hottest man alive, now even hotter

I <3 SF

SF is beautiful.

Mathilde and I hiked hiked hiked til we got to the ocean.
Oh water, I will miss thee!

On a more tragic note, I finished Midnight's Children on the plane.

In other words, I must now abandon that fabulous novel to a lucky hotel maid.
But maybe that will reduce the weight of my suitcase, which was 20 pounds over the "free" limit!!

Party tonight! goodbye goodbye goodbye to childhood friends.

MUST finish Midnight's Children!

library

Tomorrow's the day I find out if I'll have a future of worth to return to in two years. If I bomb the GRE, I will build a career as a Peace Corps volunteer. Oh, I'm kidding.
I'm over at UHH, letting my numb, frozen butt become reacquainted with the library.... but ahhh I am WAY too distracted to study. All I can think about is how much I need to get done before I leave for China.
SIX days, baby!

GRE

Took a practice test today.
My score got worse. What the hell? It could be because I got even dumber, if that's possible. Or it could also be because there's absolutely no peace in this house. TOO MUCH NOISE.
This misery will be over by Tuesday. Then I can get Rosetta Stoned. :)
