I was recently nominated for this award by YAHOO (so I had to create a profile online) and it would be really great for FAIR Fund if I won. As such, in order to win, I need as many people to vote for me as possible. I would really appreciate if everyone would go to http://bix.yahoo.com/ ( Read more... )

I've been doing some thinking about why I have such mixed emotions about grad school. Aside from the obvious that it is going to be a lot of work on top of working my normal job, I think it is that I really don't want to stay in the area much longer. However, with this decision I am trying to be logical. I need to work full-time when I am in ( Read more... )

Surprise, Sam is going to grad school! I just got acceptance letter in the mail. I have to say, although half of me is excited, half of me is really really scared. I will still be working full-time but will be going to grad school at night part-time. Some of you may know what I applied for but here it is...I will be getting my M.S. at George ( Read more... )

Last night I felt like I was in one of those terrible bad date, comedy movies. It was so stereotypically bad that it is actually funny. It began with him sitting down and watching the football game and then in between watching the game, he proceeds to whine about how he doesn't like his job and then is like "well, who actually does?" and then ( Read more... )

For the record, let me just say how much I hate the cold...It dropped below 70 for a day and I have already gotten sick...New plan: As soon as I get my masters degree, move where it doesn't snow. I am considering the following: Southern California, Arizona, Atlanta (for some reason, I actually really like the south), or Kenya...

Although this may not apply to most of you....I just wanted to send out a mass announcement b/c I am not exactly certain who this applies to. All of you are invited to FAIR Fund's major funding event of the year, Pearl of Purpose. It will be taking place at the DACOR Bacon on November 2...There is a young professionals discount so hit me up if ( Read more... )

I have decided come to the realization that I need to stop reminding myself everyday just how much I hate living in VA (not metro accessible and an hour commute to work that is right in the heart of the city) and that I should take down the count-down that I have created for when my year lease ends, July 10th to be exact. Instead, I have come up ( Read more... )

I've always wondered why girls feel the need to tear each other apart. I mean, guys do it to each other but not nearly to the extreme that girls do. It is something that has bothered me for awhile but one particular incident last night made me really think about this...I was at a bar last night with my gay boyfriend and the guy that I guess I am ( Read more... )

It is official, I really do hate living in Virginia. Its not so much Virginia as the fact that I have never felt this alone before. All of my closest friends are gone or have always lived far away, my ex boyfriend, who was my best friend, has informed me that it is too painful for him to be my friend or even communicate with me (since I pretty ( Read more... )

I have to make a MAJOR life decision in the next few months and I think I know what to do but I am not certain...I don't want to put it on livejournal but IM me because I really could use any insights.
