so i thought this was cool (being a nerd and all). The pilot of our flight sent me an email the other day:

This is the traffic picture when N3 arrived from CMH around 5:00 PM on July 21, 2008.

so went on my first business trip yesterday. We got to fly on the FAA's private jet from Reagan Airport, which looks just like the presidents plane with the words "United States of America" but in the form of a Citation Excel.

I used to think that by a certain age i wanted to have done certain things... I have come to find that my priorities arent what they used to be. I remember talking to Dan and agreeing that we wanted to be married and have kids by 25. Well Im 24 ( still cant see myself as 24) and im still figuring myself and my life out. I have realized that i dont ( Read more... )

So I am completely in the "i have no idea" zone. I am going to buy a laptop...but i dont know which.

Dan and I have been going everywhere. I had my meeting today with Dr. Shaw, the head of the Statistics department and it went great. He really encourages me to turn my paperwork in and ( Read more... )

im listening to coldplay's "the scientist" and i dont know why this song always gets to me, nobody said it was easy, oh its such a shame for us to part. maybe because this song somehow represents how i feel about my life alot of the times. I feel like im going back to the start. and i guess i wish my heart could speak louder but that's not me, why ( Read more... )
