		<description><![CDATA[After 3 months of lazying around, doing absolutely nothing but eat food, sleep, and watch a shitload of TV all day, my life is about to get real hectic again. I&#8217;m trying to remember what it was like earlier this year, when I had a full 18-hour courseload, a part-time night job, and an internship, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been living now without hot water for over two weeks. It&#8217;s not as bad as it sounds, but damn now I know what a luxury hot shower-able water is. The heater broke a couple weeks ago while we were away for the weekend in Cincinnati, and I&#8217;ve been bathing myself in icy cold [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I haven&#8217;t necessarily been in the same reading frenzy as I used to be in the past (read: before college), ever since we returned from vacation in the Philippines I&#8217;ve been trying. I haven&#8217;t read much, but I&#8217;d like to comment about some of the titles I&#8217;ve recently read (except for titles I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New Year is a rather strange holiday for me. Although they signal the start of a new calendar year, for me it doesn&#8217;t really signal much else. My own personal New Year has always been around my birthday, mostly because in August my age changes and a new school year begins. But alas, 2010 is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love my parents. I really do. But sometimes&#8230;it&#8217;s hard. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s the immigrant thing or the complete technologically illiterate thing or the really-really-bad at money thing. A lot of people credit their upbringing and values and such to the hard work of their parents, but I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a moment last week that I believed would never happen to me in a million years. I glanced at myself in the mirror, in all my underwear glory, and thought to myself, &#8220;Oh god, I&#8217;m getting fat.&#8221; This is cause for concern. I have never had body weight issues (like that) in my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m learning that homesickness exists in various forms. It was a concept I never really understood until sophomore year of college, and even then I was only feeling homesick for Chicago area things, such as Jewel Osco and the ABC7 news. My family I missed on occasion, for sure, but I knew I would be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s rather surreal: I have been living in Costa Rica for 24 days now. That&#8217;s 3 weeks without a cell phone. And essentially TV, since the televisions in my host family&#8217;s house are located in rather inconvenient places for me (my parents&#8217; room and my brother&#8217;s &#8216;lair,&#8217; as I like to call it). On the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my youngest brother, Michael, was born back in 1997, everyone was convinced he looked exactly like me. Of course, being a bratty 7-year-old girl back then, I didn&#8217;t believe it. But the comments wouldn&#8217;t stop. Even strangers and new family acquaintances would marvel over the resemblance between us. As I got older, though, I [...]]]></description>

My dad wants me to try and and see if I can pay the electric bills online since apparently they&#8217;re way overdue and they&#8217;re scheduled to shut off the power on Monday. Yikes.
