My life has been moving too fast the past 2 months. I don't know where they went. Well, I do know. I developed a job I (sort of) hate and a girlfriend I love. I became a brother for the first time in my life. I had lots and lots of deep thoughts but none that I felt like sharing with such a diverse and contextless audience. Well, I had one, ( Read more... )

I saw Sunday in the Park with George in Daytona last night. It is a very strange yet vaguely uplifting play. The acting in the second act, or perhaps it was the writing, were just really dull. The female lead was a young muse in the first act, which she did well, and a dying grandmother in the second act, which she was awful and grating at. The ( Read more... )

I had a job interview on Wednesday, and I think it went well. I'm probably going to say no, however, because I met the owners and I don't see myself getting along with them or enjoying subcontracting all that much. I get along with my boss now, and I'm not going to trade more money and stability for good people. At least not yet ( Read more... )

On my resume, my GPA magically changed from a 3.1/cumulative to 3.5/last 27 credits. I feel dishonest, even though this is a factual GPA. Anyhow, let's see if I get job offers now..

So in Florida I'm still getting used to the how hard to press the brakes, how it handles in turns, where the buttons/levers are, etc. It's rough going. Then I ( Read more... )

Now I want to talk about the gathering I went to last night, Huckaba arranged for some Japanese exchange students to visit us while he cooked green curry. I cleaned in preparation for their arrival. Turns out that all of them were female, 20 or 21, and majoring in English back in Japan. To this point, though, they did not know much English. I ( Read more... )

This morning I went to the office to find no one in. This was of course disorienting. I unlocked the door and found no instructions. The last time I talked to Aram (the boss) my phone was *barely* getting a signal and that is probably to blame for the breakdown in communication. I thought I'd hang around downtown until the TicketMaster at the ( Read more... )

In a somewhat dubious triumph, I wrote a 3,300 word formal report in under 7 hours last night. This is a personal best. And they said college would be easier than IB.
