Well let's see - I'm almost done with a rough draft of my thesis, preparing to defend it come December 4th or 5th. Presenting it will be the difficult part to say the least ( Read more... )

So I've got a couple of weeks left until my thesis is due and I have to give a presentation on it in front of people. I'm nervous about it but I have faith that I'll be able to get through it by the end of next week. I am looking forward to graduating and just looking for a real job as a result even though the job market is tough. On the short term ( Read more... )

After 2.5 hours in the rain, I finally voted. Glad to do it but I am shivering now. Maybe that free Starbucks or Chickfila will make me happy. Also, I want the new Dell Inspiron Mini 9. I can get it for $579 and damn is it cute. Ugh, ugh, ugh. I'll save up and have that so I can use it whenever I want it. Totally worth saving for ( Read more... )

First and foremost, tomorrow I will be going to vote in the second election of my life. I am voting Obama but I encourage anyone and everyone eligible to vote to do so.

Teddy and I went to his friend, Kevin's wedding up in the mountains and it was a lovely affair. A nice ( Read more... )

• An Uno/bowling date night :)
• Eating at Millie's and Comfort at some point

I'll be heading home for the night to be by my mom's side when she goes in for her biopsy tomorrow morning. I'm trying to keep positive thoughts about it all but I hate to think that what my negative thoughts are saying will come true.

She'll have cancer.

It's hard to digest.

I need more days in bed, date nights, Battlestar Galactica, hot cups of cocoa, and hugs. Mmm, yes.

I think Steven Rinella is hot. Look him up on Google, he's definitely one to look at and gawk at what he eats ( Read more... )

I hate when I buy seedless grapes and they turn out to have seeds. Blech ( Read more... )
