11:06 am	In Search of Roommmate so, i know it's been a while since i've updated this thing, but such is life. anywho, for the few of you who don't know, my roommate is moving out and i need to replace her to keep my apartment, which i really really want to do. if you know of anyone who's going to be looking for a place in the boston area, please let me know (preferably via email or fb, since i'm bad about checking this) or give them my contact info. it's a great apt in a great place for a very good price. thanks for any help!

4:04 pm	i'm in love! The Garment District (http://thegarmentdistrict.com/) is officially the best store I've ever been in in my entire life. Downstairs they have clothes for $1.50 per pound ($1/lb on Fridays!) and upstairs they have an astonishingly well stocked, yet still reasonably priced (unlike the waay overpriced consignment shop near me) thrift store. My take today: two skirts (one Mossimo, one J Crew), two pairs of shorts (one Gap, one Nautica) and one purse (Old Navy...even though the *last* thing I need on earth is another purse right now.) Best part: less than $20. I'm serious! Plus, it's attached to this huge costume shop and we all know how much I like costumes. Seriously, shops shouldn't make me this happy, but it did. So, yeah, Boston's fucking awesome. And y'all are fucking retahded if you don't come visit. For real real, not for play play. Phew, shopping at extreme discounts makes me sleepy...Well, maybe it was the walking around in the nice sunny weather. Who knows? (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:22 am	it's hit... i know it's been forever since i've posted in this thing, but, honestly, this is the first time i've actually felt emo enough to. i wonder what that says about me... it's official, though, the end of the semester has hit. and not just in a light way, but in a full fledged head on collision with an 18-wheeler going full speed kinda way. as long as i surround myself with people, i'll be fine, but cracks are definitely starting to appear. so, if i'm seem a bit off or distracted, please, just pull me out of it. i hate feeling this way. but i keep reminding myself that, even if it is all coming to and end much too fast, life is really good right now and i just need to enjoy it. even if i have to force myself. i can put the shitty feelings in a box in the closet and wait until this is all done with to take them out. sounds like a good plan to me! i think i'm going to book myself for a massage soon. like, maybe this friday. i was going to wait until senior week, but my shoulders are kind of up around my ears and i need to let go like whoa. and tomorrow (technically today) is my birthday. i'm not supposed to feel like this on my birthday. i'm going to go to bed, get a good night's sleep, and when i wake up, i will feel better. i've decided. there will be revelry. possibly at the feve. if you're in the town of oberlin and are interested in joining, let me know and i'll be sure to give you a call. okay, enough ranty. more sleep.

4:13 pm	Happy Fake New Year's! My friends are weird. Also, awesome. When presented with the problem of people dispersing before actual New Year's, we did the only logical thing: had our New Year's Party early. So, I get two New Years' in one week. Fun fun. Does this mean that I have to make twice as many resolutions? (Comment on this)

6:26 pm	home done with finals for the rest of my college career. now, i just have to take a seminar and research, write, and defend my thesis. but, i'm done for now and that's all that counts. also, i'm at home and my mom made brisket for dinner. yum. a bit incoherent due to about 9 hours of driving all by myself, but cheered significantly by the fact that i'm greeted at the door with booze. life is really good right now.

12:38 am	starring rebecca as a huge fucking flake... so this week i've now flaked on two separate important things. granted one (a meeting with my honors adviser) was significantly more important and even in the end that's going to be okay, but still. i hate feeling like a flake. it's just not me. blech. additionally, it just dawned on me that the paper due at the end of november is no longer quite as far away. this revelation instigated an "oh shit" moment that ended with me checking books out of mudd for the project. this makes two times now that i've checked books out of mudd that were not ohiolink. i'm proud. finally, i had a great opening and i totally choked. not even just a little bit, but a lotta bit. what can i say, i'm just not used to this shit happening. good things, though: - applying to my first grad school (if you have tips as to how i could help improve the diversity of stanford's class, lemme know. that's the only thing standing in the way between that being done.) - spending parent's weekend with my momma...in nyc. - starting to go back to the gym. - qb's. enough said. - awesome schedule next semester. 4 day weekends every week. - catching up with friends not seen in a) FOREVER b) 3 weeks. so, apparently, i'm just like all those other people who only use lj to show how a) my life is so much harder than yours or b) my life is so much better than yours. apparently, i'm also in a kinda bitchy mood this week. i blame the campus visit office. sleep now. no more typing allowed. i find rants rather unattractive.

12:26 am	i'm not even asking for a whole 'nother week...just until wednesday would be great i am now updating in a blatant attempt to avoid having to enter the re-writing phase of my grad school personal statement. fall break has been a bit productive, although, as per usual, i did not get everything on my list done. however, as per not usual, i was able to be somewhat productive. to remind myself, here's a list: * shopping - suit for grad school, new winter coat to replace the dead pea coat, slip on closed toed shoes to replace the dead pair, halloween/purim costume bits * set up my external hd * list of grad schools finalized * applications started (read: bio info typed in) at said schools * first draft of grad school statement written, e-mailed out and received with comments. 2nd draft, here i come. * recommendations requested, packets assembled for recommenders * revised version of cv for said packets * picked up and read an entire trashy romance novel in less than 24 hours. this is what happens when i plop down in romance novel land at the library on my search for free wifi. * reading - one (of the two) papers for neuropharm on monday, some of the giant heap for hebrew bible, none of the neuropharm * honors - did jack shit. probably the thing i'm going to regret most about this break. what can i say? the sleeper doby just isn't something i want to devote precious fall break time to. * tv - only managed to catch heroes at is normally aired time. must download all others (house, weeds, antm) when back on campus. * slept - OH THANK GOD. and naturally, too. most of the times, all the way through the night. * went to a casino. oh, the hijinx. * took sir edward in for a well baby check up. chatted with mr. bearden, the only man alive allowed to call me "becky." * played with my dog. see, good break. can't it last until about wednesday, though? another half a week is all i'm asking. sorry that was long. i don't believe in cuts.

11:46 pm	tomorrow i am going to climb a mountain. literally. * today i was in the sun for less than two hours and am still disproportionately red. this is very disheartening. * apparently, sitting on a bench outside reading papers on drosophila attracts sketchy guys from kenya who decide they want to be your friend. please tell me that it was his bad grasp on english that inspired the comment "can you make my summer baby?" in an e-mail. * i was able to successfully identify the sketchy guy this time, although the avoiding him is still a bit of an issue. i just can't be mean. * it's so nice to be able to walk around downtown and enjoy free jazz. * rap does not qualify as jazz. * bookstores inspire me to read. i don't actually buy many books, i just walk around with a pad of paper and a pen and write down the name of books that i want to read. today, this led to a search for an abandoned writing utensil in a barnes and noble. surprisingly,  i was successful. * tomorrow i am going to climb a mountain. oh boy.

2:20 pm	Back in the Middle Ages aka Rebecca's Adventures sans Cell Phone so, apparently t-mobile hates burlington, vt because i don't get cell phone reception. i'm looking into ways of remedy-ing this, but, as of right now, it is as though i don't have a cell phone. don't try calling me. i won't answer, nor can i check my voice mail. also, until they give me a username and password, i can't have internet access anywhere except for the computer in my lab, so i won't be online for a while. possibly a long while. good news: you can e-mail me. i won't get to check very often, but i should be able to fairly reguarly. also, i have a landline phone. however, as of right now, i can only call out. so, if you want to talk, e-mail me and i'll give you a call. also, it's gorgeous here. at least it has that going for it. yay mountains.

11:53 pm	cause everyone else is doing life updates... i don't have much to write about, which is a total lie, because by i don't have much to write about i mean i have way too much to write about and don't really care about livejournal enough to spend the time writing it here. but i'm tired, so i'm spawning massively run on sentences like that one. in actual exciting news, i have my summer figured out. yaay! i got a paid summer fellowship doing developmental neuroscience research at the university of vermont. so, i'm going to be spending basically the whole summer in burlington, vt. plus, they're paying for housing. uber yaay! on the rebecca feels fabulous scale, i'm down a few points. i'm not sure if i'm coming down with something or if i'm still in recovery from the too much fun i had at the family party. (so what if i stay out later drinking with my family than with my friends...doesn't everyone do that?) i keep telling myself i'm going to get sleep, but that keeps not happening. (note to self: stop typing and go to sleep.) (Comment on this)

8:43 pm	something that jesus and i agree on... Jesus said, “Do not be anxious from morning to evening and from evening to morning about what you will wear." How a propos to the fact that tomorrow is Easter that I find a Jesus saying I can really get behind. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:38 pm	track record shattered.... today, i got rejected for the first time. in my life. it's okay. i didn't actually want to go to colorado state anyway. i bet they could tell from my essay. "i think what you're doing is kinda cool, but it's not really something i'm interested in doing full time, but i'm applying anyway just cause i feel like i have to send in an application everywhere i can think of." not such a successful admissions strategy, apparently...
