So I'm now entirely moved into my new apartment and it's pretty much organized and everything is put away... hooray!I also have set up the wireless internet so I can watch TV and surf the internet at the same time... woah. AND I've decided to pay the extra 10 dollars a month to get DVR which is AMAZING. I'll never miss a show again! (Or a Cary Grant movie... I can search weeks in advance and

Amazing. Go see it. Best movie I've seen in awhile. Deliciously ironic, and the characters aren't half bad either ;-). Oh, and it's HILARIOUS. The final scene is just priceless. I almost couldn't stop laughing. Go. Now. :-)

The weather, not the band. Heat wave going through Chicago/midwest. We're under an "excessive heat warning". If I didn't know life without air conditioning, I would pooh-pooh it as a lame, made up weather forecast, but I can see the dangers. My dad was nice enough to buy me a small window unit which has been on max the past couple of days and nights without a break. Today, even with it on

I'm slowly spiraling deeper into the real world. Although I have yet to find a job (correction: yet to be hired. I've found a job that I want oh-so-much, but won't hear anything for awhile.), I've reached the decision to start looking for apartments. Because I'm staying in Chicago, even if I have to end up working for B&N again. So I'm looking for apartments without a job. Or income. Ah

Kenny and I have realized that the Star Wars trilogy and the soon-to-be Pirates trilogy are CRAZY similar.Here are the comparisons:1. Jack Sparrow = Han Solo. nuf said. (they're both pirates, they're both hot, and they're both badass (waaaay cooler than the "luke" figure). Also, both are misogynistic and ultra-independent. PS. Carbonite vs. Eaten by a giant octopus/squid. CLEARLY the same

This is probably my longest break without writing. I should get a prize. Fortunately, I'm assuming the long break scared off the 2 people who actually read my blog after I left Deutschland so now I'm free to write WHATEVER! mwa ha ha.I'm graduated from college now so that means I'm in the "real world". Which isn't that much different than the college world, as I don't have a job yet. If you

And not posting on this is a habit. Although, few people read it, so I guess it isn't that big of a deal. My summer hasn't been that exciting. Studying for the LSAT (yes, I started early but studying for the LSAT is just training your brain to think in certain ways, which takes time.) Hanging out around Evanston. Last weekend I went to Delaware with my sister to visit my Grandmother. It was

Sorry about the long break. The end of school came up on me, then senior week, then moving into new apt. I'm still not unpacked at all but I at least have time to just sit around and chill. Mom came up this past weekend and helped me buy stuff for my apartment and helped me get settled a bit. So now I have a bed! Big improvement from the air mattress I was sleeping on ;-). It was fun.

So this week is shaping up to suck. First of all, Sam brought an epidemic of the flu to Gaffield, which I also ended up catching. It's kind of cool though, because it shows the incubation period for the virus: Sam had it Monday... then 5 days later, Evan gets it saturday, I get it sunday, Eliot gets it sunday night. Hopefully that's the extent of it and no one else gets sick. Also, Twister is

So chicago has finally shown it's true colors. Rainy and cold, which sucks by itself but then the Cubs game got postponed til tomorrow. Boohiss. At least it'll give Prior another day to heal? ;-) Not like it makes a difference.I'm exhausted.

So I come back to America and I'm right back into my one post a month habits ;-) As of now, I'm living in the Penthouse (top floor, which just consists of our room (quad) and a bathroom and a study lounge. But it's like it's own apartment. Seriously, the quad part, that has our beds and desks and dressers, is HUGE! In anycase, I am back, and have survived christmas, new years, rush, life. :-)

I'M HOME! Which is awesome, even though I have no phones. Ah well. Hopefully, the spirit of christmas will work with me and let me have my old cell phone number back. Cross your fingers for me. So yeah, coming home was fine, except my first two flights were delayed, which made me very very nervous but it's all good. (The second flight being the one from london to Chicago!) But!

Alison's Updating!!!!! So I really should be working. But I haven't worked for the last, mmm, 3 hours, and I don't think I'm going to work right now, so I'd figure I'd let everyone know that I'm still alive. Since my last update, I guess a lot has happened. Sort of? Mostly my life has just involved a ton of work. Mom, Stephen and Bradley came to visit the week of thanksgiving... their visit

So, I'm sick. Which sucks a lot, because I have so much to do this week... and tuesday is not a good day to miss class, because 4 out of my 5 classes meet on tuesdays. But after spending much of the night in front of a toilet, I figured it'd probably be smart not to go. ended up getting up at 5pm. whoops.

So I have about 10 minutes before we're meeting downstairs to go shopping. I figured I might as well update you on the goings on these past, uh, 2 days? Dinner w/ the Mitbewohners turned out great!

It's been awhile, but things have been crazy here so no time to update :-). And I really should be doing homework right now buuuuuuut... nah ;-). It won't take long and I don't think my professor is that strict about due dates. So last weekend we went to Paris, which was wonderful (and the first time I really liked it... I actually want to go back, was was was?! (trans: what what what?!).

and rainy rest of the week, for that matter. Freiburg is supposed to have the best weather in germany, but aside from this weekend (sunny and temperatures almost reaching 80, I do believe!) all we've gotten is rain. And more rain. And even more rain. And it'll rain the rest of the week. Cross your fingers for me, we're going to Paris this weekend, I hope so much it isn't raining there! As

Nicole and Me at Neuschwanstein Originally uploaded by thalia291. So, as many of you know, on Friday Nicole and I pulled a "suicide day trip" to Neuschwanstein. Which actually ended up being the best thing EVER. But I'll start at the beginning...Friday morning we left Freiburg at 12:14am. And then proceeded to take 3 trains to get to Füssen, one of the gateway towns to Neuschwanstein.

Yeah so it's Tuesday! Which is my least favorite day of the week because I have 6.5 hours of class. Yessssssssssssss. Although the good news is that Sex and the City and Scrubs are on Tuesday nights ;-) So that makes up for it. almost. I'm home for my pause inbetween chunks of class and I figured I might as well update because... I'd rather do that than read ;-). Today is rainy and not too

Ok so I figure it's about time for me to let you all know about my adventures in Berlin. So here is what will probably be the longest post ever written... I'm pretty much copying it out of my journal so I'm sorry if some of it doesn't make sense? aaaaaaaaaand we're off! Sunday: I accidentally set my alarm for 6 pm instead of am (brilliant, just brilliant) so I didn't wake up until they buzzed

... is their big party for all the first semester students to come and dance and have fun. So, because approx. everyone I know is in Bonn/Köln this weekend, I decided to go w/ Charlie (also american and w/ IES) and my two guy roommates. It started out as a pretty nice evening: Charlie brought down some wine and we had nice chit chatting time for about an hour, get to know you time. Then we

So I now have my 3rd and final roommate: Leander (?) I think that's his name. He seems nice enough but we didn't really talk or hang out that much. Another good thing, Dominick plays the guitar and he's actually pretty decent. like, he's playing right now and I can hear him and it's pretty cool. Mmmmm that's it. *still singing lover boy* ;-)

Pictures from berlin are finally uploaded! See and enjoy. http://community.webshots.com/user/thalia291 Life is going pretty well here I guess. I have a new roommate: Dominick. He's nice and friendly, so that's good. Tonight he is cooking some Bavarian specialty (he's from Munich) so I'm happy at least that I don't have to cook :-). Except I'm really hungry right now and I think I just

Ok so I PROMISE I'll write my Berlin update, but it's going to be frikin long so I haven't yet. Also, I don't have pictures yet (for reasons you will discover soon) so that's another reason I haven't. Some of my Berlin experiences were strictly audio-visual. But in a wonderful way. Hahahahaha. I promise, explanations will come soon. Maybe Berlin will have to be many little updates, so I can

So last night ended up being lots of fun. First we went out to eat with Christine and her parents, then we went to the planetarium. Which was cool because I did understand most of what they said! Then we went to an Irish Pub where they had live music and hung out there for awhile, before heading to El.Pi., which is a fun dance club they have here. It was SO much fun. First of all, they

Yeah so not much has happened this week. Yesterday and today we had our placement tests for our german classes the rest of the quarter. It's been cool and rainy, so we just haven't done much. Costas (whose full name is Constantinos! how cool is that?) leaves today. Sadness, because I know him and he's nice. Ah well. Tonight we are probably going out to eat, then to the planetarium to see "

So this is us at a biergarten, or just outside one on the hill Freiburg surrounds... isn't it gorgeous?!In other news, I am the best cook EVER. I wanted to be healthy, so I bought frozen salmon for dinner... then got home w/ no clue how to cook it. so I literally MADE UP a recipe for it in a saucepan on the stove and it

So we played the board game w/ Costas and it was a lot of fun! Best line of the evening: Costas: You are not Switzerland, you have to choose! (when Christine made megan and me rock paper scissors for who could trade w/ her.) also, when he got a really good deal: "what the fuck is going on?" only w/ an accent so it was really funny. ok that's all :-)

Glacier in Alps Originally uploaded by thalia291. That means hiking weekend, by the way. So this weekend, since thursday I guess, was very interesting.First, thursday night all the german classes went out to the movies, 3 classes seeing Der Untergang (including mine) and 1 seeing Sommersturm. Both were pretty bad experiences. Der Untergang is a movie showing the last two or so days of

Everyone Originally uploaded by thalia291. So yesterday was Krista's birthday, we had a small party involving lots of amusing things because we had to scratch things together. Not because it was done at the last minute, but only because our suites aren't equipped w/ the latest (or most common) appliances. First, Jayme baked the cake in my suite while a bunch of us were there working on

I still don’t have internet in my room but I’m hoping to have it by the end of this week. I’m writing this on Sunday as I sit in my room, however I know it won’t be posted til tomorrow, so bear with me ☺. Yesterday we visited Strasbourg, in Alsace (that’s as in Alsace-Lorraine). We took a boat tour of the city first and then were given 2 hours free time to explore on our own. My little group

Hey guess what?! I'm in Germany! And will be for quite some time. Freiburg is beautiful and I've met several really nice/cool people. :-) Good times. I live in a suite in which 3 more people will (eventually) live. Right now there are only two others, a girl named Annett and a boy from Greece. i don't know his name because I couldn't understand it ever and his mailbox only has his first

I think now I'm afraid to post anything very detailed, or any of my opinions. Because of what happened in february. Of course, I knew that that would happen. Ah well. If any of you care, or are reading this at all, I'm going to try to be better, especially when I go to germany. It's hard, though, to write things. Because I'm not specifically talking to anyone and see this as more of a

IT IS SO FRIKIN HOT! I don't know how people lived before airconditioners. Well I do, they slept naked and took lots and lots of cold showers. But I don't know what people did before then. They must have just killed each other. Like in France. Like Sam joked today: it's the same as the Reign of Terror... it got hot in France, everyone got pissed off and they just started chopping each

Craziest things happen in multiples: So last week, in the midst of my holocaust final paper writing extravaganza, a friend that I went to Germany with ages ago (like 3 years?) called me and we talked for awhile and remembered stuff. It was strange, but not completely random, because we've talked online a couple of times and since he goes to Loyola, I gave him my number so we could meet up

So, back at school... but I think this quarter is going to be the best one ever. First, the weather is fantastic. Second, I have a really good schedule. :-) For those of you who want to see pictures of my spring break, go here: Sam is Lame and won't give me the card to put the pictures on my computer That's all... I'm really hungry and need food. NOW!

So I'm back from spring break... which was the most amazing thing times 10 to the millionth. Many, many thanks to Evan and his parents and his beautiful house/city! Also, it's getting to be almost a month since my last update, so I feel I ought to update you all (and brag about the wonderfulness of spring break). Here is a somewhat quick rundown of all of the fabulousness that occurred:

What what what?! Is this an update?! HOLY SHIT! Yes, Alison is updating. Thanks to 5 page german paper due tomorrow... bleh. Looking for lots of ways to procrastinate. I'm actually at Sam's right now (shhhh, don't tell ;-)). hehehehe. Life (believe it or not) is crazy busy. Look at my picture site. It's fun.

Quick pre-chapter update. I have about 15 minutes before Chapter Dinner starts at KD so I'm going to utlize this time to be productive and update my blog :-). Valentine's Day was WONDERFUL! We went out for Sushi dinner and then went back to Sam's apartment, where he had baked me a BLACK FOREST CHERRY CAKE!!!!!!!! Which, for anyone who doesn't know my passion for these, is the MOST DELICIOUS

Seeing as it's 4:16 and I have been laying in my bed for a good hour plus, I've given up trying to sleep. Time for a good old-fashioned update. SO! Monday was my birthday, hip hip hooray! Wonderfulness... Sam, My mom, and Miriam all got me flowers because they love me :-). Also, sam got me Casablanca and Under the Tuscan Sun... whoohoo! but now he has to watch at least Casablanca with me.

Yeah so I'm not doing so well at keeping this updated, but oh well. Life has been crazy... as most of you know both of my grandfather's passed away last weekish. Which led to me running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Ah well. Yesterday was my grandfather gene's funeral... which was very nice; lots of people so that's good. Nicholas provided the comic relief, of course.

So apparantly there's some real sh*t happening at North. To all who read my blog that care about it/ go to it/whatever: support sunil! And not just in a wear-a-tshirt way, but also give him hugs and love. because that's just as important. Think of it as morale. I'm about to head over to KD to do the first degree initiation for the new member... ooooooooooo! I met a bunch of them last

I'm trying to get back in all my old habits. Like wasting time updating things on the computer ;-). So I'm having a lovely afternoon reading and uploading more cds onto my ipod. I'm taking a break though. no more Henry Kissinger. My momma (pledge) came and visited me just now! Wonderful, because I haven't seen her for months. Seriously. For once, I don't exaggerate. So I'm looking

Ok... so this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay late. Sorry for the big space but I just got so busy and swamped and never thought about updating this. however, due to popular demand, it's back! I didn't even realize that it was "taken over" until almost christmas. And even then, it was Alex and Glen that mentioned it and so if it hadn't been for them I would have never seen it. So since

So winter finally decided to come... ARG! IT'S SO FRIKIN COLD OUTSIDE! and windy besides, of course. Basically, it sucks. And I spent all day without a hat because I lost it (I found it later at KD) but that made for a very cold class time. I'm guessing I'm going to have to give up the bike soon. :-( My poor little cheeks were dying! On the bright side, I declared my German Major! I have

WOAH! After my last post, I went to my WNUR meetings, which finished in just enough time for me to slip into Leverone Aud. for Ann Coulter. While her speech was fine, and I learned that she knows approx. nothing about religion, she actually stayed to listen to and answer everyone's questions. And then stayed even longer for pictures and to sign books and things. Now I respect this a lot,

Hanging out. I can't wait to go to purdue this weekend! woohoo! :-) now I just have to organize myself, etc. so that I don't screw myself over by leaving this weekend. le sigh. 2 projects due next week... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee On the bright side, I'm going to declare my major very, very soon. YAY! I feel so good. Other than that, I don't have too much else to say. . . nothing is

I just woke up from a nap, which was actually short... less than an hour, I believe. Only now my head is all fuzzy and weird so what better way to wake up than to babble on here :-). blarg. So the biggest victim of hate crimes here actually made them up. Geeez. Amy (Kiley's) profile has a good quote on it: "It shouldn't take an act of hate to bring together a community." And that's true.

I'm good at updating things. AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. But people are yelling at me, so I'll post something quick before I move onto homework. Things have been crazy busy lately, as you probably have figured out. Friday was formal... SO MUCH FUN!!!! I have TONS of pictures, which I want to post online... I'm taking suggestions for a free website I can use. Anyone, anyone? In anycase, it

Ok, a million and one things have happened since I last posted... as a brief update... Tuesday night (or wednesday morning ;-)) at Midnight I threw a surprise birthday party for Sam... yay for him being 21 and able to buy me.... books. ;-) I also baked him a cake! Soon, I will figure out how to post pictures here, if I can? or somewhere on the internet. The problem is that my pictures are

OK.... So you know you're a college student when you use shot glasses to guess at the dosage for cough syrup. on to a more serious subject... so, evanston (and nu) seems to be suffereing from various crimes. Some interesting information has come to my attention: "After suburban Evanston banned handguns in mid-1982, Evanston's robbery rate rose 8 percent the following year (while nationwide

It has come to my attention that I forgot to mention another birthday... the 25th was Seren's birthday. YAY SEREN! He's so important, he gets an entire post dedicated to the fact that his birthday was saturday. wooohooo! See you, Space Cowboy ;-)

Yay for Sundays. So slow and nice, even if they're always 95% work. I've decided, after listening to Poop Chute Riot's #1 hit, Sam Likes It (in the butt), that I miss Chris and his breadmaker making all of the 4th floor and stairwells smell like bread. I am therefore now bidding on breadmakers on ebay. Woohoo! God bless ebay. and happy birthday to Laura and Evan. Laura the 26th, Evan

sorry for the massive delay, but I had midterm and essay. So that pretty much sums up my life until friday. Friday I spent cleaning and I went over to Sam's to do some work. THEN! PARTY for Wizzer... friends of Nafis, but not altogether a bad party. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY AND AMAZINGLY.... NAFIS IS THE HOMECOMING KING!!!!!!!! YAY NAFIS!! Also, we beat wisconsin! haha! it was totally

Ahhhhh, tuesdays. Why are they always so stressful? I don't *really* have anything going on, it just always seems to be that my classes converge on me. Elizabeth and I finished our linguistics homework exactly ONE minute before running out the door to get to class. arrrggggghhhhh. AND Tomorrow = Calc Midterm. Obviously, I'm not too worried about it. I just need to make sure I remember

Yeah so ANOTHER one of my friends ran across the speck porn file and talked to me about it. For the record, for those of you at NU, there is a porn file that is titled speckporn, however it's not me. Which is obvious after the first couple of seconds into it... but just trust me on this. It's frustrating though, every time this comes up. On the bright side, today was BEAUTIFUL!!!! Highs

Changing time. Letting you all know, that Nafis is up for Homecoming King, so you should vote for him, and tell everyone you know, including that person you see walking down Sheridan a lot, to vote for him. Also, YAYNESS for the fact that Amy called me this evening! Hurrah for her! :-) I'm trying to go to purdue (with Eliot) for the purdue/northwestern game, so if you have a car and feel

So, I had a big long post detailing my weekend and stuff and things, but I accidentally deleted it. Now I'm going to bed and you all are just going to have to cry until I rewrite it all. Because I don't feel like it now. I have a brain... I just took it out so it wouldn't get wet.

An Ode to Nafis, in the form of a Haiku: Three cheers for Nafis The precious Bengali boy Oh how I love him. So, I ate dinner with Nafis tonight. Also with a bunch of other people (Evan, Anthony, Ben, Kevin, Doug, Karl, Peter, Mike, Courtney, and Sam), but of course, Nafis was the most important. Now, Nafis is seeing Play it Again Sam. I wish I could be there with him. Luckily, I get to go

This will have to be short, because I have so frikin much german to do. Today was pretty basic, not special or anything. I, uh, cleaned my room up a bit. So yeah, dull day. I ran into a kid on my bike today. Whoops ;-). I want a Jeep. They're SO MUCH FUN! But not very practical in Chicago, land of the cold. Oh well. I have to get to work. Before I'm up all night.

So yeah. You all know the Cubs lost. BUT... next year they'll win ;-). Hopefully. Miriam and I are taking donations from anyone who wants to buy us season tickets! Interestingly enough, Sam was the calmest I have seen him throughout the game. He barely spoke, and when it was over, he just went into his room and started working. I think he was just stunned. Poor Sam. Poor Ewiot. :-( I

Unbelievable. Granted, I'm not a hardcore cubs fan... but seriously, please don't say anything joking or mean about the cubs. I've been around sam too much and I think it's rubbing off. Loser(because I shouldn't use any more colorful language...) I also didn't do very well on my psych midterm. ALSKDdfjasldj. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day...

It's raining. I'm wet. HOWEVER, I think I just realized why everyone is addicted to these live-journal things... it's pure procrastination! Right now, I could be doing several important and necessary things, most importantly, my linguistics homework. Instead, I choose to log on to this and complain about the rain. And me having to bike up to Annenberg in it. Without a raincoat, because

Ok, so I'm a tool. But I do have a reason for weakening and creating a blog... it's so everyone can be updated in my life, and people don't get mad at me when they don't know I got sick and was in the hospital ;-) (sorry about that). So everyone will be happy! And maybe I won't be so much of a tool... Although I do have a social psych midterm tomorrow. wheeeeeeee. I should be reading.
