Shout Out to Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla, as pointed out to me just today by my best friend, Lisa, is the ulitmate genius, mad scientist. Kudos to you, Nikola.

Discussion on MLA Citation: Who hates this and who likes this? Of late, I can barely seem to resist putting a WORKS CITED at the end of ridiculous places - most notably, in emails to my brother-in-law, Robert. I think giving credit is fabulous, and the MLA way is just the classiest of all. Alternately, it could be the case that I just finished a three week class in which six research papers requiring MLA citation were due. It's possible. Maybe.

Because I've earned seven As in as many months at the humble Houston Community College, I've decided to treat myself this spring with a week in Boulder, CO. I'll let you know more as my plans develop. In other news, I went to the dentist yesterday, and had some work done. I'll say this for the UT Dental School - they sure are thorough. Geez, I'm not getting away with anything at that place.

Street fashion blog update: I've got my business cards, I've got my camera, I have the photo release forms ready to print... and I'm still at square one. This is because I'm a certified pansy. Please encourage me (read: ask me about it and irritate me until I get it started).

Very truly yours,
Sarah

Fall Vacation

It's still technically fall, right? I'd like to go on a vacation. Take me with you if you're going somewhere. Or else. I'll get the witch that lives in my apartment building to cast a spell on you (read: call the police while you're just hanging out playing pictionary by the pool).

Next semester, there are a few things I'd like to accomplish. First, I'd like to volunteer as an ESOL tutor, either with HCC or the Heights Library. Second, I'd like to organize an Esperanto Society ("club" sounds so trite) in my area. Third, I'd like to stop being co-dependent again. That's up to you to decide what that means, but I think I just want it to happen.

Lastly, I'd like to start a very casual, very not-intense street fashion blog for Houston. I'm going to get a camera for Xmas (don't tell Mommy & Santa I know!) and it just sounds like SO MUCH FUN. So we'll see. I have yet to decide whether I will use this blog or get another gmail to use for it. We'll see!

As for school, I have two words for you: YUCK, and KILL.

Very truly yours,
Sarah
