So, I was reading through a few of my old, old, old posts tonight, and it actually kind of made me laugh. I used to use LJ mostly to vent when I was frustrated with life, as my only journaling outlet. I know from reading other blogs that constant down-ness/complaining/angst tends to turn people off from reading blogs, because they don't like being ( Read more... )

This is not some random musings about Mr. Rogers and his magical neighborhood. It's just an absolutely lovely day outside. I think I heard the high is around 75 or 80 today... which means I put forth the effort and brought out the skirts. I'm actually quite pleased with today's outfit accomplishment. I look almost... professional. But not in the ( Read more... )

 My application for UWM is complete. They received all my transcripts!!!! Whee!!! Now I just have to wait for a decision.... (and work on my other applications. Ha. Oops.)

M. is out of town until tomorrow evening. It's nice to have a quiet room and the chance to concentrate and get stuff done, but I really miss her at the same time. It's weird being ( Read more... )

Well, it's finally happened. I've quit procrastinating on important things such as grad school ( Read more... )

 Oh. My. Goodness. This makes me so happy. shirt.woot.com/ makes an Ugly Sweater t-shirt every year for Christmas. Thankfully, I have never been a recipient of said US, but as a knitter, I can appreciate this.

On an even nerdier note, my dad shared www.theatlantic.com/doc/200305/ryback with me this morning. Having the privilege to work hands on with ( Read more... )

College is winding down. Of course, I know that it will start up full swing again next semester and I'll be busy and stressed and all those usual things... but it's the beginning of the end. This weekend marks my last Lessons and Carols. The (nearly) last time I will see some dear friends before graduation, because they'll be student teaching. More ( Read more... )

Somehow, it seems slightly odd to me that all the required history term/research papers at Concordia shall be no longer than 5-7 pages in length, and then require the senior thesis to be of "article length," read: 25 pages ( Read more... )

This Survey of Modern Europe class is going to be the death of me. And it's only a level 1000 class. Ridiculous. I don't know why I have such a hard time putting together European historical events in my head. I sit in class during lectures and know what's going on in America at the time... how frustrating. At least I'm semi-confident on my Darwin ( Read more... )

All of Saturday's plans were accomplished, not necessarily in that order. But worth it, still. Overall, a very enjoyable day.
I wish the same could be said of this week. So far it has been filled with way more stress than it's worth, most of which revolves around work. I don't feel like getting into it now, since there are many issues that are not ( Read more... )
