It seems as if the older I get, the faster time goes by. I can remember thinking the summer would last forever, that ages had passed since I last saw my school chums. The only holdover from the relative passage of time is the way we all feel when life doesn't seem to go our way. In those moments I try to remind myself of what is good in my life ( Read more... )

I'm headed home as soon as I get the papers granting access to the outside world from one of the White Coats. I'm more than stable enough to leave, even if I'm not 100%. I'm more than happy to take those odds, so I can get the hell out of here ( Read more... )

So far, here is my food ( Read more... )

I'm still riding high on the Chinese history class dealie. Tomorrow, reality hits, as I'll have two weeks before I next meet with the chair again. I need to how the information would be presented. I also need to firmly establish where I would really start to present the meatiest part of the course. We're talking about 3,500 years worth of ( Read more... )

The main thing I dislike about winter is the lack of sunlight. Not that fake light that falls from the sky, sunlight so filtered by heavy layers of clouds that the sky and the ground appear to be the same color. It's at its worst when there's snow on the ground.
