It's amazing what you can cram into a suitcase.
I get dropped off at the curb of the MTC at 1:10 tomorrow afternoon. A few people have been asking about my blog. Here's what's going down: I am going to leave it to my sister, Julie. She will paste portions of emails that I send onto my blog every so often. I've been thinking that even if I find out that I am Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07444476073431003458noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752257563548127694.post-19873761685893401892012-01-18T01:21:00.009-07:002012-01-18T02:10:56.702-07:00Porn?No, not this blog post. No porn here. I know you were worried. I was referencing this petition that I noticed circulating facebook. Former model Nicole Weider is pushing to make it illegal to sell the magazine Cosmopolitan to anyone under the age of 18. She also wants the magazine to be put in a nontransparent plastic bag so that the cover will not be visible to children.

No, I didn't use a tub like this, but I am rather impressed with this design.

They both turned 50 within four days of each other. We had so many friends and family show up to celebrate. It was fantastic. Many thanks to my Aunt Mary for taking this video of my parents walking in. It's a little dark at first. Also, everyone sang "happy birthday" an octave higher than it should have been sung.

Insane. But it's over. Today I turned in a 25 page paper about naturalism's influence in psychology. I have been working on it all semester. It's worth 500 points and it's done. Done. DONE. Do you know how relieved this makes me feel? It's as if I've had my behavioral stats text book sitting on my lungs since September and it has suddenly disappeared.

A while ago. Three years ago? When I was going to UofL. It's cheesy and not well-made. Chairs seem to move around and disappear between shots. But to my credit, I made it in about ten minutes. It features two individuals who happen to be at the center of my affections: my youngest sister and my dog, which is why I like to watch it.

Last day coordinating break the fast. Hawaiian Haystacks. A good learning experience...but still happy and relieved to be done. Tired.
Dropped laptop on kitchen floor. Accident. Smack. Really hard. Bad. Rattling noise somewhere inside hard drive? Numerous curse words.
