I just registered for classes! I can't believe it! I'm going to grad school! This fall I'm taking Ecology of Managed ecosystems, Earth System Science, Business and the Environment, and Intro to Environmental Policy. I've moved into my apartment in Santa Barbara, or, more accurately, Goleta. It's very nice, and damn it, for $760 a month, it had ( Read more... )

This post is one of those things I never thought I'd do. I am about to beg ask you to watch "Chuck" tomorrow night at 8:00/7:00central on NBC. You don't even have to watch it, just turn on your TV to NBC at 8:00 and leave the room if you have to. This has become my favorite show this year. Yes, this is the show that knocked The Office off its ( Read more... )

My body is shot. I started half marathon training on Monday. The thing is, I planted bulbs right before I had to go run.  All of that kneeling and pulling up weeds works a bunch of muscles that haven't gotten exercise since last summer. The gardening made for a rough three mile run. I've been running before I started training, but I was really bad ( Read more... )

Since I got back up here in January I've been looking for a new job and applying to graduate school. My best shot at a job was with the food co-op, which was opening a new store, so they were hiring tons of people. I applied for a job as a baker or as a baker's assistant. Today I went down to the food co-op to get my favorite bread, and I asked ( Read more... )

I just finished my second practice math section for the GRE. It's very frustrating because I'm trying to get to the point where I can answer all of the questions within the time limit. I did way better this time than I did the last time I did a practice section, but I still didn't answer four of the questions. And I was rushing so much on the last ( Read more... )

This is going to have to be fast,  I found a job and my first day is tomorrow. I can't remember if I posted about this yet or not. I'm going to be an office administrator for a specialized veterinary clinic. I have to wake up at 6:45 so I need to get ready for bed. I hope this goes well. The job description is intimidating. It's seven pages long ( Read more... )

So I've been somewhat antisocial lately, and I think the lack of talking to people has been messing with my head. I started talking to myself. And then I'd catch myself at it, which is pretty embarrassing. I feel better now though, because I talked to one of my roomies for a while last night and I spent this morning being social ( Read more... )

I'm out of town. I just arrived in Indy (as my cousin calls it), and it should be 88 degrees and humid today. I'm still adjusting to the time difference. I hope everyone had a good fourth!!!
