Oh, Places and Things.

I got my haircut last week, and I told my hairdresser about my trip to Japan coming up in March. Have I written about that here? I’m going to Japan in March to study Japanese approaches to mental health. I’ll be staying at a Zen Buddhist monastery in Kyoto. So, I told my hairdresser about [...]

Everything is Happening

Katherine — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:14:30 +0000

Winter quarter has begun and I have gone from being bored and anxious to being busy and anxious. And tired. And not as depressed. I have always lamented that sewing is hard for me. That I don’t enjoy it. And it occurred to me the other day that it might be due to the fact [...]

To Be of Use.

It’s not so much a post-Xmas dip as much as it’s my fourth week off, I’m bored out of my mind, and the stress of the New Year starting is more than I can handle, so I’m really struggling with anxiety and depression right now, and it’s not helped by my complete lack of funds, [...]

2012!

The next year is almost upon us on the West Coast, and I have to say, greeting it with a snoring dog and a man in his 50th year… well, it couldn’t be any better. I hope this next year is prosperous for all of my dearest, near and far, and that we are all [...]

Thanksgiving Roundup!

Tom and I had not planned to “do” Thanksgiving this year. That lasted until Tuesday of this week, when I felt compelled to buy a turkey and various other fixings for a real Thanksgiving Dinner. So, I spent most of the day on Thanksgiving doing what I do every year: making a metric tonne of [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Now where’d I put that turkey?

Kickin’ It.

Week four of school and I’m chuggin’ along. Haven’t done nearly a 1/4 of the reading, but I’m keeping up with the concepts really well. I think it’s my previous knowledge plus my ability to skim in an academic manner. And the amount of writing at this point is kind of… underwhelming? I’m used to [...]

High Highs and Dumb Lows.

Katherine — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 07:56:59 +0000

I broke my foot. But first… I had a great first weekend of school. Brilliant professors, no stupid classmates, and the workload totally seems manageable. I drove out to LA on Friday, crashed with my brother Nathan and my brother-from-another-mother Adam, drank too much Slum wine, woke up at an inhuman hour, and drove to [...]

Why Morning Happen Now?

Katherine — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 13:26:40 +0000

I went to bed early last night, 10 PM. I woke up at 4:45 AM and can’t get back to sleep, so I’m watching Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares. Yeesh. I forgot to write down this thing that happened at my orientation two weeks ago: It was the portion of the day where the internship coordinator [...]
