Its my birthday and I'll cry if I want to...
Here's a story that recently riled me up: Many Women at Elite Colleges Set Career Path to Motherhood
I can't say exactly why this bugs me so much...I think just hearing about so many women who are privileged to be receiving these amazing educations and then have no intention of doing anything for the world. I mean, I thought we were heading towards an era of great women leaders in politics, science, education, art, business etc. etc. I guess I just didn't realize that so many people have the single minded goal of being a housewife.
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATE! I wish I was 21 like you.
In other random news: I can't remember if I've shared this game with people before, but if I haven't, this is something everyone must see. It is Pac-Mondrian, oh yes. Two of my favorite things rolled up into one! In the game, you are pacman running around Broadway Boogie Woogie eating up the squares with jazz music playing in the background. Super fun time!

The Sadness of Eggos
So, I'm back at school and had my first day of classes today, which was good, but kind of scary. Everything is very confusing right now because I am having a small existential crisis that has to do with what my major is.
Anyhow, that is not the topic of my blog for today.
Today, I want to talk about the sadness of Eggo Waffles. Today, as I waited for my one soggy waffle to go through the toaster, hoping it would come out slightly burnt, but not too burnt, I began to miss my friend Cara. Cara--you are far far away now, and I am worried that they won't have Eggos in Scotland.

What, what!?! I've switched to Blogger.com!
Why did I do it? Well, I like blogger.com and it is run by Google, one of my favorite companies. Also, they archive the posts for you and let users post comments, something I was too lazy to do on my own.
Here is a story I've been following: In the aftermath of Katrina, Boston University anounced that they would let Loyola, Xavier, Dillard and Tulane students enroll as Emergency Visiting Students. Craig's List Boston has been swamped with students desparately looking for housing near BU. However, they recently anounced that they cannot accept any more displaced students. What I want to know is where will all of these students go, and will they have to pay? The only school that I know for sure that is offering free classes to displaced students, is Smith (where I go to school), but there is no housing included. And you can only attend if you live in western Mass. I wonder if anyone will come.
In slightly happier news, I've found these gourgeous handbags online. I met the artist at ArtBeat in Davis Square, and I thought I'd share her work on my blog. So pretty, yeah?
Anyhow, I should get back to packing for school now, I leave Wednesday! eek!
Oh wait, one more thing: my friend sent me this story about Singing Toilets in Switzerland, and I thought it would be a good thing to share.
