The Great Gatsby as a movie!
Who’s excited? Who’s excited?!!!!
Egasf;lkj not sure how I feel about Tobey Maguire. But eh, it could be good!
Also, Leonardo Dicaprio is EVERYWHERE. (Haven’t seen it yet, but he’s also in that new Quentin Tarantino film Dchang or something like that.)
Good to hear RT @Lakers Popular answers to “Kobe’s game right now is ___” .. “beast” “flawless” “fire” “dope” “ridiculous” and “unstoppable”

Ubud Hanging Gardens Resort, Bali
romanticplaces:
Someone take me here.
Honestly, I think about this a lot. Not really about the most romantic getaways, but the places I’d love to travel to in general. Surprisingly enough, I’m not a cosmopolitan center type of person. I’m all about the exotic atmospheres and adventurous settings. Why go away to relax when you can relax at home? I want to see and do...
PRAISE THE LORD!
OH MY GAWD THANK YOU SWEET BABY JESUS! BY SOME MIRACLE I PASSED MY INTERNATIONAL LAW CLASS.
There was no way I had NOT flunked that final. Man, I came out of that class so shaken up.
I hated almost everything about that class. The professor, the GRADER, the teaching method, the classroom itself with its squeaky chairs, tight quarters, broken sound equipment, and the unbearably humid...
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Went to see this today.
Things I did not know going into this:
It was about 3 hours long.
It was rated R.
I should have known that the film was rated R considering the plot line was so graphic. Shame on me I guess.
Other than that, the acting was great. Also, the plot was very well written. A little slow at the beginning, but so were the books. Wow, again, I really didn’t expect...
Oh hey Christmas, New Year, January, February...
This past Christmas came and went so fast. I feel like I barely got to enjoy it.
All I remember was cramming for finals, rushing to pack my dorm, and flying into LA. Before I got settled down, I got swept up in the holiday festivities…jumping from dinner party to dinner party. Then Christmas came and went as if it were any other day. Now, I’m struggling to catch everyone before...
My “home” button on my phone won’t work. #firstworldproblems
Last minute dress shopping
All of the lights... (Cue Kanye)
Despite having a frustrating time trying to get back home, my flight wasn’t too bad. Maybe, I was to exhausted to care, Idk.
I slept for the majority of the trip and watched bits and pieces of Cash Cab and The Office. But, there was a moment I looked out the window and was in awe of what I saw. It’s kind of hard to describe, but imagine a wide endless expanse of night sky....
Mom’s Xmas present to me: Trip to China this summer for my cousin’s graduation for her MA at Beijing University!!!
-____- I step out for two quarters and we’re down by 27.

5a and I'm still not done packing.
This is the worst.
Erryday I’m tumblring…
Haha, update:
4 boxes, the bathroom is about empty, the desk is cluttered, the dresser is empty, the kitchen cabinets are empty and I’m dying for sleep.
Woo! In the past 48 hours I’ve had 4 hours + periodic 15 min naps.
Looking forward to the flight…I don’t even care that it’s not Virgin or JetBlue.

Still awake. Might go for those insomnia cookies right about now #midnightmunchies
I probably do nowhere near as much work as other...
How do you guys do it?
Just kidding
I will be looking forward to spending winter break with no writing AFTER I finish:
Rewriting my last French essay
2 page summary essay on the UN Delegation
4 page response essay on the UN Delegation (in hopes that this publication will take it)
Editing the interview-material for Earshot
Ugh.
What my semester was like:
6 three page papers for Islamic Diasporas
1 30-50 page paper for Socialist Theory (I wrote 32)
1 30 page paper for International Law
1 midterm for International Law
4 essays in French (Increasing from 350-500 words over the semester)
3 French tests
1 French oral presentation
1 French oral exam
Periodic online lab assignments for French (Ugh, I should have accounted more time...
Obviously..
my French prof has his phone set to French. Because the last email I got was “Envoyé de mon iPhone”
I’m also betting he’s one of those ppl who take notes in French too.
Ugh…so why does he speak so much English in class?!! I will NEVER be fluent!
I have decided...
I will write a book (a small book…maybe a pamphlet) on all the funny things my professor has said throughout the semester which have cluttered the margins of my notebook.
I will probably not be rich..but will be able to spread joy throughout the world -or maybe just to myself- this holiday season.

Comments from my professor on my most recent essay...
It was a very interesting dialogue. I hadn’t had you pegged as a zombie enthusiast, so this was a very welcome surprise.
LOL!
…I’m not a zombie enthusiast. ..Just a student looking to entertain herself on a potentially dull essay topic (Debates).
..Maybe I’ll post my essay once I’m finished correcting it.
Maybe.

Pet peeves
I know people get really excited that they end finals early and have the time to visit. But, what you don’t realize, is that I’m slaving away still trying to prepare for MY finals. I don’t have time to hang out with you. Also, at this point in the semester, I’d rather not. I’d rather make sure my GPA doesn’t go down the drain thank you very much. ALSO,...

WatchSo, here’s my attempt to give you a tour of the study lounge I am in.
…Was thinking about getting a study room, but the lounge proved to be quiet enough…thus why you can’t really here me..
The red bldg is the library and then I sort of attempt to show you the view of Washington Sq. Park from my seat…but that was sort of a fail. Plus, there are people around the...

I really do hope you didn’t find it rude that I was staring at your tattoos for the entirety I was at the library. Or that while you were listening to MGMT (one of my favorite bands, actually) I stared at you and mouthed the words while you gave me a blank stare. That was the most awkward moment…
Guilty pleasures. Yup.
