tonight was amazing. festivities started at 6 sharp, and many drinks were had. i am currently fucked up with bittersweet feelings. i WAS moved by obama's speech. yet, i can honestly say that i had a few moments where i wished that HILLARY had made that speech. a sunk cost. here's another sunk cost: the fact that i changed my registration to PA...

i guess la wasn't meant to be. after persistent phone calls and one last e-mail, i, for the second time in my life, got rejected from ucla. well i got waitlisted which is pretty much a 'soft rejection'. actually i feel that acceptances without funding are also like soft rejections. here is the final score card ( Read more... )

i'm having a brain fart as i read about corporate disclosures via the SEC and why agencies must be given deference when it comes to rulemaking procedures ::yawn:: i'm also supposed to write admissions essays analyzing an issue of national concern. i really wish i could just forward admissions my wordpress blog, but i have a feeling those people won ( Read more... )

whoa, lj- long time. i think i've had an lj for something like 8 years now. unlike xtina, i haven't kept the same name for 8 years. i've had to click "previous" on friends' posts about 10 times to get updated on some of the haps. i don't really have anything to say except that i have this recurring memory of the dutch old man that so kindly ' ( Read more... )

it's been forever lj. i figure apollo needs a fresh entry. today i met up w/ emily in downtown. how nice it was to see her. she basically filled me in on leiden gossip post-january. it's always a relief to know that your good friends overseas can still be good friends back in reality here in southern ca. her boyfriend is great too. speaking of how ( Read more... )

i'm really drunk right now. i cried at de koog all night because meghan started it and i don't know what i'll do w/ myself once she leaves tomorrow. i don't want to send her off, but it's the only way i'll get the most of my time w/ her. she used to be one window away from me at rijnfront, now she'll be 7 hrs away in ca. she's about to come over so ( Read more... )

the one time i have u.s. pride-anything we lose. i was even decked out in red for support. yes, it was the nazi ref's fault but we still shoulda scored on all those corner kick opportunities. the only solace from the game was seeing landon w/o his shirt on in the end. it was still fun getting up at 5:30am and going to the english pub. we had ( Read more... )

0:0 nederland y argentina but my Oranje-hotmenzzz did so well even though mark van bommel and arjen robben were on the bench because they already had yellow cards and win or loss nederland will still be going to round 2 anyway. i like argentina too but i gotta root for the one and only oranje. the game started at 21:00 so that means im at work so ( Read more... )

it's that time again (not finalZZ- fuck finalZZZZzzz) but for the magnificent world cup. it's not even about soccer really because i wouldn't really go to a soccer game in the states (except for galaxy games because i heart langdon donovan) but something about the world cup gets me all excited. i'm halting my studying to see of the games going ( Read more... )
