Well, another semester in the books. The longer I'm here, the more I wonder if it's all a waste. Honestly, I hate my subject, and I probably won't even use any of the things I've learned in classes here. Or at least, I pray that I won't have to. Got the results back from the FE today (the first engineers exam for professional certification; most ( Read more... )

" It's no good. When someone leaves you, apart from missing them, apart from the fact that the whole little world you've created together collapses, and that everything you do or see reminds you of them, the worst is the thought that they tried you out and, in the end, the whole sum of parts adds up to you got stamped REJECT by the one you love.

I reopened a box today. There's a snowflake around my neck. It's only been a year. Oh lord.
I need to breathe.
21 days and i'm back. You better be ready.

Paul Revere's Ride

Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

He said to his friend, "If the British march
