| week 1i've been here for about a week. my house is pretty cool, i live with an 84 year old woman, her nurse, 4 other students and a woman from Japan. it is really relaxing and comfortable and we get 3 meals a day cooked. we went to visit the dump- huge with buzzards flying around and 2000 people working inside. i am so lucky that i feel i will never have to live in that kind of poverty.
we met with the mothers and they were really excited about talking to us about their ideas for the garden, etc.
so far i feel kind of dizzy with everything going on
the buses here are old suped up former american school buses..

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I haven't written in a year. Since then I have made lots of $ in my ponzi skeem selling virtual hide-a-beds to apartment dwellers. I have also completed 4 of 9 quarters of graduate school (who's counting?). During this extensive study of the pedestrian landscape I have developed elaborate ways to form sentences and plan-view trees. In the summer I floated through a cattle range in a sinking canoe and avoided drowning Spanish exchange students as an English teacher. Most recently I moved out of my little cottage. ( developers evicted me by doubling my rent) I read the book Confederacy of Dunces which I highly recommend. And slid down the icy streets of Seattle in my two wheel drive truck. I am now headed to the mountains of Guatemala to celebrate New Year's. I am going to be in Guatemala for winter quarter designing and building a part of a playground with a group from the UW. I began writing on here so I can keep people updated while I'm gone. stay tuned for future posts. p.s. this message only contains one lie. | | |
| back in the sadlefirst day of winter quarter.
my recent health problems: the doctor tested me for vitamin D and there was almost none in my system- where is the sun?
hot tub faniculitus- it is actually a disease with hot tub in the name- an infection all over my back- like tons of misquito bites
besides that montana was very snowy and beautiful and we stayed in a couple of cabins in the woods and cross country skied a lot.
i want to escape from cloudy weather and recreate a place as my own world, i could be your favorite girl....

sorry that last posting seemed depressing- I think I had been
watching too much Sex in the City and doing too much reading about the
Theories of Landscape Architecture. What can I say? If I was in a
punk band I would sing a song called Fuck Academia.
That sounds really angry but I mean it in more of a iconoclastic way as
opposed to an angry way. (okay maybe I am not convincing anyone)
I love Christmas!!!!
I cut a tree out behind my mom's property and we put it up at my mom's
house. I made pumpkin bars and stayed up late watching the movie
Junebug which I recommend.
I had a pretty blessed year with an awesome sponsor, friends from
around the world, an opportunity to get an education to eventually have
a creative and environmentally helpful career.  I wish everyone lots of peace and happiness over the holidays.

| sama what is my dream life? selling paintings in front of a Beyonce poster on the streets of Moscow?
working in the wheat field of Georgia? 
if all my fantasies are about being alone.... is it a wonder I am. I was a bit disturbed at our party at school when a boy said to me "there are no single girls in our class" I guess I don't count as a single girl and don't really want too. but it was somehow depressing to me- if my desires are contrary to eachother...  anyway I was drunk and realize now why I am not an alcoholic because drinking does not make me feel good it makes me feel paranoid and depressed. I am getting free wifi tonight-perhaps the snow has blown in some signal or the new townhomes down the street are sending it to me. I think my dream man is someone who wants to drive a tractor on the wheat field of georgia or buy a paintings from a crazy girl on the streets of Moscow.... | | |
