Home Sweet Home
Touchdown, Houston! No fanfare, no parade. Just me, a chipotle taco, and my family.
It was rough leaving Carleton today, though. I cried in Sayles like a wimp with Charlotte and Gwen and almost jumped out of a moving car when I realized I wasn’t going to see Kenzie until August. Needless to say, I am leaving with a heavy heart but also very excited for the amazing experiences that await...
Spring break: rest and debauchery
Well! I am back at Carleton for a few days! AND IT FEELS GREAT! I have no classes to worry about, no things to unpack, no room to settle in to, no books to buy. Life is simple. The girls have been reunited for a short period and it feels just amazing. I love them all so much and just being together for such a short time reminds me why I love Carleton so much to begin with: the people. I thought I...
Things I am crazy about.
Spring Fashion…. and photoshoping Leo’s face onto random photos.
"Mirror", Sylvia Plath
I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions. What ever you see I swallow immediately Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike. I am not cruel, only truthful—- The eye of a little god, four-cornered. Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall. It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long I think it is a part of my heart. But it flickers. Faces and darkness separate us...
Farewell D.C.
Today was my last day in Washington D.C.! After giving a concert with the 18th Street Singers on Friday night, we were all pretty pooped but looking forward to our free day. Camille and I decided to hit up Eastern Market, a farmers market in the SE quadrant of D.C. that also has a huge flea market set up on Saturdays and Sundays. Since the weather was amazingly perfect, the market was jam packed...
Less talk, more media
The White House. Tons of red tape just to get in.
I am quite an important person.
My “fantastish” lunch at Teaism, recommended by Kenzie. This is Palak Paneer!
I found this large poster to be a bit disturbing. Mostly because of this older gentleman’s face as he lovingly embraces a very tall basketball player. Also, please note that in D.C.’s Chinatown every...
In 1492 Columbus crossed the sea...
I am in our nation’s capitol, Washington D.C. (or the District of Columbia) on Choir Tour. I feel a bit out of place as a college student sight seeing such historic places. I’ve been on two other tours of D.C. before. One was a typical middle school tour and the other was a high school choir tour. We left early Wednesday morning (7 am, yoikes!) and almost missed our flight because a...
Dining Hall Art
When classes and finals have ended, I find that the best and most rewarding activity is eating ridiculously long meals in the dining hall with your friends. I partook is three glorious meals today, each lasting well over an hour. The first was breakfast at a impressively early hour (go willpower!) and we got in just before they closed. Although I am not a big breakfast fan, I do admit that it...
Packin' Up
Luckily, my finals ended Saturday morning so I have had a lot of time to begin the packing process and make a general mess of the dorm room.
If there is one thing I have learned during my time at college, especially at one very far from my home… it is that I have an incredible amount of STUFF. I have enough stuff to fill almost five bins. I rarely ever use any of it. And most of it I keep...
