So I've made the switch to Live Journal from Blurty simply because everyone else I know has a LJ account! Swept with the tide of popular usage baby! Anyway, I figure I'll update the occasional rant or just useless info about my life from time to time. Cheers to that!

Wow. It's been an eternity since my last update ( Read more... )

First off, I hate the GRE. Moreover, I hate the ETS for making up the GRE, along with the SATs and other various lame standardized tests ( Read more... )

I feel these days like I am losing lots of battles. It doesn't make sense, because it is just the little things. Video games, basketball games, points of authority, etc, etc. I lose, but somehow I feel like I am winning the war. It won't be long before I am off to Europe, and in that time I know that so much will change. The things I do there and ( Read more... )

After my most challenging semester I've been resting a lot, mostly thinking as well. The thought occured to me that life is a series of "what-ifs." Each possibility has a contigency that splinters off into a million different directions. What if I had gone left instead of right? Stayed instead of gone? Backed off instead of moved forward?

My biggest concern was making sure the technology ran smoothly, and that all the presenters could show the visuals that they wanted to. For the most part, everything ran well. One ( Read more... )

Dear Lord. Lack of sleep can really screw up your nervous system. Even when I have been able to sleep I didnt sleep well. Woke up freaked out, blindly grasping for my clock. Time sort of slows down in that state, yet it moves quickly at the same time. Its like the brain is...slow....yes ( Read more... )

Well my 21st has come and gone. The last real milestone of youth is now behind me. Kinda a sobering experience, but then again, not really. Hehehe. Thanks to my family and friends for making my 21st one to remember. I have learned a lot in these 21 years, and there is so much left to do. As this chapter of my life closes the next begins. Hopefully ( Read more... )

Argh my paper. Its consumed my life. I can't even relax anymore and my 21st is coming up. Oh well, figures. At least I did my taxes already. But seriously- what is it about a paper anyway? I've spent weeks doing research, and now I'm in the up-chuck phase where I have to set the stage for my thesis. Why do I even need to set the stage? I should ( Read more... )
