It ought to be a crime to get up this early. Usually Cytosis drives me to work, but he has a conference this week in Chicago and his flight time was 8:10am. Which meant that if I didn't want to walk 30-odd minutes in the heat on a no-sidewalk road, I had to get to campus with enough time to spare for him to make his flight ( Read more... )

Despite trepidations, I went to talk with my boss and lined up a job over the summer! It'll be after I get back from China, but I'll be starting on June 18th and working less than 40 hours a week until school begins again ( Read more... )

In the past two weeks, I made just over $87. I feel kind of poor. I mean, I spend $15 a week on food (lunches), so that means I basically have a net of less than 60 dollars for this paycheck ( Read more... )

Yes, that's right, my skin is peeling. It's because this past Sunday I was out in the sun a lot at Lake Crabtree doing some rowing with my family, and the Sunday before that was spent at Emerald Pointe. Waterparks are immensely fun, once you get over the fear of going down the really high rides, but they can also cause havoc to your skin. Every ( Read more... )

Currently, my friends are out having fun in an ice-skating rink and having a late-night dinner in a restaurant.

Currently, I am babysitting my little sister in my dorm room. She stayed with me the entire evening. Right now she is sleeping, splayed out all over my one-person bed. I am not looking forward to sharing my sleeping space.

I really don't ( Read more... )

I am on the path toward health!

*crosses fingers and tries in vain to find some real wood to knock - give me a break folks, I'm in a computer lab*

But it's true. My throat hurts a bit less than it did yesterday, and even if I still have a wracking cough, I feel better.

...All of which just gears me up towards the Path o' Doom. Can I have a busier ( Read more... )

Two exams today.

Done.

One exam yesterday.

Done.

To go: Two applications, one lab report, one pre-lab, and editing for work.

Friday. The end of the week, and god, I'm tired.

There is such a sense of relief knowing that there's nothing due tomorrow. That there's no classes to go to, no short papers to prepare for, no readings to memorize or anything like that. It's a lie, of course - I have work tomorrow that I have to get up early for; I have partnered presentation on ( Read more... )

Damn, I haven't posted here in a week! It's very unusual for me (I think; I like to think that I post fairly often) -- but I have a legitimate excuse! School, work, and Steve, who is very distracting.

To get into more detail: we had our Biography papers due last Thursday, which was a pain in the ass. Not about the writing - I actually think I did ( Read more... )

Went to work this morning - not quite as early as yesterday, and I had a lot less to do! Managed to end everything by 1:30pm, then worked on Chemistry Webassign. This chapter's more difficult for me to get than the last one...then again, I did like gases ( Read more... )
