I've spent quite some time working for the results that Missouri pulled last night, and I was so ecstatic to see that St. Louis was the defining county in the bellwether state.

I can't imagine a world in which he is not elected. She's running a campaign, he's spearheading a movement, and it's only going to get better.

Being involved in politics because of idealism instead of anger is an entirely foreign and welcome feeling.

Current Mood: elated

More and more I'm realizing that my personality has several counterparts, and I'm wondering if piercing my nose would alienate the good, bookish, Persian girl that most of my family sees from the part of me that really fucking wants a nose ring.

Current Location: work (last day!)

Rocky Votolato is coming to St. Louis and this time I'm going to see him! Plus his new CD is great.

My list of musicians I must see before I die is getting so short.

Current Mood: bouncy

I want to do this so badly.

I never thought I'd say this, but I need to cut down on my piano practice time.

So I finally went to the doctor about my hives , so they're gone.
And I found out my mystery gastrointestinal disease is just an ulcer.
So the bacteria will be gone in 2 weeks and the ulcer will eventually heal.

And I will be healthy!



Though this summer has been thoroughly different from last year's, I have the exact same feelings, emotions, and thoughts. When I'm at school I feel like I don't want to be anywhere else, but being home is just so damn good, even if I'm at the job that I hate as I type these words.

I'm not looking forward to going back to STL as much as I thought I would.

the movie "closer" totally dictates my policy on relationships and human nature.

Current Mood: cynical

When I look out my window, everything is white.
I walked to class under frozen trees, icicles hanging from their branches.
Yesterday's soup was cream of tomato (paired with a grilled cheese sandwich, perfect for snow days).
I had a snowball fight in the afternoon.
I had another one at two in the morning.
I made two snowmen.
I'm going sledding.
I'm really happy, for once, to not be in Florida.
Weather.com tells me it feels like 8 degrees outside (and I believe it) and I do not see how this is not justification for all classes to be canceled.

I love my life.

Everyone is registering for classes for next semester. It's getting to the point where I need to make some decisions. Linguistics or economics? International policy or cognitive science? I can't even pick a class. How am I supposed to know what I want to do for the rest of my life?

Part of me knows I should take both macro and micro econ next semester and forget linguistics.
Part of me knows that cognitive science will only matter to me if I go pre-med.
Part of me knows that I should not take French, Italian, and Persian at the same time.

The only thing that all of me knows: no more calculus.

I just saw Barack Obama and it was amazing.

Momento is one fucked up movie.

That is all.

Current Mood: busy

I'm actually happy! It might not seem like it because I never say it when I'm happy, but usually when I'm happy, I'm too busy...being happy...to go online, so yeah.

College has shown me a new side of myself....like the neat freak side. Weird.

Current Mood: happy
