I can live happily in a world without Dave Matthews.
I'm sure he's a very nice person, but much like my reaction to the Indigo Girls, I don't see the appeal. At all.

43: Welcome to Your Temporary Home
I've been in Pittsburgh for half a month now (aka two weeks) and it's had it's ups and downs. Ups being back in a city, and remembering how much I love tall buildings, but the downs would be this struggle I'm having in finding a job. It seems more and more likely I might have to return to Virgina sooner than I would like, unless within the next few days a miracle of sorts occurs.
It would hurt to give up on this class, to give up on the opportunity of living in this city, especially if I do return here for graduate school. I know that should I be making that decision, I would at least make more of an informed decision than I had in choosing undergraduate education.
Keep your fingers crossed for me. Send good vibes my way.
In return, I offer this website, which I have fallen in love with.

42: Beauty of a Beat
So it's me, the bartender and one customer at the bar. I'm on my laptop, he's on his phone, and she's doing crosswords. But we're all popping to my glam rock mix. I love music.

40: Summer Plans
Well.
I just got offered an internship with the Human Rights Watch.
Pros?
It's the mother fucking Human Rights Watch.
Hella exposure to the organization and chances for cross interning
Super easy job, with flexible hours.
The woman I'd be working for seems super nice and laid back.
Working in NYC
Close to home, friends and fam.
Cons?
Not paid.
Administrative work--> basically, I will be reunited with my old friend Razor's Edge, to the max. We're talking about pure address updates, and fulfilling merch request.
Means I can't learn Croatian, unless I look at paying for classes at one of those semi sketch looking institutes in NYC.
I'm assuming I won't be able to dye my hair pink and go crazy, like I was planning.
Sigh.

39: Autostop
I hitch-hiked to class today because the bus never came. All things considered, it went well- there happened to be another W/M student heading in the same direction who gave me a ride. I can't decide if this is a sign I should start hitching around the country

38: Mono
This mono has been interesting, to say the least. Today, I ate three full meals, which is notable since until yesterday I couldn't eat solid foods for the most part, or more than one meal a day. I guess I should have guessed then that there was something quite wrong, when I woke up on Monday and had a bowl of sherbet at 9 in the morning in a desperate plea to numb my throat. You see, initially this mono was diagnosed as strep and I was handed some Tylenol and some throat numbing nastiness and told it would be better soon. When two days later I was still vomiting and couldn't sleep from the pain of accidentally swallowing my own saliva, I went to a new doctor who quickly deduced I had mono. Say what you will about Student Health Services- they know their diseases that run rampant on college campuses.
The minute the doctor said it, I felt stupid for not coming to the same conclusion. I had three days of naps and being winded walking small distances, wasn't hungry, and just generally over it. I'm starting to come out of it now- I can stay awake for more than four hours even if I do feel completely drained in the process. My tonsils no longer feel like they're resting on my tongue. I don't taste the pus in the back of my throat (sexy. so very sexy). And I've cut down on the Vicotin I was prescribed for pain/sleeping.
And I've been eating. Real meals, with solid foods. Soup and sherbet are still a dominant force of my diet but look at my dinner! Pasta was vodka sauce, onions sauteed with sweet paprika, chickpeas, peas and corn, and sauteed apples and honey. A real meal. I'm impressed. I don't think I'll take food for granted for quite some time.
