OK, so I actually wrote this post after the one I posted first, but I thought this one was more important, so I waited to put it up on top.  I was all set to just write the other one, but when I went to the update page, the few lines below came up as a saved post.  I wrote these over the summer when I was having some hard times and thinking a lot ( Read more... )

Well, damn.  Livejournal.  I've kept reading this off and on, but I see the last time I posted was when I was in Nanjing, China.  My life has moved on quite a bit since then.  Wow, now I'm a senior, and everything that goes along with it.  Since I've just gotten motivated and left 3 comments on other people's LJs, I think i'll tell you what's been ( Read more... )

Something in the next two hours will decide whether or not this trip to china is incredible, or simply interesting and slightly depressing.  Why is it that I always get along with and fall for the girls I have the least chance of having a real relationship with?

"Pudenda!" Look it up.  I found a reference to it in my hotel room.  Bet you can't guess where...

Hah! I love it.  I'm in the middle of a giant internet cafe in Xi'an right now.  There are probably about a hundred chinese people in here, 80% of them playing games.  China is a blast, if you can get over the fact that you can't say much to people.  Besides bargaining for really cheap stuff, I can ask people a few questions, but there's probably ( Read more... )

Well, things have been up, and things have been way down.  But I really don't feel like discussing that stuff right now.  In a few hours, I'm going to China, and i'll be glad to get out of this country for awhile.  Have a good month, everyone.

After blundering my way into this place.  After cursing whatever god would let me refuse to leave despite all the crap shoveled out on a daily basis.  Despite the fact that I'm not supposed to even have it yet...It's here!

I'm so exhausted. It'sa training event weekend. So we had the 7 mile midnight march last night. Woke up at 5 because I had to get my room ready for an inspection. So we had an inspection, then another 3-4 mile run, then a uniform inspection, then a parade. I've had to change uniforms 4 times today. Now, they tell us that we won't be able to ( Read more... )

I hate International Relations. The Class I mean. I mean, it's sort of along the lines of what I want to do with my life, but I mean, come on. All the class is theory based, so instead of getting into real problems and solutions, for this next test I have to be able to explain and differentiate realism, neorealism, neoliberalism, socialism ( ( Read more... )
