This has definitely one of the most eventful two weeks since I've finished finals and been working here back home in Maine. Alright, so I managed to get mostly B+'s and A-'s, with a B and C mixed in as well- the C being in Mathematical Ideas, for which I admittedly put forward a farily minimal effort overall. Session GPA was 3.1, and overall GPA ( Read more... )

I managed to get through this week, which aside from finals week, will have been the most challenging week of the semester. Tuesday was the spanish presentation, wednesday was finishing an Anthro paper i did on Virgen de Guadalupe, thursday was finishing a community analysis on Buxton, and friday was a math test i actually did well on. [ :-) yay ( Read more... )

Gracias to all the vets that have fought for & protected our freedoms over the years, giving of life and limb, and even emotional/ psychological well-being. I have many family members that have been in the armed forces, and a few that still are, and I understand well how deeply affected they were from their experiences in war and the stress that ( Read more... )

Once I get the EU refund check reissued tomorrow, then madre said she'd get the $300 check given for me anonymously- likely from church back home- so that's definitely very cool, so i'll be able to :-/ continue my career as a student/ professional 'charity' recipient. Oh well, that's more a tiny poke @ myself, than any sort of self-deprecation ( Read more... )

It's been an interesting week for me, considering that I found a significant amt. of money in my laptop bag...why it was there & not in the bank is beyond me, but it def. came up @ the right time for sure. In other news, some a-hole thought it would be funny to steal my cowboy hat, which btw is a very dangerous thing to do. After a couple days of ( Read more... )

Yeah..so it turns out that I've outwitted myself again, by putting the infamous car door key in the coin pocket of my jeans. This I found out at about 12:30 last night, but oh well..@ least I can lock my car once again. Yarrrgh :-P On the thought of Yarrgh, I remember that I might want to get a pirate flag sometime in the future..no good reason I ( Read more... )

I managed to last this long without getting the head cold that's been going around everywhere here, and now since friday night I've had this loveliness in my head. Well I'm flying home for a couple-ish days on Fall Free Weekend- 2 more weekends, :-) which will be very nice, since I'll be able to visit w/the padres & hopefully some of my peoples ( Read more... )

Well I've somehow managed about a month without updating here, but I was glad to have finished a book I'm writing a paper on tomorrow- went to Valley Forge NHP and just parked my car on the mtn. there and read for about an hour and a half. Then I came back and had dinner- the grilled cheese bread was rather thick today, but good anyhow, and after ( Read more... )

I managed to Copy/Paste some new span style code so that my LJ entries are normal once again- well @ least for all of this year, beyond that doesn't matter to me. Well we've had the beds here in the room bunked for a week and a half by now, and it's a pretty good setup now- doesn't hurt being the closest to the door either. I've got the big 2-3 ( Read more... )

Howdy all, I realize that I haven't updated here for over a month, and for good reason. Partly because of being in Cabo San Lucas for 2 weeks after UDLA w/net access once then for 1/2 hour- didn't really miss it too much, especially once all my team peoples from church arrived. I won't put much on that here for now, perhaps toward the end of the ( Read more... )
