I'm trying to make it through the rest of the quarter and not get overwhelmed with what I need to do for the China trip. I don't think I'll make rent for the next couple of months, starting in July, but I'm hoping I can pull something off...somehow. It's been hard finding a job. I've been applying all over, internships, part time...anything, but ( Read more... )

I was talking with one of the siblings and I've pretty much decided that I need to be taking notes on the insanity while I'm in business school. Once school's over, I need to publish a "crap you'll have to put up with while in business school" book. Should be fun.

Forgot to mention the crazy lady who had a big Teddy bear strapped to her front. I chalked it up to this being Portland and her being crazy... Until the bear kicked its legs. Turns out they make cute baby carriers these days...

I have about 3 weeks left before I head up to Portland.  I am a bit frustrated at the high cost up front, but I suppose that is something I should have thought more about before.  I am excited though.  Overly so.  I find I am having trouble remembering a lot of what I need to do before I leave.  Or rather, I can't prioritize well enough and it ( Read more... )

One of the places at the festival was "Bolt People". I saw so many funny bolt figurines I thought I'd share. Besides a gynecologist (found in occupations or else health care), I thought some of the musicians and water ones were cool. The kayaker is too funny (at least the one that's shown on the ( Read more... )

My brother in law, my sister (they're a couple) and my brother are being laid off.  My brother is already on his severance time.  My sister may squeak thru and not be laid off depending on the stat budget, and my bro in law is most likely still laid off ( Read more... )

In the last month or so, a lot of the issues I'd been having on an ongoing basis got much much worse.  I had never dealt with that much blood before.  Well, not my own.  My gut felt like it was going to wring itself to death, and without even having sweets or overeating (yes I was careful with what I ate for the first time ever), I packed on quite ( Read more... )
