Tomorrow I embark on a two week trip to Portland.
I know that most avid bloggers would take this as an opportunity to blog about all the cool stuff they are seeing and doing.
But I am planning on using this trip as a way to disconnect from some technology, which means less computer time, not more.
So, Portland = Blog Hiatus.
I kind of need the hiatus anyways.
I've been feeling inspired lately, but not about blogging.
Probably because I am craving some privacy. There's nothing private about blogging, even for a humble blog like mine :P
So keep following, and in a couple of weeks, I'll be back!
And who knows, I might blog a tiny bit during my trip :)

Bring It On
As I sit here, procrastinating the large pile of impending finals work that lays before me, my mind wanders to all things post-finals. To summer, the magical time when we college students set aside required reading and writing to focus on that which moves us intellectually and emotionally. Or at least, that's what I do!
I always like to set goals of sorts for the summer, to safe-guard against becoming lethargic and lackadaisical. So here they are, writting in the two-dimensional cyber system, my projects for the summer.
1. Study for the GRE - Not thrilling, at all, but I am taking this exam in July, so I should at least attempt to prepare for it.
2. Knit a simple sweater.
3. Translate three Elliott Smith CD's into French - I figured out this is an excellent way to work on a language.
4. Learn by heart five songs on my violin.
5. Read 5 challenging books - the books are to be decided, I'll keep you updated.
So there you have it, summer projects to engage the intellect, the creative, the studious, the linguistic, and the musical.
What can I say, I'm a Renaissance woman.
Knit. Purl. Revolt.

Happy May Day!
May Day: A day to remember the anarchist Haymarket martyrs, and to continue the international fight for workers' rights.
This May Day I celebrated workers' solidarity at a local rally organized by Unidad Latina En Accion. The mission: fight for workers' and immigrants' rights.
Demands included:
Just and Humane Immigration Reform
Labor Rights for All Workers
Jobs For All Regardless of Race, Gender, or Religion
A Local ID Card for Anyone Who Wants One
So let May Day 2011 be remembered as the day that workers and immigrants stood together, as we are one in the same.
Also, in honor of May Day, I knitted a Happy May Day Headband!
