suite life

i finally got around to taking photos of my room! it's not fully decorated but i hope these still convey some of its understated charm...










left: my pink cushiony spot for doing those 12-2 am reading // right: my bed plus bday gift from lx and lj from march
oops bad pic. where i study/facebook/send those incredibly long emails...

left: tn, ax, st, and dv who collectively make the suite a warm fuzzy place to live in :). ax and st are unofficially my physics tutors now. seriously who needs professors or TAs when you have PLME suitemates (that means brown students who are already accepted into brown medical school). i was so grateful to them on tuesday night/wednesday morning for helping me get through those blasted questions.


oh and there's also Sir Duckly Ducklington of Duckshire the Third, Esquire in the photo. can you spot him?!


anyway crazy week finally over. :) it was good. i even enjoy working at the career development center cuz we get to meet so many amazing students. spent an hour today with a mature undergraduate student (she was forty...but looked 25, which was unbelievable!) critiquing her resume. it was just... well i guess i feel so humbled when i talk to these people and hear/read about their life experiences. she spent twenty years around the world, being self employed, and even did humanitarian work in Haiti in the 80s. it was silly trying to put all that on her resume (we didn't).
no piece of paper will ever be able to capture a person's true talents and courage.
i really like the word courage these days...

your room looks so comfy! and i like that pink cushiony spot! and your green quilt cover! :) and you have SO MANY books!! i need to get a bookshelf of some sort. my books are currently taking up almost half the space on my study table.

"Sir Duckly Ducklington of Duckshire the Third, Esquire"?? huh? (i think i see him though :))

Wow...it's a suite life, innit? Lol, that was lame, like those siriusly jokes. My roo has bare walls because the contract forbids bluetacking or any type of adhering thngs to the wall, but I have a smaller than last year bulletin board and stuff on the shelves which my dad bought (and assembled at home) at IKEA for me. I'll show you some photos via email sometime. I know have internet at home so looking forward to catching up on msn sometime. Have fun! Kate xxx
