So my razor choked up on me when I tried to shave before the interview with the Fund for Public Interest Research. I think I did pretty badly in that interview, but oh well, I tried. Mainly it was just a confusion over what exactly they did, but I think that was my fault given that it looks like it was explained pretty well on the information ( Read more... )

Currrently printing resumes. I just went over the website listing which companies will be there, six of them look like companies that I can imagine working for. Out of those, I'm probably qualifed for at least four, probably five ( Read more... )

At long last, I am finally getting my Ecuador pictures online. They're being uploaded as I'm typing this entry, last I checked, my album has 100 pictures in it, it'll have more than that by the time this entry is posted. I took a hell of a lot of pictures while I was there - it's a total of a bit over 800 pictures, I think closer to 900 really. ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been too long ( Read more... )

I had a ticket for an Amtrak bus leaving Chico at 11:30 AM today. I set my alarm for 8:30 AM, planning on leaving at 11 and figuring that two and a half hours ought to be plenty of time to get ready and pack ( Read more... )

Remember a while back when Rubert Murdoch bought out Dow Jones, the company that publishes The Wall Street ( Read more... )

I am, at long last, looking for a new computer. I was hoping I could squeeze enough life out of my current computer to last me through this semester and thus the end of my bachelor's degree, but alas, no such luck. My main reason for that was that I had hoped to get a Mac as my next computer, and as long as I'm in school, that just wouldn't be ( Read more... )

I just had this weird idea of becoming a college teacher someday. I'm rather liking this Social Psychology class I'm taking and I really do think I make a mistake in not switching to a Psych major when I changed majors two years ago. Still, I remember Elsa said that Grad schools don't really care what you majored in as an undergrad so it wouldn't ( Read more... )

A bit of a pain too, but it's a solution that's easier than the reformat I was worried I'd have to resort to. Apparently WebCT doesn't like Firefox anymore. It used to work okay last semester, but now every time I go there it crashes my browser and freezes the computer for several minutes. Fortunately, it works just fine in IE 7 so I'll just be ( Read more... )

Anyone have any ideas for speeding up an ancient computer short of reformatting? I bought a new hard drive last summer and another 512 megs of RAM and that helped for a while, but it's back to creeping really slowly. Conveniently, it bogs down the worst any time I need to use WebCT Vista, since that uses Java which is slow as hell ( Read more... )
