It has been forever and a day since i posted, but I figure because Im in Pisa, I have an excuse.
That excuse will not be viable for long, though. I am heading back to philly early tomorrow morning and after 4 days with Kevin I will be heading back to singapore for the rest of the summer. im so excited to be going home.
So freaking excited.

Still in PA and antsy as hell to get out of here. I want to be in Italy NOW.
Two days. I can't WAIT.
The longer I'm here, the more I feel I can't live in the states. I want to live in Europe or in Asia. Singapore is home and somewhere like Rome or Paris or London could very easily become home.. but Philly? Even life in New York is pushing it. Don't get me wrong, I do like New York and there are periods in my life when I do think it would be nice to live there and perhaps at some point I actually will, but more often than not, life in the states does not appeal to me. I would rather live in europe or Asia. I would rather live in a place that is more cosmopolitan.
Which leads up to the fact that I want a summer house in Italy. Not right now, obviously. I need to make a lot of money first. But, regardless, I want a house. And lets just say that while i'm hiking through the hills of tuscany I may keep an eye out for my dream house.

My summer plans have been completely re-vamped. Which, sadly, means that I may miss seeing all of you.
I am not going back to singapore in May. Instead I am staying in the states until June 9th when I leave for Pisa. After Pisa I will fly back to Singapore and stay there for 6 weeks. From July 24th to August 30th. I'm not sure who is going to be there then. Chances are, probably no one. But such is my luck. It will be good though because Since I left school I have only spent a TOTAL of maybe 5 weeks in singapore. That is not enough.
So, at any rate, if you know of anyone who is going to be there.... awesome.

So I never write anymore.
Yes, Jes, I also never email anymore.
That doesn't mean I don't miss and love all of you (especially Jes) any less. I'm just a busy girl. Seriously.
The school year is winding down to its end. I can't believe its gone by so fast! we are halfway done with college. Jesus Christ. Its been quite a year. Its thursday, which is my friday because i don't have class on fridays, and I'm going to go out and party tonight or, rather, keep kevin company.
I attended my first funeral today.n Kevin's best friend's mother's funeral was today and she was like a second mom to Kevin. Everybody was crying. Hell, I almost cried and I 1) NEVER cry and 2) didn't even know the lady.
Right, well i'm going to read my vogue cause homework is so next week.

So i'm back and back to normal.
No more mental breakdowns for at least the next couple months, I promise.
Bryn Mawr isn't all bad.
So, I need some advice. I'm debating whether or not to go abroad in the Spring of next year. Any suggestions?
I mean, I see pros and cons either way, and i'm definately on the fence.... I plan to double major so getting all my recs in before I leave may be tough... but we'll see. What do you all advise? Especially since most of you, like me, spent a good deal of your lives "abroad"?

Bah. Mental breakdown anyone????
It sounds like I'm not the only one.
Can we talk about the fact that I just learned TODAY that not all of you bastards have to write a Thesis????
Can you do me a favor and if you do not have to write a Thesis leave me a comment?
Iwant to know which fucking schools i need to fucking transfer to. Because this is bull shit.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........
Kelly: I have 3 day weekends every week. When is good for you?

My room is CLEAN!!!!!!
I spent much of the afternoon and all night so far cleaning. Now I have work to do. Sweet.
Ummmm.... my life is pretty much boring right now so i don't have much to say, except for the fact that I'm excited to be DOING PRODUCTIVE THINGS with my life after 10 days of doing absolutely Jack Shit.
However, I still really really want a cat and I still really want to go to the MOMA.
Bah.

Well, its been absolutely forever since I updated but since I am now back at school, I have no doubt updates will begin to come in on a regular basis.
My grades from last semester are awesome, I'm really happy with them
Things with Kevin are great, a little intense, but great.
I went away for a month and came back to find him declaring me his girlfriend and telling me he's in love with me. Its been a bit of a shock to say the least and I'm still trying to feel my way around the situation but I do really really like him. I don't know how I always manage to find myself in these situations. The guys I am with always seem to take things soooo much more seriously than I do.... probably because they are always older than I am. Which is also another concern. He's 30, which means marriage is on the horizon for him and that is most definitely not the case for me. Oy, I'm just not going to think about it.
I just saw Bareback Mountain. So good. I really liked it. Unfortunately, It will make any non-gay male in the audience pretty uncomfortable, but you know what? I think they should suck it up. Us girls have been seeing girl-on-girl action for years, its about time guy were allowed to make love on screen.
Anyway, its good to be back, even if the work is already piling up. sweet.

Last night I met one of Kevin's exes.
Only, I didnt know she was an ex until after she had left.
To be honest, its kind of weirded me out. I don't know if its because i'm not used to being face to face with an ex, or that I have a feeling things with the two of them were pretty serious, or if its just the fact that I didn't know they had a connection until after she and I had spent a good portion of the night talking....
I don't know.
But its weird.
Is it a good idea to ask how/why they broke up? They seemed on pretty good terms last night, no animosity between them... Bah.
Ok. Must get stuff done today. I must do work. Grrr.

I spent 10 and a half straight hours in the library.
TEN AND A HALF HOURS
I closed TWO libraries. Count them. Two. When one closed I moved to the other one.....
And now I'm back, at opening, in an attempt to finish the immense amounts of work I have.
Sweet.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
This is the most frustrating thing in the world!
I've been working on this fucking paper for DAYS. I kid you not, DAYS, and I have two pages. I spent all day and night yesterday working on it. I have been in the library for an hour and a half and have written half a paragraph. I just can't seem to write it! I have the worst fucking writers block imaginable. Its ridiculous. I could cry. I really truly could. Nothing, I mean NOTHING, is coming out. Everything just seems wrong. all the time.
My paper, which is supposed to be 10-15 pgs, is on the comparissons between Sor Juana's "The Answer" and Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own". I am exploring the use of genre and feminine rhetoric.
Perhaps one of you could help me out.
What does feminine rhetoric mean to you? What does that MEAN. Other than persuasive language through feminine wording??? What is feminine wording? What really makes something feminine?
FUCK.
I don't fucking get this paper topic. I just don't. I don't!
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk

Dum Dum Dee Dum
The new pictures feature on facebook has destroyed me. I never used to go onto facebook for more than a few seconds to see who had messaged me or added something on my wall. Now I am destracted by the millions of pictures of everybody that are up. Bastards.
Now, how many of you are going home for the holidays? For far too many people, singapore is no longer home. Fortunately, it seems I have at least Steph, Chmelik, and Macnelly to depend on.
This winter I will be going to:
BALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea how excited I am for that.
And, as though a trip to Bali isn't enough, we are also going to
INDIA.... I have wanted to go to India for as long as I can remember. I am so stoked.
And, of course, there is also the trip to KL for shopping that figures into my trips back to singapore as well.
It seems I will be kept very busy this break... not that I mind one bit.
Until break, however, I have a shit load of work to do. I figure I'm just going to close my eyes and jump into it and hope I come out ok.
Everybody cross your fingers.

Sadly, it has become a very familiar phrase.
I just want all the work to be over.
