Woot! I'm online! And in Canada! Things are looking up.
There is sooooooo much to say. So much. But it's late. And I have a Latin test tomorrow. So it will all have to wait. But it will wait. Why? Because I figured out the complexities that are the Univ. of Toronto's wireless internet network. Take that public university, take that.

This is what I call technological irony ( Read more... )

Strange how the same principle in school and work applies: the last 15 minutes always are the longest. I swear to God, it's been 4:42 for the last hour and a half. Sooooo close. After two additional (and unforseen) days of work, I am ready to be back in my comfort zone of t-shirts, jeans, and flipflops. No office attire for me. I am also ready for ( Read more... )

Right. Office life...I never pictured it would be...well, exactly like Office Space. Business attire, irritable faxes and all. Run away!!!

Right, amidst the craziness of summer employment. Stupid temp jobs. The elusive "work for two weeks and get paid $13 an hour" has mysteriously vanished into the depths of Phoenix monsoons. Right. So instead I have been occupying my hours with an increasingly strange assortment of things. For example:

Right, so it's been awhile. No denying. When's that last entry? *scanning* May sometime? God, that feels like ages ago. And so much has happened.

But nonetheless, I feel that some ( Read more... )

All right, I have to take a break from memorizing Native American tribes. They just...won't go into my head anymore. I have confused Shoshone with Salish and Chumash with Choctaw one too many times to have any real interest in continuing to look at my study sheet. So I'm breaking in a variety of ways by:

Wow, last day of undergraduate classes. Anticlimactic? Exciting? A mixture of both. The last feeling of complete confidence in where I am going and what I am doing. No more undergraduate laziness for me. Both frightening and exciting at the same time. Strangely, the last day of class rather summed up my college career: some lecture, some tests, a ( Read more... )

I am highly amused by the results, if for no other reason that two Laura's got completely different answers. Ah well, this is always explained that we come from different regions. It's like the language. Different regions = different languages = different dictionary definitions.

I think my favorite quote from my meeting yesterday with my thesis advisor was the following:
"Well, I think the main problem is that the thesis reads like a 40 page paper."
But the thesis IS a 40 page paper. *whimper*
Man, if I could somehow make a 40 page discussion of a Welsh medieval ruler read like it was a 5 or 10 page paper, believe me I would ( Read more... )
