Have various things to note, so bulleted list* away!

• Mom, Dad, Morgan, and I spent yesterday together in Louisville.  I put forth the idea earlier this week that we might do something like this, but Dad, understandably, did not want to spend four hours of his weekend on the road.  But then a meeting came up for him, a meeting which took place in ( Read more... )

My mom's younger brother Joe is about 15 years her junior.  Joe's first child Aidan was born when he was about 40.  He and his wife Tracy had their second son Liam a couple years ago.  And I gotta say, it's both really cool and kinda pretty weird to be 22 with two boy cousins, one 3-years-old and the other 15-months-old ( Read more... )

Awesome Things That Happened Today (Because I need an upbeat entry, and I am feeling considerably more upbeat today than I did earlier this week):

--Found out my co-worker likes / has liked anime, too, and is a big LotR fan.  Huzzah for kindred spirits!

--Had a nice walk with Dad and Padfoot (and Dad did not smoke a cigar this time as he did ( Read more... )

I am not worried about myself catching the swine flu, but today I realized that I may need to be very worried about Conner and the other WFC residents catching it, since their immune systems are so much more vulnerable than ours.

Done with class for the day.  Need to go buy water.  Am comfortable in library, though.  Hurm ( Read more... )

I am competent at life!  BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I just took my history midterm, and I am almost sure I made a passing grade--if not a pretty freakin' decent one.  It doesn't really, really matter how well I do on it since I'm only taking the class pass/fail, but still, it's nice to know that I could answer the questions and form some decent thoughts on ( Read more... )

So as soon as my clothes finish drying, I can go to Kroger to buy gas and then head back to Centre C.  I can't even fathom yet just how much crap I have to do.  What I can recall off the top of my head: read over 50 pages in Moby Dick, write up a lab report, do some prelab questions, work at the WC for three hours, meet up for dinner with Chris, ( Read more... )

 So the whole JET interview thing went down today, and first and foremost of all, I want to say a very heartfelt thank you so everyone who helped me prepare and deal with this huge step toward what I hope will be my life in the year(s) to come:

Thank you, Brittney and Anna, for your awesome guidance and style whilst shopping--I would have been lost ( Read more... )

 Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose some people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

 There's nothing better than going to visit Conner and finding him in a fantastic and ticklish mood.

And what's even better, it was my first time seeing him for 2009.

It feels to set a good tone for the year to come.  : )
