how is it SO HARD to find moving boxes in this city? everyone is conspiring against me ever packing my house. i have 2 weeks from tomorrow and people on craigslist want upwards of $100 for BOXES, which i find to be insane. grocery stores all apparently have compactors and refuse to just…you know…not put some boxes in the compactor. ugh.
i’m moving everything, even my dishes, in plastic bags if something doesn’t come through. fuck the world.
is doing very bad raps very loudly somewhere near my apartment. who do i have to kill to make sure this stops, SOON?
also, “doing bad raps” sounds like something a grandmother would say, so there you go. i’ve skipped right over becoming my mother and have officially become grandmotherly. regardless, the bad raps are the most egregious sin.

NERD ALERT: I love learning foreign languages, but not to the point where I develop enough confidence and attempt to speak to a native in it because, get real, that’s way too
productive and valuablenerdy. Currently, I’m obsessed with Duolingo. It’s a free, language-learning site that runs you through vocab and grammar lessons in a fun way* and allows you to help translate sentences found on the web (SO nerdy). These translations are then voted on by peers to determine the best one. It’s awesome because I can learn just enough and brush up on those sad high school Spanish “skills” before I start getting cocky and trying to convince everyone I was the first to crack the Rosetta Stone (true story, involving alcohol of course).
*You can have followers, earn skill points, update others on your progress, etc.
As of now, Duolingo is still in its infancy and currently invite only. Their available languages are Spanish, German, ESL, and French (currently in beta). They do have notifications for users when Chinese, Portuguese, and Italian will be available (crazy excited) and a rumor’s already started that Google’s looking into buying them.
Let me know if any of you nerds who actually follow me want an invite because I only have three. Come on, don’t you wanna be ~*~kewl~*~?
this is crazy cool. also, if there is still an invite to be had, i am super interested.

until i officially graduate (i went ahead and bought the stupid robe/hood/hat combo because i am a sentimental idiot at heart), and then head out to orcas island for a full week of bike rides, fresh seafood and local wine with the familia. oh and hopefully there will be whales to watch (either on a boat or from the shore, i’m not that picky). i’ll be damned if i leave washington without having seen any major sea creature in a non-aquarium setting.
also, if my whole time here was as nice as i assume this vacation is going to be, maybe i wouldn’t be SO desperate to leave. california, i am looking forward to you! greet me with jobs and burritos and gym memberships, ok? i have a master’s degree now, so that should mean something, right?

having a fierce internal debate about whether i should go to the grocery store to get stuff for a hot dinner or just eat a large bowl of the cereal i already have here and call it a day. you wouldn’t think this would be such an issue…i mean, just decide on a food to eat, call it a day, but apparently i’m incapable of making even the most meaningless decision. cool.
hi i’m an adult and i just cried at the ending of varsity blues.
shut up, world. i have so many feelings about things.
