MY LIFE MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW. (Well, sort of.)
I finally decided to google “Malaysian Cantonese” since I speak Cantonese with a very heavy Malay accent. (When I was little, I had a Malaysian Cantonese-speaking nanny and I interacted with her more than my parents due to their work.)
I came across this page and [...]
I turned in my written exam today and slid it underneath Chiang Laoshi’s door and apparently she can’t find it.
I’m about ready to cry, guys. I thought Friday the 13th wasn’t going to affect me at all– but I WAS WRONG.
If it’s not there, then I don’t know where it is. Plain and simple. I [...]
I went on Facebook intent on only a) updating my status and b) replying to a few messages that have been sitting in my inbox.
The next thing I knew, almost an hour had gone by.
Epic fail.
… It’s not out of the ordinary to hear girls belting out LeeAnn Rimes’ “Right Kind of Wrong” down the hall at 9 PM.
I’m currently sitting in my dorm room, bleary-eyed and grumpy (hello world, I am not a morning person) and trying to muster up the strength to stumble down to the hall to brush my teeth and put on socially acceptable clothes (not just a tank and running shorts) to print out stuff at the library.
I [...]
Actually, it wasn’t midnight when the lot of us decided to go on a Wawa run for their incredible milkshakes*. (And really, I was just curious about the Wawa supermarket chain after hearing about it from Clara. Doesn’t the name make you think of the Unknown Fifth Teletubby? Or maybe I’m weird.)
So Andrea, Amanda, Isel, [...]
1. Not being able to peer into the dryer because it’s up too high and definitely not at eye-level. Even when I’m standing on my tip-toes looking incredibly pensive. Therefore unable to determine if I’ve missed anything small.
1. Isel, Winnie, Andrea, Cristina, Brianna, Amanda, Yong Jung, and I invited Lucy and Maggie (SRPs from Tri-Co) to see The Wackness with us at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. It was like a mini Tri-Co thing. Only not.
It was a pretty good movie, though I nearly choked when I realized that Josh Peck was [...]
So, Friday started with all of us getting the ever lovin’ shit scared out of us by a guy named Dr. Payne (pronounced “pain” and no, I am not making this up) who acts and sounds a lot like Lewis Black only a lot more bitter (a la House). His sole purpose in life is [...]
Goddamn, I love small liberal arts colleges.
Tri-Co ’secret’ tradition of water balloon fight at the Cloisters. (I fell into the fountain by accident and resembled a drowned kitten.)
Friendly Swarthmore Boy (now forever referred to as “Zack” because I fail at utilizing memorable nicknames) is also a House fan which makes me happy. I love that [...]
There were too many moments when I was like “this is amazing and wonderful but all I really want to do is go take a nap” because today’s discussion topics were very sensitive and it being the anniversary of Kevin’s death… Both are touchy topics for me to begin with, but combining them together on [...]
Okay, everyone and their grandmother knows that I lost my cell, right?
(This took place today right after lunch, when almost everyone had arrived back at Dalton 300–where most of the workshops take place.)
Student Resource Persons: *making general announcements* Also, someone lost an LG Chocolate phone, so if anyone finds one please contact one of us.
Random [...]
So, there’s this guy who goes to Swarthmore (not to be confused with Friendly Swarthmore Boy) caught my attention. Not in a romantic sense, but in a “huh, he seems very interesting” sort of way. He’s very cute, blond with blue eyes, dresses well, plays piano, and is very soft-spoken (and he speaks fluent French [...]
Hanging out with future roommate Andrea in Erdman common room.
Andrea and my family had Thai/Japanese lunch together. No room for actual dinner when we returned. But we met Friendly Swarthmore Boy! Also, small world. Friendly Swarthmore Boy went to the same school where my former principal (he got tenure this year) Joe Wilson … er, [...]
