Before everyone gets too excited! I’m going back to Gawker as a two-day-a-week contributor. I will be writing about subjects to be determined but my mandate is to do “original reporting,” which might mean that the story of the next Hipster Grifter actually gets written on Gawker in the first place!

Break
The only thing I need to do over break is apply to jobs for the summer…yet somehow, I find myself so overwhelmed by all the free time i now have (and money i don’t) that i just end up sitting on my couch watching hulu and making business cards for fake businesses.
I know it’s only Monday, but I hope that this trend comes to an end soon. I really need to get a job.

My bestie, who I’ve missed soooooo much, is returning to NYC for the first time since leaving for the lesser court late in the summer and I’m psyched.
In honor of her visit, which commences around 8 am tomorrow morning, I’m making baked french toast, but instead of milk, I’m using egg nog (oh, snapz!). I also bought a half-loaf of Pullman bread from Choice? as the base...

Instead of studying, I made a 1-layer chocolate cake with green tea cream cheese frosting. (I didn’t even have to go grocery shopping!)
I kind of fail at this whole “studying for finals” thing.
