Ugh I really underestimate how long things take in life. Patience is a virtue I do not have, at least at the moment.

One important lesson: I've learned to be very, very aggressive. People like aggression! Up to a certain point. But worry about that later.

I haven't posted in a long long while!  Most of this was due to the fact that I didn't have regular access to internet in Germany (no wifi at my apartment) or in my subsequent travels (to Munich, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris).  A lot has happened though ( Read more... )

Awesome news: I am going to be in Berlin for 4 weeks this summer ( Read more... )

Okay off of the bad news today comes good news.   I applied to these two classes offered in English through Humboldt University in Berlin this summer yesterday.  Today I got an email asking for a statement of purpose.  Today at 3am, after my nap, I wrote out a brief essay, and then around 10 minute later I got an acceptance letter.  I guess the ( Read more... )

My grade is going to be changed from a B- to an A.  Hilariously this will be the only A I've gotten in my undergraduate career (aside from joke classes that don't matter).  And I couldn't be more proud of that fact ( Read more... )

 It really annoys me but my parents are not confrontational people and thus I was not raised to be one either.  I mean, I don't really know how my parents act in their professional lives.  I know they do speak up if something is unfair at work or my father once worked for these incompetent assholes so he quit and started his own company.  But ( Read more... )

I have way too many goals in life, immediate or otherwise.  I feel very very stressed out right now with all these papers on  my plate, but I do have some things out of the way for now.

I have some goals and plans for the summer now which makes me happy.

Yesterday I went to a 4 hour long group interview for a teach English in Japan program.  I hadn't slept the night before so was feeling dead on the inside.  The presentation they gave was so excruciating, and we had to watch a video about their organization, listen to them explain in detail the history of the company in Japan, the health insurance ( Read more... )

Day 9 of Atkins:  I caved and a small bag of pita chips.  It says 28gs of carbs on the back which is 8g higher than the daily allowance but still too high.  After more than a week without sugar or carbs I've forgotten how it tastes like, but after I ate one pita chip I realized it tasted as it always tasted.  It's St. Patrick's Day.  I was ( Read more... )

Day 7 of Atkins:  I'm really happy that I was able to keep this up for a whole 7 days.  I don't think I did everything by the book.  For example only diet soda sweetened with Splenda was allowed, so that's only Pepsi One.  Some days I had diet soda sweetened with aspartame which apparently can slow the weight loss process.  Also some days I bought ( Read more... )
