it's cold and rainy, out here in the desert
I'm so close to the end of the semester and the end of work.
Feeling not a little cracked out; was up doing work on speed all night, then at my journalism class gala awards breakfast, my professor brought us oj and champagne so we all had mimosas for a morning pick-me-up.
All thats left is... put together two portfolios, write one cover letter, fill out three self evaluations (which can be done at home).
looking forward to visiting my old campus, even though last night was hit with a phone call filled with all the drama that pushed me to leave the school...
anyway, break... yeah... rest... mmmm....
i'm supposed to be doing work but all i want to do is watch Koyaanisqatsi on a big screen and zone out for an hour and a half.
i got my first real tattoo the other day. i've been thinking about this for a long time, and i found an artist, who is good, and who does it out of his house (so age doesn't matter). he also happens to be really well priced- this was only 60 bucks:

The dove and olive branch symbolizes peace- and, personally and politically, i try hard to be peaceful. my name, in hebrew, also means peacefulness, and at my babynaming ceremony and party, the dove and olive branch was the theme.
so basically, i'm incredibly stoked on this tattoo, it means a lot to me, and it didn't hurt nearly as bad as i thought it would.
