stupid future
I’m pretty sure I don’t want to be a teacher.

But I can’t stop thinking about being a teacher….
Thoughts
-I wish I had about $300 dollars to spend on new clothes right now. Most of my clothes are at least 2 years old, if not leftovers from high school. It’s hard not to feel like this is unacceptable. I’m desperate for a professional wardrobe. Also: Jason Wu for Target.
-On the other hand, materialism is slavery… or something. Can you tell I have to read Marx tonight? Also, I...

Things I've been daydreaming about
Snow
Jordan/Lebanon

Owning a tea kettle
Not worrying about money
Not worrying about my job
Fixing my car’s brakes by myself (so much cheaper, but hard work)
Owning cute shoes that...
Old Year
(I tried to post this earlier, but the internet wasn’t working)
I say this with the least self pity possible: I have never had a good New Year’s Eve. Okay, not quite true. But I’ve never had a romantic, celebratory New Year’s…. I wasn’t so popular in high school, and of course there weren’t many ladies around to date, and now that I’m in college,...

(un)productivity
It turns out, I’m the least productive person ever. I really need to get myself together, but I can’t seem to. My thesis is boring me, and I have trouble focusing at home, but I don’t have a car to drive to the library/a coffee shop. I’m not even wasting time in a productive way. The internet is my worst enemy right now.
I keep daydreaming about finishing college,...

The Frenemy.: Drunk Thoughts →
thefrenemy:
I should buy another drink because if I don’t my social lubricant will dry up and die
I can only talk to people at a certain point of drunkeness
I’m not drunk enough to enjoy all these people
Goodness, I will try my damndest to reach a point of enjoyment
My bed is probably the most…
Sometimes it’s hard to be a queer lady in a straight relationship… but maybe that’s just my own personal first world problem.
To Do list 12/6

Thinking about:
-Concerto for Strings and Violin in A Minor by Bach. I’m playing the first movement for my jury next week and I am NOT satisfied with how it sounds right now. -Taking violin lessons again...
Love All in Jericho
levantineshaheen:
Hundreds of Palestinian refugee students from UN schools sit in the shape of Pablo Picasso’s ‘Peace Dove’ and write “LOVE ALL” at the foot of the Mount of Temptation in Jericho on Nov. 25, 2011, in a UNRWA/Project Peace on Earth project in partnership with international artist John Quigley.(taken from Maan News: http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=439526)
Gratefully not Dead
This time last year, I was in Jordan cooking with my classmates. I feel strangely nostalgic considering I would do anything to always spend Thanksgiving with my family.
Obligatory introspective list of things I’m thankful for (because this kind of thing is good for us, kids):
- My wonderful family, everywhere. I’m so lucky to have such a tight-knit and supportive family.
-...
