finished my paper for my food and culture class that’s worth 30% of my class grade.
it was supposed to be an 8-9 page paper including a bibliography page…it ended up being 13 pages including the bibliography.
whatever whatever. i’m going to do some editing tomorrow but my professor can deal. it’s her fault she assigned us so much shit to do at the end of the...
can we talk about how my best friend from high school got in a really terrible bike accident last year during a race, went into a coma for 11 days, woke up and spent last spring and summer relearning how to read and write and now she made a comeback to racing this spring and is once again getting 1st place in her races and is still one of the top collegiate cyclists in the country?

today at work we literally had a line out the door for six hours. so my coworkers on register decided to have fun and take a “bro” survey. they literally asked every customer (college student or no) whether or not they identified as a bro. these were some of the results:
old people didn’t know what “bro” meant
college bros didn’t identify as bros
everyone...

somehow i caught some unfortunate plague-like disease.
all my bones are aching, particularly my jaw. i’m super shaky. my nose can’t decide whether it wants to be plugged up with snot or let it all pour down my face. luckily my throat doesn’t hurt as bad today but it’s still scratchy and i’ve got a cough now. also breathing is awful and every time i open my mouth to...

here’s what i wore (see picture in my previous post to see some of these things):

So yesterday morning I sliced my finger open really badly while cutting bread with a serrated knife. In the ensuing visit to university health services I had an experience that threw me off a little bit at the time but didn’t really bother me until I got the chance to think about it last night.
When I was in the room at uhs with mara, the nurse and the doctor and they were explaining to...
