Are you taking a vacation this summer (or this season)? Where are you headed and who's going with you?
So far I have two major trips planned:
- June 2nd, Chrissy and I are leaving Ithaca and driving to Naples, FL. There will be some hanging out with friends, some lounging around doing nothing, and Taylor's wedding festivities.
- June 12th, Chrissy, Adam, and I are taking a flight out of Miami and landing in Mexico City. We're going to be in D.F. the first and last two nights of our stay, I believe. The time in between will be spent wandering around central and southern Mexico. We'll probably spend some time in Acapulco, Vera Cruz, and Palenque, checking out the beach, museums, and archaeological sites (definitely Pacal's temple). We get back to Florida on June 21st and I fly back to Ithaca shortly thereafter.
That's all I have figured out so far. I'd like to get to Canada and visit NYC to see Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp reprise their roles in RENT on Broadway. There might also be a trip to West Fulton, NY to see my grandma Pru which would be lovely.
P.S. I made the President's List this semester. Two A-'s, one A, and an A+ (in Theory, whoa!). Hells yeah.
So, I've signed up for my last fall semester classes as an undergraduate:
MWF
10:20 - 11:10 GLY 171 Earth Science
11:30 - 12:20 SPA 305 Spanish Conversation and Composition12:40 - 1:30 HIS 201 The United States Since 1877
TR
11:05 - 12:55 Earth Science Lab (T only)
2:50 - 4:05 ANT 406 Contact and Culture Change
Independent Study
ANT 495 Anthropology Honors I Thesis
Brooks Museum Internship
That's 13 14 credits. Neat. It is going to be a lot of work, especially with applying to grad school. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep on top of everything (unlike I did this semester... Within the next week and a half I have to write 25 pages worth of anthropology papers that I haven't even checked out the books for, much less actually formulated a thesis or two--ugh).
I think I'm kind of digging this new Vox layout. The facebook one sucks, though.
My dearest sister bought me a chicken caesar pita from Chili's--it was delicious and I'll be content for a week. On our way to the recycling center I saw there was a new building going up (a big deal in Ithaca--it's not like Naples where there are things constantly being built). Guess what it is! A MOE'S!!!! Woohoo! I know I shouldn't be thrilled about another chain restaurant, but jeez oh man, I love Moe's (Tijuana Flats is definitely better but I takes what I can gets). I can't wait to eat a Triple Lindy. That will be a happy day.
What is your favorite greasy spoon?

In Naples the place to go is The Clock. It's open 24/7 and has delicious crinkle fries. I've had some good times there... and some not so good but the good ones far outweigh the bad.
In Ithaca there's a diner called Mano's. Well, half of the restaurant is Mano's and the other half is the Ichabod Lounge. I've never actually been to the Mano's side... but the Ichabod is cool. They've got a decent open face turkey sandwich (needs a lot of salt) and you can play Quick Draw.
And finally, the Community Restaurant on Main Street in Cortland. They've also got awesome crinkle fries and an open face turkey sandwich that doesn't need a ton of salt. Their hot chocolate is like an orgasm in a cup with real whipped cream.
