An increasingly attractive option

Wow. For once, the thought of joining the military after college is actually sounding plausible to me. Not as a soldier or anything; there’s a lot to do that doesn’t involve killing people—at least, not directly. And there’s a guaranteed career. And lots of possibilities for advancement. I wonder if it’s all those Army commercials [...]

Fall Break thus far: sleepy, stuffed

It’s now Monday morning of Fall Break: there’s just one day left! This break has been pretty uneventful so far, but therefore, also quite relaxing. On Friday night, since I got home after midnight, I basically just played some UT2K4 and went to sleep—and I slept for twelve hours, waking up at two o’clock on [...]

Back in the Bay State

After a mostly peaceful late-night drive home, I am now back in the Bay State. And it feels pretty good, albeit cold. We don’t have the heat on in the house yet since heating oil is still so expensive. It’s 42º outside, so it’s only 60º in my room. But I’m under a sheet, comforter, [...]

Update without a cause

I don’t have much to blog about. Well, I mean, I do; but I’m far too tired to do it. I just wanted to post something here so people knew I’m not dead, or something. … Actually, that’s a pretty stupid reason to post. You all know I’m not dead; there are other ways of [...]

Nipples!

It’s one o’clock ante meridiem (totes), and I have yet to start my Latin—lolz! So, instead, I present you with my nipples (ftw): Share this entry:

The results are in, friends

I used 48 sheets over three days; others used 101 sheets each in the same period. I used an average of 16 sheets per day; others used 34 sheets each per day. At this rate, a roll would last me 22 days. For others, a roll would last just 10 days. I used 14% of [...]

“We’d stay afloat and make the most of everything…”

Dropping AMST209 gave me such a morale boost today. For the first time all year, I biked to Foss on the way home from class, took my shirt off, and just lay on the hill in the fading beams of sunlight. I got in touch with some people from home, and felt good about that. [...]

On goals, focus, and personal improvement

When given a tangible goal, I work relentlessly to achieve it. Running a better time in cross country; pulling out all the stops to get hired by Apple. These are all things that result in an immediate, visible goal: winning the race, or getting the job. These are the easy goals to focus on—the ones [...]

My day, hastily assembled

Class, nap, shower, class, homework, visit to the dean, dinner, Help Desk, late-night procrastination. That was my day. I talked to Dean Brown and she was very supportive of me dropping the class. I will get the prof’s signature today. I am much relieved. This will eliminate one major source of stress and open up [...]
