Hey again, all: it appears I was overoptimistic about my ability to write and focus under the influence of painkillers, so have an update now. x.x ( Read more... )

It's been a busy weekend, so this may get long, but we'll see.
( Moving out )

Who is terrible at updating in a consistent manner? Me. But hey, I'm updating now. With funny stories and whatever happens to cross my mind while I'm typing, because I'm learning that that's how I think. Also: transitions. You don't get any in this entry because they are overrated, so this is a bulleted list with bullets where I remember to insert ( Read more... )

The belt test itself was far and away less horrible than I remember my yellow belt test being. We did the usual opening with the written test, but Jason fiddled with the order to make forms and sparring happen earlier in the day than they usually do. That was helpful, but the unholy combination of normal martial arts Jeopardy with the traditional ( Read more... )

It has come to my attention that some people (hi, Mom!) are annoyed at me for not posting on LJ in the last...six months. Oops. So here's kind of sketch of how I'm doing, now that I'm getting enough sleep.

Yes, I'm bad at updating; no, you don't get a promise that I'll update more because every time I do that I completely forget. :-P Anyway, this is the requested ranty post about my #*&^ public policy class with happy things put in to calm me down and remind me that really, it's just one class. Feel free to skip either section (or the post) as the ( Read more... )

The post title is taken from Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel and is in reference to Chapel Hill- the man was right, we have the best springtimes ever. It has been ridiculously pretty here, especially with all the Japanese weeping cherry trees and other blooming plants with names I don't know. Everyone's been laying around on the quad basking in ( Read more... )

Real update for once!

Firstly: yesterday I turned twenty. A few people have asked if it feels any different to not be a teenager anymore, and my response has been "it feels like I need to do assigned reading and take a nap, stop asking existential questions." Theoretically this will sink in at some point, but beyond my idle "I like being the largest ( Read more... )

So, I'm in that that bizarre state where I haven't had enough sleep but I'm really really super awake. Crashing later will stink, but for now I feel like I'm on speed. Thus, briefly updating LJ to avoid finishing some of my homework just yet. Meme swiped from sugared_redhead because it looks interesting. Real update this weekend when I've gotten a reasonable ( Read more... )

So, if my friendslist is any indication, it's about time for an obligatory Christmas post. I'll likely do exams and whatever else springs to mind later because when my entries get all epic I don't write them very often. (After writing: this is massively detailed partly for my own records. By all means skim or skip.)
