So, I haven't put too much up this summer.It's been a lot better tosay the least. I'm working for ATK Launch Systems and working on software applications for them. Can't say anything about the software itself, though. I can say, though, that I've been guaranteed a job offer if at all possible. My only complaint is the 1-hour commute to and from ( Read more... )

I've got to admit that I like it out here in Utah, and I like the opportunities that this summer is affording me. I'm working on interesting projects, I don't get *too* bored at work (I've only started on one of my projects and it's hard to focus on the same thing for eight hours a day!), and I've really taken some good steps in my personal life. I ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder who out there really listens, really cares. Sometimes I wonder if the words that I type upon this screen are read or if they just sit, waiting, longing for someone to look and care. Sometimes, I wonder who will read, who will care, or if my words simply are being put up to more or less make me feel better. Do I write just to ( Read more... )

First, I would like to wish every graduate the best of luck. You have proven that you have potential, and now it's time to prove that you have moore than that. That's all a degree is, isn't it? A document saying, "You have the potential to have a Career as a(n) Underwater Basket Weaver," or whatever else you may have spent your time learning about ( Read more... )

I found out that my great aunt is officially losing her battle with lung cancer. She has entered hospice treatment, which means that it's only a matter of time.

Some may say that it's a moot point. Others may say that I'm taking it too far. Still others may say that I'm justified in my reaction. To what? Someone stealing my food ( Read more... )

I've found yet another thing that can irritate me deep down. I know that I need to figure out where the line is drawn as far as whether it's good or not, but I still can't help but be upset about it right now. What is it? Not receiving credit when credit is due. I wrote an editorial on God and tragedies for our school paper (I wrote it Monday - my ( Read more... )

OK, so I thought of a quote the other day. I'm sure that someone else has thought of something similar before (if you know who then let me know, please!):

"God has, through power and belief in us, given us the power to either believe or not believe in God. But, by golly, God has made it damn hard to not believe."

So, I finally got a job for the summer. Good news - it's with a good company. Bad news - it's in Utah. I'm actually not too worried about that, but it is something that a lot of people have said to me in one form or another (I'll need to stock up on booze before I go, or so I've been told ( Read more... )

I've used this as a place to journal dreams before, and I hope that you who read this will perhaps comment and help me to figure these out ( Read more... )
