I quit work today. Not for any seriously pressing issue like that I was being abused by my bosses or that my paychecks were becoming kindling to the department barbeque. No, the lab just can't keep me on the payroll since I'm not a student at MSU. It was very sad saying goodbye to all of the lovely people there. Knowing that Joe and James and Dr. ( Read more... )

Every time I come to Missouri I must admit that I have a grand ole time. This year was no exception, barring some bad news and scares spersed in between ( Read more... )

I'm taking a break from the mindless tedium of counting insects in the collection. As pretty as butterflies and moths are, looking at them for three hours straight and counting them with those little punch-tickers (like they have at games to keep track of how many people showed). Lord Almighty, my job is hellaz boring. But I can definitely ( Read more... )

As you may surmise from the subject of my entry today, I got a job. Full-time, no less. Which kinda sucks. But if you compare it to the fact that I am one of those pitiful, poor college kids you read about in the papers and see on the news, and I need the money ... My mother was, needless to say, rather excited. So am I. It beats the shit out of ( Read more... )

For some ungodly reason, it feels as if it has been months instead of weeks since I posted, but more importantly, since I left Hendrix ( Read more... )

This is going to be veryveryvery quick. My mother is about to meet me for lunch, meet my friends, and help me move out of my dorm room. And she's about five minutes outside of town ( Read more... )

In direct contrast to my last entry, which (if I do say so myself) was extremely emo, what I'm writing now won't be. Sleep was pretty much all that my body needed. That and a half-pint of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Mmmm. Mel and I stayed up kind of late last night (midnight-ish) talking and sharing feelings. All kindsa girly stuff. Back to my ( Read more... )

Today was kind of an off day for me. German was cool, Religion was cool, art was cool, Pilates kicked (read, toned) my ass but was cool ... and then tonight rolled around. Something happened whilst I was watching the second season of Venture Bros, which usually cures all ills for me ( Read more... )

Yeah. These last few weeks have been just about the most fun I've had in a good long time. Hell, I don't really know where to start with it ... The spring weather here at Hendrix is utterly fantabulous, my times hanging out with friends have been inexplicably wonderous ... I don't really remember a time when I was this happy for this long. Albiet, ( Read more... )

For those not familiar with the barbaric language that is German (that's for you, Claire), I will proceed to inform y'all about my Spring Break - which is what the title of my entry translates into, btw.

For a brief interlude, lemme tell you. I needed a Spring Break. Midterms about raped me. Correction, midterms did rape me, whilst I was sick with ( Read more... )
