Short remarks as the semester begins

By Justin | January 22, 2008

It’s 10 o’clock the night before classes begin; I’m feeling pretty good. Tomorrow I have Order and Planning in the History of Economic Thought, as well as Politics and Piety in Early Christianities. Tommy pointed out that the Christianities class is a discussion-based course with only twenty students. ::Gulp:: I need to work on that [...]

Another disjointed entry with no main point

By Justin | January 14, 2008

Sometimes it’s best just to spill the contents of one’s mind, I think. And this post is an example of such spillage. I woke up to a beautiful snowstorm, the kind with the heavy, wet snow that sticks to everything and makes all the tree branches sag until they touch the ground. The flakes were [...]

Another fairly low-key weekend, recapped

By Justin | December 3, 2007

As all good weekends do, this one began on Thursday night. But, unfortunately, Thursday night was not a fun night. I pulled an (almost, but not really) all-nighter to finish my History paper. I completed it at around 5:30, slept for 4.5 hours, and then woke up for… Friday! After Latin, I made some macaroni [...]

Thoughts on the Help Desk relocation

By Justin | October 29, 2007

After we were reproached today by our professor for not putting enough effort into Latin, I stopped by the new Help Desk, which is now in SCIE 116 instead of SCIE 143. It’s, uh, interesting. Brighter, devoid of any personality in the form of decorations on the walls and such. Definitely not as cozy; it’s [...]

A not-so-rigorous analysis of my schedule

By Justin | September 21, 2007

Things are generally pretty hectic, still. There is so much to do, and I continue to have such poor planning (will it ever change, probs not). Tonight is a perfect example. I know I have a Latin quiz in the morning, yet I left all the studying until one in the morning. Stupid, Justin! I [...]

Post-Dormstorm

By Justin | August 29, 2007

I worked from 8:00 AM until midnight. A solid sixteen hours. And now I’m wiped out. Though over the course of today, some really good things happened: I met Paul, my Apple Account Exec, and some new people in ITS. Which will come in handy. And Paul was really chill. So all is good on [...]

It’s a big house, but someone’s got to do it

By Justin | August 27, 2007

I got lots of stuff done today. Scheduled some house maintenance with Physical Plant, contacted our house daddy (I don’t know the official term for the University staff member who oversees the houses), worked a full day at Help Desk, had some genuine bonding time with fellow Help Deskers, and got my bike’s brakes repaired. [...]

I’m tired, so I’m going to make this quick

By Justin | August 8, 2007

ResLife cleared me to move in as early as August 21. Three more days of work; today was my last day working with David, and probably the last time I’ll see Andrew. I had positive interactions with my parents. It seems I talk more to them now that my brother is gone, and ironically, it [...]

Brief observations of recent days

By Justin | August 5, 2007

We have a TV at work mounted on the wall that’s supposed to be kept on CNN or something equivalent. But one of my coworkers, Henok, always puts it on the History Channel, or the Discovery Channel, or TBS. On Friday, he was on the phone and had the Discovery Channel on. Now, it’s Shark [...]

Traffic, but not much else

By Justin | August 1, 2007

Today was the usual summer day: wake up at 11, shower, work, come home. Stay awake doing odds and ends until 4 o’clock, then sleep. The only highlights of today were the giant orange moon on the horizon as I was driving home, and my racing with a Peapod delivery truck, that nearly sent me [...]
