Monica's Journal: new year or something

So, 2003, huh? 2003 is the year i graduate. your very first day at bard, the alumni association gives you a shirt that says "Bard Alumni/ae" and then has the year four years from then. So each year, freshmen are wearing these shirts. So back in 1999, i got one of these shirts that says "Bard Alumni/ae 2003". and i still have it. todd's says 2005.

    i had a little party last night - we played that 20th anniversary Trivial Pursuit that everyone i know got for christmas this year. i really like it, because the questions are much easier. even though i've lost both times. but the party was small and cute. i wish todd would have been here, though. we had sparklers out on the porch. and i opened the champagne.
    so mom's sister, up in the mountains, when we went to visit there, they had just butchered a cow on their farm. and they had some extra liver left over. so they gave it to mom and she made pate out of it. liver pate. she decided to serve it at new years, without telling people it was liver. it tasted like cat food. there were all kinds of polite comments, like "i guess it's an acquired taste". it was great.

    i'm leaving for Cuba in three days. that's exciting. we were supposed to write a short pre-trip paper and submit it to the professor in charge before christmas. so i wrote mine and emailed it to him on like the 28th. then he sent an email out to everyone going on the trip on the 30th saying he'd only gotten 6 out of like 27 people. so that's cool that most of the people are later than me.

    i get so much spam, and i'm only allowed like five megs on the bard email server, so i'm scared my email is going to fill up while i'm in cuba and bounce some important emails. so you all can wait until the 19th or so to email me anything that matters.

    christmas was fun, except it kind of sucks that my parents live five hours away from each other now. dad described it as yo-yoing from house to house, but it's more like i'm on the road more than i'm at the houses. next year we need to plan better.

    but yeah, holidays.

no worries, loveliness.

[evil todd.]

i could totally log in and delete spam for you.

yeah, the paté left a lot to be desired, but that salsa/broccoli/cheese thingy your mom made was awesome.
