Holy Fuckerroos, how am I ever going to get all this done?”
