I’m awful, aren’t I? Really, I am. I would like to get back into the swing of things with tumblr, but I know I have to cover some portion of this New Zealand trip before I’ll feel good about resuming tumblr as normal. And there are so many pictures to sort through, it’s completely daunting.
Well. I’m at work. I have nothing to do. It’s time to get cracking.
I’M ALIVE!
Did you know that the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” has the perfect beat to follow when performing CPR? 103 beats per minute, google it!
Anyway, here I am, safely on my own continent & missing the country of the Kiwis dearly. After approximately 4 full days of air travel (much of that spent in the middle seat. in coach.), I am alive and well, if jet-lagged.
Pictures and regular tumbling are to follow! Let me just hibernate for a little bit longer…
Here, Tumblarity, since you dislike text so much, have a picture. And then go shut up and die. A little reading would probably do you good.
one other thing of note
What the bleep is tumblarity!? Is this the high school cafeteria all over again? David Karp have mercy.
Dearest tumblr
First of all, let’s get the most important item out of the way.
Damn, that feels good. Thank you, Obama, for treating Roy’s Boys so well.
Second of all, despite originally scoffing at this show and everything it stood for, I am now in-over-my-head obsessed with Greek. And although I know he’s not the one I should be swooning over, I’ve fallen in love with Evan Chambers.
Or Jake McDorman, I guess. Whatever. He’s Evan.
And…third of all, I’m leaving for the next month. If you remember that time I tried to surround myself in mystique and hint to a summer adventure, here it is.
I’m going to New Zealand! I’m going to New Zealand. It hasn’t sunk in yet. Probably due to the following factors being blocked by the process of selective memory:
- 18+ hrs on a plane
- 44 pounds maximum in 1 checked bag
- boots slightly less offensive than these (if only by the merit of their women’s design)
- no hair dryer
- no clothing dryer
- one towel
- 11 strangers
- a conservation project that will no doubt have my project leader limiting us to 5 minute showers
- southern hemisphere winter
- no cell phone
- no computer (?)
- my high maintenence status
Yes. Looking at that list, one might think this will culminate in disaster. But hey, I’m going to look on the bright side instead & say that remains to be seen. With “the right mindset” (traveler’s guide, pg 46), that last little bullet could be totally annihilited.
For my sanity, let’s hope so.
And yes, I did sign myself up for this. Six months ago. When “Oh, I’ll just go to New Zealand for five weeks” sounded like a romantic proposition.
I will be back June 18th, holding no freaky wilderness accidents occur. Enjoy the rest of May, tumblr, & don’t miss me too much.
P.S. Just so you know I’ve studied, that there, above, is a kiwi, and bob’s your uncle.
I’M ALIVE. Finals took a hit to my GPA & an even bigger one to my Tumblr, but here I am! Um. For the next three days….will explain more when I’m coherent. Have just awoken from a three-day non-stop sleepfest (as promised). It’s difficult to tumble when you’re stuck somewhere between comatose and conscious.
One more exam. Eight am. Currently two am. Two books to read. Five more sections of notes to read. Then, completing a shut-eye marathon in my bed. Possibly for three consecutive days. Am I making my point? Not sure. I’m not exactly coherent right now.
(via overflowing)
this is my favorite feeling in the world.
there's a reason we celebrate mother's day
- My mother (rereading a just-typed email): Oh no! I just deleted half of it. Shoot!
- Me: Hit 'undo.'
- My mother: Where's undo? How do I do that?
- Me: Right click, hit undo.
- My mother: It came back! Oh, you're a GENIUS!
- Moms make you feel smart.
