  <description>So I have been in Spain for a week and so far its pretty awesome. Its so different from the US in so many ways, and most of them good ways. First of all the whole schedule of the day is completely different. Ive had to wake up early cause I have intensive language and culture classes that started last week and end on Friday but it seems like around 9 is about the same time that everyone else starts their day, most of the shops aren open until 10 though. Breakfast is very very small, Ive just had a few pieces of bread and jam with orange juice. Breakfast foods as we know them do not exist in Spain, except for cereal, they have that. Then people go about thair lives until around 2, then everyone leaves their job, there are no classes and all the stores close for la comida. I eat the comida at 230 and itś a really big and delicious meal that could be paella, or for instance today I had this really good soup and then chicken in a white wine sauce. After the comida its the siesta, but its not really a nap like we think of a nap. All the news is on at this time of the day so they watch the news and doze off in their chairs. Nothing really reopens until 4 or 5 and then the day continues until about 8 or 9. At 930 or 10 is the cena, or supper, which is a much lighter yet still delicious meal. Then people watch tv some more or hang out. If you go out its not until at least 11, but a lot of the clubs dont really get crowded until 2ish. The other night I was out until 4 in the morning and it didn even seem like it was late at all, there were still as many people out as there was at 12. A lot of people stay out until the cafes open at 5 or 6 and then have churros and chocolate, churros are like sticks of fried dough and you dip them in hot chocolate, which is basically just melted chocolate and its delicious. Its kind of a theme that all the food is delicious, especially since my senora is a wonderful cook. But just in general, I am a pretty picky eater and the only thing that I havent liked was seafood paella, which had shrimp (they still had eyes and atennaes!) and calimari and other things that I really dont like. But things like ham that I dont like in the US Ive been liking here. &lt;br /&gt;Im definitely still adjusting to everything, its different when you know that youre going to be somewhere for awhile, I havent been doing tourist things and Im still figuring out my way around the city and whatnot. I can wait until I know my way around the city, Ive already been discovering cool places but theres still so much to find. Ive only gone shopping for one day but this time of the year is the best time to go because they have rebajas, or sales, that last until march! All of the stores have rebajas and I think its pretty much the coolest idea ever. Ive already decided that Im going to get myself a good pair of black boots, everyone wears boots in Europe, and skinny jeans, but I dont think I can pull off the skinny jeans look. &lt;br /&gt;Also, everyone is out on the street all the time, it makes me wonder if anyone works besides the bartenders and waiters. Its a really cool atmosphere though, everyone just gets together outside and you can see old couples walking around all the time, even at 3 in the morning. Salamanca has the Plaza Mayor which is the prettiest plaza ever. Its huge and everyone just goes there to hang out. I cant wait until its warmer out and I can just laze outside in the sun. &lt;br /&gt;So basically Im really enjoying myself so far and I feel like its only going to get better once Im completely settled in and have a schedule of classes and stuff. I need to upload my pictures and post some here but for now this is a pretty good summary of the things Ive noticed so far. Hasta luego!!</description>

  <description>I don&apos;t really want to be here right now. I&apos;m overwhelmed and stressed and emotionally drained. I don&apos;t know how to solve these conflicts, I wish someone could just do it for me. blah&amp;nbsp;</description>

  <description>So this past week was crazy, I had three midterms and a paper all on Thursday and Friday. I ended up not dying and surprisingly I think I did well on the tests and the paper. I think that&apos;s the theme this semester - me being overwhelmed and crazily busy but I&apos;ve been making it through in the end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&apos;s still so much I have to do to get ready for going to Spain. It&apos;s weird how in about 2 1/2 months I&apos;ll be in Salamanca, I&apos;m super excited but also kinda nervous. Right now the visa process is killing me, there are all these forms and certificates I need that I don&apos;t know exactly where to get and my appointment is on the 23rd... Hopefully everything will get sorted out by then or else I&apos;m screwed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night was fun, I really love my friends here. It seems like I&apos;m always meeting new people too, which is fun. Although I may not fit the image of the typical PC student, there are so many other people who don&apos;t either and when we band together it&apos;s always fun times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fall weather has been nice and refreshing but I&apos;m realizing how drafty my house is. I&apos;m kinda glad that I&apos;ll be gone for the worst of the winter. I feel like going apple picking or running through some trails or something. This is another time that I feel the lack of a car. It just sux feeling kinda stranded at home. I know there&apos;s public transportation and I have my bike but those can only get you so far. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JRW is also coming up!! I&apos;m very excited :) I need to get a dress though. I really like this one, obviously I wouldn&apos;t look exactly like that cause I&apos;m not a Victoria&apos;s Secret model but what do you think?&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;jrw dress&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/prodlgvw/V258487.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/prodlgvw/V258488.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So ya, I just felt the urge to post, which is good cause I didn&apos;t for awhile. I like livejournal, both to read what&apos;s going on with my friends and to keep a record of what I&apos;m feeling and doing at the time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost forgot, The Smashing Pumpkins are coming this week!! I&apos;m so excited to see them but also&amp;nbsp; teensy bit sad that I&apos;m missing my Philosophy class, we&apos;re doing Kant and I like him, kinda pathetic I know. But Smashing Pumpkins win out. And don&apos;t worry steph, I will take lots of pictures and tell you all about it afterwards, it&apos;ll be like you were there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I&apos;m off to start Sense and Sensibility, I love being an English major :)</description>

  <description>So I havent posted in awhile. I keep meaning to but I feel like I would have to do a recap, hence scaring me from posting and there being more to recap. So forget aout a recap of my life. Right now I am rather busy with classes and activities and homework and everything. I didn&apos;t think there would be such a big difference from 4 to 5 classes but that&apos;s the only real difference between this year and lalst. Also, I&apos;m preparing for my semester abroad which is also time consuming and kinda stressful concerning the visa and such. But really, my classes are all really cool, even theology isn&apos;t that bad. I just love those moments in class or writing a paper when something just comes together and forms some new thought or it all makes sense. It makes me feel smart :) It makes me feel like being a scholar wouldn&apos;t be too bad of a life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of like beyond college, I&apos;ve been thinking about that a lot lately. My parents have been talking to me about law school which I always kinda brushed off but is now starting to make more sense. Not too sure about that though. It looks like I&apos;ll probably end up going to some sort of graduate school at least, it&apos; be cool to get my Ph. D. The only thing I can think of to get my Ph. D in though is something like Comparitive Literature and what does one do whith a Ph. D in comparitive lit except become a professor? Actually, that is something that I used to totally dismiss but now is starting to look different. I still hold to the belief that I would be a terrible high school teacher but college professors are a lot different. And it&apos;d be pretty sweet to have summers off. Who knows. It&apos;s kinda weird having to make the decision now as to what I want my career to be (though I guess I&apos;m behind the game cause most people decided when going into college).&amp;nbsp; I know that I&apos;m not stuck for life but what I decide now will definitely influence my course, especially if I go into some sort of specialized schooling. I don&apos;t know at all really, anyone have any ideas with what I should do with my life? I figure if worse comes to worse I&apos;ll pull a Thoreau and go live in the woods and live off a garden or something. That&apos;d be a pretty sweet life actually. i don&apos;t know, I guess I&apos;m just reluctant to decide my role in a society that I&apos;m not positive I want to be a huge part of. I just feel like everything&apos;s still up in the air for me now. I&apos;m waiting for something to happen to make me realize what I want out of life but what if that never happens? I shouldn&apos;t despair though, I&apos;ve still got time. I&apos;m pretty sure that I want to take a year off after graduation and go hike the AT then start whatever sort of life I&apos;ve decided on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enough about the future, I&apos;m excited right now to go home and see my family and John and Cookie. Jess is coming home with me which should be fun and we&apos;re gonna go check out the scroll that Jack Kerouac wrote &lt;i&gt;On the Road&lt;/i&gt; on in some museum in Lowell. Should also be a fun time. But I just realized how late it is so I should probably go sleep so I&apos;m not exhausted tomorrow though it always seems like I&apos;m sleepy during the day and then I wake up at&amp;nbsp; night and stay up too late and I guess that&apos;s what continues the cycle. If anyone wants to hang out this weekend gimme a call, I miss people.</description>

  <title>a reevaluation of friendships</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_nicoline_/11351.html</link>
  <description>so over the past few weeks I&apos;ve had to seriously reconsider who my friends are. I&apos;ve decided that two-faced people who really only exist to put others down are not people I want to have as friends. Also, people who can&apos;t even tell you if they&apos;re mad at you or frustrated or whatever, but just simply stop associating with you in a very obvious manner, that&apos;s not cool in my book. Basically all I really want is honesty. If there&apos;s a problem I would rather be told it straight out than not told at all or lied to. Because how is a friendship possible if the true character or thoughts of your friend are hidden? It&apos;s just simply not possible. So you know what, I know who my true friends are and I&apos;m really better off without those who hurt me.</description>

  <description>It&apos;s practically Easter and that makes me happy. I&apos;ll finally be able to eat chocolate again :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Springtime makes me excited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve just got to get through this 3-day week that consists of two exams and a paper before a nice mini vacation. I might be skiing Tuckerman&apos;s next Saturday, I&apos;m quite excited since I&apos;ve been wanting to do this for years now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish money didn&apos;t exist and everyone was able to obtain what they needed for free. Work would only be for enjoyment and intellectual and personal fulfillment.&amp;nbsp; Boo to being a broke college kid.</description>

  <description>So a brief update on my life:&lt;br /&gt;I had spring break this past week. The week before that was absolutely crazy. I hate midterms and finals, it&apos;s the only time when I feel like I have no time for anything but working and studying. It sucks.&lt;br /&gt;Spring break was very very welcome and it was nice to be home, I hadn&apos;t been there for a couple of months. I hung out at home for the first part and was rather productive, go me! Wednesday I ventures up to Vermont to visit Steph. We went skiing at Jay on Thursday - possibly the coldest day of the winter for me. So we froze but it was greaaat skiing. Tons of powder and skiing in the trees and moguls and stuff. Lots of fun. I stuck around until Friday afternoon so I could take Steph home with me. &lt;br /&gt;This weekend was full of me seeing all the kids who have spring break this week. I saw 300 and I&apos;m gonna say it - I wasn&apos;t crazy about it. I guess I like when movies are a little more subtle, not hammering home the same point the whole time. &lt;br /&gt;So now I&apos;m back at school. Glad to be back but not so glad to have classes tomorrow. Have lots of shit to do like sending out my resume for an internship for this summer. I also need to pick out my classes that I&apos;ll take when I study abroad and get them approved. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it&apos;s practically spring and that makes me very happy :)</description>

  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_nicoline_/9294.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;So it&apos;s weird thinking that 2006 has already ended. It feels like the older I get the quicker time goes by. And I don&apos;t really like that all the time. Instead of looking back to 2006, I want to look forward to all the stuff that&apos;s going to happen in 2007.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;-turning 20&lt;br /&gt;-year anniversary with John&lt;br /&gt;-skiing! with my new boots :)&lt;br /&gt;-going to Russia&lt;br /&gt;-getting my own apartment&lt;br /&gt;-hopefully getting a sweet internship in Providence&lt;br /&gt;-skiing Tuckerman&apos;s perhaps&lt;br /&gt;-cool classes this semester&lt;br /&gt;-my aunt and uncle&apos;s wedding&lt;br /&gt;-vacationing/hiking with my family&lt;br /&gt;-backpacking trips??&lt;br /&gt;-starting my junior year of college&lt;br /&gt;-preparing for study abroad in Spain&lt;br /&gt;-lots of rock climbing with my new shoes :)&lt;br /&gt;-nick and alex turn 18&lt;br /&gt;-having lots of fun in Pepperell and Providence and making tons of memories with all my friends&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I definitely feel like I&apos;ve got a good year ahead of me. I feel like I&apos;ve kind of turned the corner from being a teenager to being an adult and I like it :) I hope that everyone&apos;s year is fantastic as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>So classes ended yesterday for the fall semester and I could not be happier. I had some good classes this semester and some not so good ones. Plus my tuesday/thursday class schedule was a real pain, but I&apos;m not sure that my schedule for next semester will be much better. So far it looks like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday: 9:30-10:20 Dev of Western Civ&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  10:30-11:20 Arthurian Romance&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  1:30-2:20 Survey of Spanish Lit &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  2:30-3:45 Concert Chorale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday: 9:30-10:20 Dev of Western Civ&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  2:30-3:45 Introductory Sociology&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday: 9:30-10:20 Dev of Western Civ&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  10:30-11:20 Arthurian Romance&lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1:30-2:20 Survey of Spanish Lit &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday: 9:30-10:20 Dev of Western Civ&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  2:30-3:45 Concert Chorale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday: 9:30-10:20 Dev of Western Civ&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  10:30-11:20 Arthurian Romance&lt;br /&gt;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1:30-2:20 Survey of Spanish Lit &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2:30-3:45 Introductory Sociology&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to find a core that can replace the intro soc class cause I really dont want to be in class that late on fridays. I did it this semester but it was a ballet class, not a real class, so it wasn&apos;t that bad. Plus the big gap between classes on tuesdcays and thursdays is really pointless, you can&apos;t go do anything cause you still have a class later and I never seem to do any work in that period. We&apos;ll see if I can work out something better. &lt;br /&gt;Even though classes are over I still have a lot of work to do for finals. I only have two exams (Civ and English), for Hispanic Civ I have a presentation and a paper on Velazquez which I haven&apos;t started at all yet. For Conversational Spanish I have to submit a news journal of the news that I&apos;ve been supposed to watch three times a week since two weeks ago. Too bad I&apos;ve only watched Noticiero Telemundo twice this week... So ya, I&apos;m kinda screwed in that regard. &lt;br /&gt;My roommates and I had a christmas party last night that was simply fantastic. We had cookies and brownies and cake and cheese and crackers and this really yummy dip and pigs in a blanket and candy and other yummy stuff. We all got dressed up and it was so much fun :) But I forgot to take pictures and it&apos;s partly due to that party that I still haven&apos;t done anything productive today and it&apos;s 3:45. Oops. &lt;br /&gt;In other news I&apos;m definitely living off campus next year. But it&apos;s not as tragic as I originally thought. In fact, it will probably work out better because I hadn&apos;t found anyone to switch for me for when I go abroad to Spain so I would have had to pay for a whole year of housing on campus even though I would only be there for half of it. So three of my roommates and I signed a lease for a 3-bedroom apartment right near the school and I&apos;ll split a room with someone for first semester and then go off to Spain, yay! It&apos;s the cutest house ever. The landlady lives on the top floor and works at PC but she&apos;s super nice and is just renting out the bottom to cover her mortgage, she&apos;s not trying to make a profit. And she has a golden retriever that is sooo adorable. This is what the outside looks like, notice the porch with patio furniture, christmas decorations, stone wall and the cool windows in our dining room (yes that&apos;s right, I have a dining room).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;642&quot; height=&quot;483&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/7678Radcliffephoto-1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lease starts on May 25th so I&apos;m thinking I&apos;m gonna try to get an internship in Providence for the summer and live here instead of trying to find a place to live in Boston which was my original plan. So to anyone who ever finds themself in Providence and needs a place to crash - call me!!&lt;br /&gt;I should probably go think about doing work. I&apos;ll be home next friday for break and I want to see everyone as much as possible. Enjoy the Christmas season!!</description>

  <title>contemplations on life</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_nicoline_/8669.html</link>
  <description>Why am I always so resistant to the lifestyle that has been expected and practically destined for me? I think of what would really be making me happy and it&apos;s not what I&apos;m doing right now. I would like to be living in some little cabin in new hampshire or somewhere, spending my days hiking, reading, skiing or whatever I felt compelled to at that moment. Instead I&apos;m compiling a good amount of debt taking the many core courses I need to graduate, trying to figure out how many 300 and 400 level spanish classes I need for my major or how many english classess I have that are pre-1800. In many ways I love college but I&apos;m feeling that my whole life is already being planned out right now, with no time for the things I want to do. I went to college mostly because it was expected of me, by my parents and by society. I feel like I&apos;m suspending my life dreams for four year while I&apos;m stuck in the ghetto of Providence taking classes all day and getting drunk on the weekends. And then when I talk about what I want to do after college, because God help me I am not starting my career as soon as I graduate, my parents laugh and ask how I wil ever get the money to do these things. Which are valid concerns, maybe I&apos;m being a bit too idealistic thinking that I can do whatever I want to do without much difficulty. Perhaps the 20+ years they have on me has given them the experience to realize this but I can&apos;t help but think that I should try to follow through with my dreams for this life. And maybe we just have different ideas of what&apos;s important. My parents are a different type of people than I am, their goals have been to save money to start a family and while I appreciate their lifestyle, I couldn&apos;t help but cringe if my life followed the same pattern. I want to experience some sort of real freedom even if I eventually &quot;settle down&quot; and have kids of my own. Money isn&apos;t a goal of mine, it only helps me achieve my goals. Perhaps I am naive but I plan on finding that out the hard way. I know that I can&apos;t let myself back down from my dreams because I will never be satisfied with myself if I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what depresses me the most is wondering if I will have the courage to follow through.</description>

  <title>update on my extended absence</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_nicoline_/7838.html</link>
  <description>hmm so lots of stuff have happened since last I posted. I started my sophomore year at PC and moved into my awesome suite. I met my roommate Sarah who is a very nice and chill person. I started all my classes which include Development of Western Civ (only one more semester after this one!), Modern English Grammar, Advanced Conversation (spanish obviously), Hispanic Civ, Intermediate Ballet, and Concert Chorale. It&apos;s been busy with all the classes and I wouldnt be surprised if one tuesday or thursday I had a screaming spanish fit hahaha. So far the year has been going well and in many ways it&apos;s better than last year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My roommates and I decorated our suite for Halloween today. I love Halloween - being able to dress up as someone else for a night and just have fun. When you were younger it was an excuse to wander around the neighborhood and get free candy but now its just another excuse for a party. Personally I wish I could still go trick-or-treating but I think I would get killed if I tried to here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to Tool on Sep 29th with Ryan and it was possibly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I&apos;ve loved them for years and seeing them live was literally orgasmic. I could just feel the music flowing into me and then back outwards to connect with everyone else and just the whole world. Music is a healing experience. I;ve been thinking a lot about the effects of music on people and it astounds me that there are some people who have no appreciation for music. For me music can be the embodiment of emotion and it seems like to not have that would be like missing part of my soul. I guess that&apos;s why all my close relationships are with musical people, appreciating something that&apos;s so important to my life is almost necessary to understand me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my aunt and uncle got engaged this weekend. Yes that&apos;s right, my mom&apos;s sister and my dad&apos;s brother are getting married. Kinda strange for me but ehy make each other happy and that&apos;s all that&apos;s important I gues. It as also the anniversary of another aunt and uncle this weekend so I was thinking a lot about marriage and how I&apos;d love to have that someday. In some ways I feel like I already have that with John but I guess it&apos;s just the realization that I&apos;m just as girly as anyone out there (even though sometimes Ilike to think that I&apos;m not) and fantasize about my wedding and the dress and where I&apos;ll go for my honeymoon, all that sort of stuff. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided this past week that I&apos;m going to study in Salamanca, Spain for the spring semester of my junior year. I al really looking forward to that and I just know already that I&apos;ll love it. I can&apos;t wait to live in another country and be able to speak spanish all day. My ultimate plan would be to stay in Spain that summer as well and go hike along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela which is this pilgrimage trail that goes across northern Spain. I really can&apos;t wait :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past weekend I went home (thank you Columbus for discovering the new world and getting me a day off school) and it made me realize again how much more you appreciate small town life after living in a city. The smell of the air is so different and so refreshing. It was lovely to just be able to relax and not be constantly thinking about what I have for homework.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of homework I still have a lot of reading to do for civ tomorrow. It&apos;s &lt;i&gt;The Wealth of Nations&lt;/i&gt; and could actually be interesting if I hadn&apos;t been reading it all afternoon in an attempt to finish the assigned 140 pages for tomorrow. But now it&apos;s looking like I won&apos;t make it...probably wasn&apos;t a good time to update my journal for the first time in months. So now that I know I won&apos;t finish I think I&apos;ll just go to bed. Oh lovely lovely sleep :)</description>

  <description>So friday night (tomorrow), feel free to stop by my house at like 7 or 8. I have a pool and ping pong and a pool table and I&apos;ll probably get some yummy food on the way home from work. Bring movies or something cool. Ya that&apos;s basically it, if you&apos;re reading this then you&apos;re invited and so are your friends. It&apos;s just gonna be a chill time with the coolest kids from NM. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call me or stop by!!! Hopefully I&apos;ll see you tomorrow :)</description>

  <title>california part 2</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_nicoline_/7098.html</link>
  <description>So I have a new journal layout and it&apos;s really pretty so go look!!! :) The picture is actually from one of these. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the rest of my pictures from California. They&apos;re from my stay with my cousin Ben who lives in Lake Tahoe. He lives in this little A-frame cabin in the middle of the woods with his two dogs. It&apos;s the ideal location: minutes away from great skiing, lots of hiking and rock climbing, and near enough to the city of Tahoe so that you can take advantage of the shops, restaurants and theaters withought having to live in a tiny apartment. I never thought Id be able to live anywhere but New England but&amp;nbsp;I think Tahoe could be an option. All these pictures are&amp;nbsp;landscapes and do hardly any justice to the real view.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Read more...&quot;&gt;We hiked a waterfall that had an excellent view of Lake Tahoe and some of the little lakes that branch off from it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0282.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0283.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0284.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0285.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0286.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0287.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0288.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0289.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0291.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0292.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/5afc51cb.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/f94dce5c.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/ccb00812.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the waterfall we began our drive to Yosemite National Park. The road to Yosemite was blocked from snow so we camped nearby at an area nearby where Ben knew about some sulfur hot springs. They were so relaxing and so much fun! The following pictures are from that night,&amp;nbsp;from the parking lot of the springs and&amp;nbsp;where we camped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;600&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0297.jpg&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;524&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0298.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;483&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;644&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0299.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day we woke up and went skiing at Mammoth Mountain. It was ridiculous to go skiing in late May but it was still fantastic. There was plenty of snow although it was wet and sticky. Even getting used to all powder was different, but tons of fun. We went back to the hot springs that night and drove back to Tahoe, got some lovely dinner and went to sleep. We had to wake up super early the next morning to get to my flight in Oakland on time. I wish I had stayed in Tahoe longer but it was still a great time. I&apos;m thinking of maybe getting a season pass to Heavenly this winter and going out and staying with Ben for a week or two of winter break. We&apos;ll see. But I&apos;m definitely going back out there at some point in my life, hopefully sonner than later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;nothing excites me more than nature&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That quote was said on our drive to Yosemite,&amp;nbsp;we drove along&amp;nbsp;this little highway that wound&amp;nbsp;through the mountains. Every turn in the road was amazing and Ben and I hardly talked but admired the view and listened to some chill music :) It&apos;s cool to be with someone who has the same passion for the outdoors and fully appreciates their beauty. Aaaah California</description>

  <title>picture update on cali (part 1)</title>
  <link>http://users.livejournal.com/_nicoline_/6758.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So I&apos;ve been out of school for basically a month now. I&apos;ve been working a lot and seeing some kids. My cousin&apos;s graduation party was this weekend so I got to see her and catch up with katie and tiffany. The BFF needs to have a reunion this summer. We all need it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Also this past weekend was my grandparent&apos;s 50th anniversary party. It was then that I discovered there are peanut butter kisses. Did anyone know this? It made me very excited. My cousin Julia and I stole the kisses from all the tables and ate them all ouselves :D&amp;nbsp;  At least Julia&apos;s still a kid, I have&amp;nbsp; no excuse for being a candy fiend. I guess there&apos;s no hope for a diet succeeding this summer. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Seeing how I can&apos;t do diets I&apos;ve been running with past and present members of NMXC and it has been lovely. If any of you are reading this how about running to the rope swing tomorrow around 6?? If it thundering we should still meet up and play in the puddles :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So to get to the real point of this entry, in addition to working and attending grad parties this summer I traveled to California the first week I was out of school. The following is a picture summary of my trip, occasionally supplemented by explanations and stories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Enjoy!&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;475&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0229.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;475&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0231.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Waiting for the train/bus ride from hell to Santa Barbara. It was chilly. Mike snoozing with Liana&apos;s Little Mermaid blanket. How cute!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;A state building and the view fro the back seat. We drove around through hilly San Fran with a standard. Good job Liana!!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;The harbor and Alcatraz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;img width=&quot;475&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0245.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;475&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0246.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; Sea lions!! They were smelly and we heard a story about a lady who was on the Berkley docks and a sea lion attacked her because people weren&apos;t feeding him anywhere. This lady got a chunk of her leg ripped off and the sea lion tried to pull her into the water with him. You wouldn&apos;t think such lazy creatures could be so vicious. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; Lombard - the street with the most turns in the world I guess. Really pretty and expensive houses on it too.&amp;nbsp; And some more pretty houses :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;img width=&quot;475&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0260.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;407&quot; height=&quot;543&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0261.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The view of San Francisco from somewhere high up. I&apos;m forgetting the name of the place...&lt;br /&gt; You can see Lombard again on the right, it is quite winding. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;img width=&quot;475&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0265.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;475&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0267.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Cute kids!!!!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;475&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0273.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;475&quot; height=&quot;356&quot; border=&quot;2&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/blondieinma3/100_0279.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;The Golden Gate Bridge&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;So that concludes my visit with Liana. I&apos;ll finish up with my stay with my cousin in Lake Tahoe at a later date.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

  <description>So my freshman year of college is over. I haven&apos;t got all my grades back yet but I definitely didn&apos;t do as well as last semester. Oh well. It was an awesome time though and I&apos;m definitely looking forward to next year. But right now I&apos;m very excited about the summer. I&apos;m leaving for California today to visit Liana and Ben so I won&apos;t be around until next thursday. I&apos;m so excited!! :) I feel like with a trip like that to kick off the summer it couldn&apos;t possibly be anything less than awesome. Well have a nice week kids, I&apos;ll see you soon!!</description>

  <description>So I figured I&apos;d post my scedule for next fall since everybody else does and I am obviously a follower. I&apos;d also like to put it out in this format to see what it looks like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday&lt;br /&gt;9:30-10:20 Development of Western Civ 201&lt;br /&gt;1:30-2:20 Modern English Grammar&lt;br /&gt;2:30-3:45 Concert Chorale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday&lt;br /&gt;9:30-10:20 Development of Western Civ 201&lt;br /&gt;11:30-12:45 Conversational Spanish&lt;br /&gt;1:00-2:14 Hispanic Civilization&lt;br /&gt;2:30-3:45 Intermediate Ballet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday&lt;br /&gt;9:30-10:20 Development of Western Civ 201&lt;br /&gt;1:30-2:20 Modern English Grammar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday&lt;br /&gt;9:30-10:20 Development of Western Civ 201&lt;br /&gt;11:30-12:45 Conversational Spanish&lt;br /&gt;1:00-2:14 Hispanic Civilization&lt;br /&gt;2:30-3:45 Concert Chorale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday&lt;br /&gt;9:30-10:20 Development of Western Civ 201&lt;br /&gt;1:30-2:20 Modern English Grammar&lt;br /&gt;2:30-3:45 Intermediate Ballet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not registered for Ballet yet because I would be taking it for enrichment (aka FREE) so I have to wait until the fall and make sure the teacher wouldnt mind an extra person if the class is already full. I also have to wait until the fall to register for Chorus since we need to try out. I&apos;m hoping I make it into Concert Chorale because I&apos;m kinda sick of Women&apos;s Chorus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only have the rest of this week and then the next of classes, then a week of finals, then SUMMER!!! I&apos;m so excited :)</description>
