you know, i never thought i'd enjoy coming back to school so much. Even though i'm taking a whole lotta hours and have like zero time to myself, it's great.

Happiness. I did some math and my research stuff comes out to $15.62 an hour! That is awesome. Not to mention, I'm getting experience too. And I found a place to stay...for $325 a month plus utilities, but that's not so bad. It's a house :) yay! So I shall be going up to Baton Rouge next week and once again be productive. I've been a lazy slob for ( Read more... )

it really gets me when i start thinking about all the people that I was at one point really close to who barely even talk to anymore. it really saddens me because there are sooo many of them. And it all feels like such a waste of both of our efforts and energy. To have gotten so close only to become practically strangers. And now that I think about ( Read more... )
