Alice’s adventures in wonderland. Shoutout to Olgs, Devs, Ili, Jo, and Roya for a wonderful potluck picnic (and Constance, who couldn’t come! 🙂 Also congrats to MV FBLA (Esther, Tammy, Neesha) for great performances at Nationals, as always. Today I went shopping with my mom. It was surprisingly a very enjoyable experience. I definitely need to either get contacts or to wear my glasses more regularly. This is the kind of thing one remembers! Extremely verbose I was. Still am. I also didn’t ...Mom: What a...

Alice’s adventures in wonderland. It may seem silly to you, or anyone else, but this is a picture I’ve had in my mind for the longest time. I’m not sure why. On the most superficial level, this quintessential scene involving businesswoman and city – it’s always held some sort of. To it I guess in the same way people are attracted to celebrities and paparazzi and movie premieres and the feel of all that – it’s been like that for me. Both of us giggled, because I mean, it. Squeaky swings and tall grass.

Alice’s adventures in wonderland. 8220;I’m happy,” Cal said. “I want to be with you.”. I picked up East of Eden. At its root, the book is about human nature and the winding path it follows between good and evil. Adam’s story, then, and even Aron’s just don’t grip you the same way as Cathy’s; they are less telling because they reveal very little in comparison to Cathy’s. To harm, isn’t it? But what still speaks to me is the message of the novel – Cal’s struggle – and that got me thinking. But you try and ...

Alice’s adventures in wonderland. I have pulled an all-nighter exactly two times in my entire life:. 1 Night before the journalism application was due in sophomore year. 2 Tonight, for no reason. Other than the fact that I want to go running when the sun rises and if I fall asleep now and wake up in an hour I will be extremely grouchy and not at all in the mood to run. I think this to myself a lot when I’m about to fall asleep:. What happens when and after we die? Laquo; Previous Post. The day via twitter.
