Outside today is surreal and gray and nightmarish, so I feel the need to post random stuff on livejournal ( Read more... )

So I finally told the parental units I'm not graduating yet. Said something about not being able to start grad school till the fall anyway and wanting to take geometry (ugh). They actually took it pretty well; just said I had to pay for it and am required to get a job next summer. Note to self: always break bad news to them when it's late and ( Read more... )

So I still haven't told my mother I'm not graduating this semester. I keep telling myself I'll do it, but I never actually get around to it. Argh. Plus I've got a truly frightening numerical analysis test tomorrow that's worth like 30% of my grade. It's open book so I know it's gonna be hard. At least I passed my advanced calc and applied ( Read more... )

Well, the 2nd master promissory note that I filled out online Monday in the hopes that my student loan would show up this week isn't registering on their computers. I've been advised to do it a third time. Hence, no food for another week. The results of this no-food diet thus far have been my gaining two pounds. And it snowed last night. Now I ( Read more... )

The one I filled out the master promissory note for a month ago? THE MASTER PROMISSORY NOTE THEY LOST A MONTH AGO?!?!?! Seriously. They lost it, then ( Read more... )

How does it feel to know that a significant portion of humanity would be ( Read more... )

So here I sit in the math lab once again. Wireless internet is a truly magnificent invention. Business is pretty slow; only four customers so far and two of them only had one question. An entire linguistics class came through here trying to find their classroom though. One entertaining event did occur that I simply couldn't resist promulgating ( Read more... )

Bored. Very very bored. You wouldn't think so, surrounded by all these shiny new math books, but still. Bored. I've even gotten sick of my mindless computer games, I'm that bored. It's all because I gave in and took that mid-afternoon nap. In theory the mid-afternoon nap is a wonderful and invigorating thing, but what really happens is that ( Read more... )

Note to self: Always doublecheck the schedule before getting up at 6:30 in the morning for your 3:15 final exam.

I'm going back to bed.

House of Wax. Do. Not. See. It. Trust me.
