Graduation
May 31, 2009, 10:28 pmSo I’ve decided, now that I’m going to be an “adult” and hypothetically I’ll have more time, I’m going to write here again. I know I kinda deserted this blog for a while, but no more!
Yesterday I moved into a new apartment, with a friend of mine. I am really excited, though it’s still close to school, and I am graduating, oh well. I’m going to be one of those kids.
I do have a job though, which in this economy is wonderful and very exciting. Anyways. Now I have to write my last final paper in college.

Chicago part 2
November 20, 2008, 4:37 pmBeing in Chicago in mid-November makes me sad. Why? It is cold in Chicago in mid-November, and this is distressing. Other than that, I am still in love with the skyline of this city and the people and the city itself. I am saddened to think I might be moving away because there is nothing for me here, and I wonder if I might not want to stay here, and re-think my current career goals and such. But that seems silly, does it not, to throw away a career because of a city? Either way, I love Chicago.
I wish this blog was more exciting. I feel like I should update more, in fact, I am going to make an attempt to update more. I started a Word document which was supposed to be a journal, because I like to write on the computer more than I like to write in notebooks, writing in notebooks makes my hand hurt.
Topics I figure I could write about here are my recent obsession with pie and book clubs (I am starting one, not a pie, but book club) and my forays into online dating, but none of these things are that exciting, or make for good blog fodder (at least until I have a really bad date with a guy I met online, in which case I can immediately write a series of posts mocking the guy). I’m single which is exciting, and it’s my fourth year, but I don’t really want to fall into the trench of writing about how sad I am I’m single, and stressed I am about writing my BA.
I’m basically really boring.

Chicago
September 28, 2008, 12:43 pmSo I love to be in Chicago. It is really a wonderful city, but…
Then there’s the humidity and the mosquitos and the fear of west nile desiese and the fact that the air conditioning in my apartment is rather shoddy. In Armenia I straightened my hair once every two days and it was so dry that I didn’t have to do it more often!
Speaking of Armenia, I had the best summer ever. I would go back to Armenia, to my job, in a heartbeat. It was a wonderful exciting learning experience and I had a great time. Highlights were the Armenia-Turkey soccer game (first time they’d ever played each other!), the evacuation of Americans from Georgia, meeting a nice boy (not an Armenian, lol), and my boss telling me I was the best intern he’d ever worked with.
Now, I’m back at school, dealing with the let down of being back in Chicago now that I’ve eaten all the American food I wanted (Chipotle, Dominos, french toast and good spaghetti, ie not covered in ketchup). Class starts tomorrow, I’m excited because I’m taking some cool classes. I’m trying to decide between three languages and well, that’s fun. Hopefully I’ll be better about this blog this year, but we’ll see. I’m going to be writing my thesis, and trying to be SGFC chair again and we’ll see about that.

Fireworks over Mt. Ararat
July 5, 2008, 1:38 amThat phrase sums up my first week in Armenia. I really like my job, and all the people are nice, but I am getting sick of Armenia. It is definitely not Chicago. This kind of thinking really worries me. I used to be so willing to drop everything and travel, in fact, I thought I didn’t travel enough. I was adventerous and I would go and do things by myself. Now, everything takes so much energy and everything is so hard. It’s ridiculous because I can kind of speak Armenian! What is my problem?
The past two months before I left were good. Dan left for San Francisco and we ended things. Whatever. I saw James Taylor with Dan and my parents, and it was the best concert that I have ever, and probably will ever, see. It was amazing. School ended and I got the worst grade I’ve gotten at the U of C in civ. I finally got security clearance in June after like 4 months of questioning why I see a therapist (ugh!).
And now I’m in Armenia. That’s that.

This has been the past three months:
May 8, 2008, 7:10 pmI ran for Student Government. I lost. It sucked.
I ran for Editor in Chief of the Miday Review. I lost. It sucked even more than losing Student Government elections.
I ran Annual Allocations better than Dan. It still sucked because it was 27 hours in a room with people whom I don’t really like.
It took until May to get nice out and it is still not even that nice. Lame.
My passport got lost in the mail, I had to get fingerprinted again, and I still don’t know if I have security clearance, so I still don’t have a ticket to Armenia and I definitely don’t have a subletter for my apartment. This is worriesome.
Dan is moving away for certain, and I am feeling deja vu and it sucks.
Seriously I’m not totally miserable, but there’s a lot going on and I wish things were working out better. I’m worried about my ba paper (even though I love my topic I have no idea where to start) and about this summer and life in general.
Yikes.
