| Life = AMAZING.
I can walk again (almost), more than half my finals are over, the
weather is beautiful, I won my election (I'm now the Vice President of
the Yale Political Union, something I'm actually pretty proud of
because I'm the first sophomore to hold that position in a long time),
and my friends (both KS and Yale) are wonderfully interesting, fun,
surprising, supportive, and just generally fantastic. And, on top
of that, summer starts in 9 days!
I feel like spinning in circles until I fall over. WHEEE!!!
Yes. Life is good. And I will see you all in ten days. Looking forward to it...
<3, April

| Riiight...so yeah, this xanga has mostly been abandoned. Sorry guys. It'll be back up this summer.
Oh yeah...and guess when my summer starts...MAY 6TH!! That's right. Eat it. 
jkjk. It'll be great to see everyone. Oh, and what's this
about CFLs in Chicago? Oh yes. It's going to be awesome.
I hope life is going well for everyone - my life is going wonderfully
(except I dislocated my knee and am on crutches but let's not talk
about that because everything else is going well). Happy
Passover/Easter!
Love, April
P.S. I recommend this website: passovergreeting.com to all my Jewish friends. Enjoy!

| Don't you it when life dumps a whole bunch of awful stuff on you at one time? That just happened to me. No me gusta. I think I failed all my finals, my dog died, and something else happened that I don't even want to talk about....my parents are making life miserable, too....bah!  I know I have no right to complain about anything, going to Yale and all, but this kind of sucks...
Well, on the bright side, I'm coming back to Kansas tonight. I will be there a week. So, hopefully, I'll be seeing y'all soon... | | |
| Hahaha, so yes, I am crazy. Yes, I am updating my xanga for the
first time in three months at 5:20 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Yes,
I am mostly sober. Yes, I am thoroughly enjoying (almost) every
minute of my life these days.
And...life is great! Well, for the most part. I just
finished one of my craziest weeks here yet. And, well, I'll get
the bad news out of the way first: I failed my first final
yesterday. It was awful. I don't mean I think I failed or I
feel like it went badly. No, I actually failed. I
calculated it, and the highest grade I can get is a 60%. I'm
praying for a curve, but really, it's not going to be any sort of
decent grade. And so, I get another B. I will probably get
three B's and one A this semester. Oh well. It was a
ridiculously hard test in a ridiculously hard class (for those of you
who've had to suffer through my rants on this topic, this is the
graduate course in anthropology that i ended up in by accident), so i
don't feel as bad as i could. and i did learn one lesson out of
it: not ony am i not in kansas anymore, but i'm not in high school
anymore. and i can no longer get away with never studying for
anything. this was a ridiculously hard test, but if i'd studied
like i should have, i could still have gotten, maybe not an A, but a
low B or a high C. ah well - i've learned, and now i'm moving on.
and, the great thing is that three of my four classes are now OVER,
except for one paper and one painful oral exam. however, i'm
almost free - it's so close i can feel it .
boys are so frustrating. especially b/c i have this tendency to
fall for my friends, and then i'm terrified of ruining the friendship
in order to date them. so much awkwardness ensues. ah well
- so the funny thing in my love life of late is that there is this room
of guys two floors above me, and i'm in there room (did i seriously
just do that? maybe i'm not as sober as i thought. let's
try this: their room) all the time because they're just awesome, and
three of the four guys i've liked here have come from that room,
including the one i like now. and i've been on dates with two of
them, and they share a room, and i like a third, and it's all just one
big awkward-fest...ah, it's funny though. i laugh at the whole
situation.
oh, another thing: we had our Christmas Dinner today, and omg it was
amazing. yale = hogwarts SO much, it's insane. this was
just like mr. potter's christmas feast - down to the ice
sculptures. i'm not even kidding.
it's snowing! yay!! there are going to be so many snowball
fights tomorrow. i can't wait. i think i'll go to sleep
just so i have energy for that.
humdeedum...how is debate going, y'all? and the rest of your
lives? i need an update. yes, i saw you two weeks ago, but
still.
Love, April

| Haha, yeah, so that entry wasn't actually supposed to be visible...good
to know y'all care, though. My life is great, in general, but
it's been a little shitty lately in some ways...blah. Long story,
boring story. Life goes on. Once I am actually able to
breathe, instead of working my ass off for midterms etc., I will post
an actual update. Until then, ttyl amigos...
