I have zero free time this semester. Dr. Greig is helping me beef up my paper from this summer so I have to add a duration model and learn a new software. And then there are all my classes. Lots of work. At least my job is a little better this semester. It's a lot more fun. Oh, and Grey's Anatomy was pretty damn awesome last night. That is all.--

It appears as if I have neglected this thing. Needless to say, my time in New York and Michigan was well spent and extremely rewarding. Brandon's coming in this coming weekend, which I'm super ecstatic about, and school is about to start again. I got switched around to Dr. Greig's 1040 class so I'll be working with him even more than I thought (I ( Read more... )

Now that my laptop is up and running again, I can finally update some of these things. I'm in New York right now about to finish my research paper and take a shower (my life is nothing but excitement!). I went to Niagra Falls over the weekend and let me tell ya, it was beautiful.

Which means that I am awesome and smart because I thought of a new concept to add to the preconditions for democratic consolidation. OR it could mean that I didn't control for something so blatantly obvious and my results are actually ( Read more... )

This may very well turn out to be an all-nighter tonight, folks. I've been up at the office for about 11 hours total today and don't see myself leaving anytime soon. My dataset is finally coming along with no help from Dr. Scott (except, of course, to confirm whether or not I was coding years correctly... and I had to ask him to do that all) so I'd ( Read more... )

The world is going to Hell in a handbasket. Way to go, Israel, Hezbollah and Kim Jong-il. I salute you all. Arg ( Read more... )

Do not compare my real life frustrations that will affect my career to a video game problem you had when you were 12. Yes Brandon, this is directed towards you.
