I have this "friend" here at school who, for the sake of internet anonymity, I will call Tina. Tina is a very self-repressed person, who takes every opportunity to "other" herself. This bothers me because she has either intentionally, or unknowingly lumped me into league with the great white oppressor because I have the audacity to NOT have a huge ancestral guilt trip just because I'm white. That, however, is not the immediate cause of todays frusteration. Mind you, it has distanced me from her and generally made me not want to be around her, which has made todays frusteration all the more frusterating, but only by benefit of compounding exasperation. Now, to set up, I have this desire to go to Prague, and ever since I found that I can get round trip air fare for less than $350 if I order early enough, I've been toying with the idea of trying to get a group to go next spring break. However, I have not asked her to go because I know she isn't as much of a traveller as me. We were talking about studying abroad at dinner today, and she started railing on Prague, like "who the hell would ever want to go there?" This got to me because, #1 she doesn't even know what country Prague is in, #2 she knows I want to go there and was only saying it to irk me, and #3 it was completely unnecessary for her to even mention it in the first place. *long deep breath* I wouldn't hang out with her at all if we didn't have the same friends. Lately she's turned into the type who has to have some damned snappy remark for everything, and I can't stand that.

Other than that, things are going ok. I have a research paper due in about 5 days that I haven't started writing yet. I'm writing it in my head, and I have tons of notes and scribbles written out from my resources, it's just a matter of putting it to paper at this point. If only I had about 2 months and 20 more pages to fill, I could turn out a much better paper.

One of my English professors mentioned the possibility of enlisting my help on putting up a website with his research and results from his sabatical project. I'm so excited about the possibility. It's my favorite professor, and I swear the man knows everything, so I know it would be a fun learning experience for me. I hope I get to do it. :)

This summer my friends and I are hoping to take a camping trip to Big Sur, CA. It's a beautiful place, and it would be fun in a big group. I hope we get to go, I haven't been camping in so long! I can't wait for the summer to get here! Also, I ordered a digital camera last night, so as soon as I get it I want to take some pictures of my school and my friends here to post on my site :)
