Oh yeah, so I figured out the Lenten resolution bit.  No sweets, no French fries is plenty harsh enough with dining hall food.

The semester is going quite well, and while I don't have potent philosophical musings or anything, I am rather pleased with myself.  I didn't take too many serious classes, so I got the chance to finally fill up on little ( Read more... )

Home for spring break, and trying once more to make posting a bit more common.  I'm finding this time that it helps not to wait to have something momentous to write ( Read more... )

Everyone has that type of person that seems all the same to them, I think.  For to not expose the types of people that I find flat and without variability from other people like them, let's just say that I have a type like that.  I don't have friends like that mainly because I find that type of person uninteresting.  My friends, by and large, are ( Read more... )

You know, I'd get one.  I honestly would - it looks cool, and I think the world is moving out of the era of having physical collections of things that could be digital (iPod for music, Apple TV for movies/shows, and now the Kindle).  And I read so fast that I have to take an entire backpack of books on vacation to not run out (more annoying than ( Read more... )

I checked out 19 books on the first day of the year, knowing I'd have a lot of reading time on the bus for the U-singers tour.  Today, two weeks later, I got my first overdue notice by email.  "That's odd", I thought...books are checked out for three weeks.  I log on to the library system to figure out what happened, and discover I can't even renew ( Read more... )

..in wake of my recent resolution to cut out in-browser games for the rest of the semester ( Read more... )

(Dammit, that'll teach me to write long things in a fickle browser window)
Let's see, we'll need section for Classes, Research, Choir, Drama, Jobs, Graduate School, Politics, hmm....Personal, and Miscellany.

Summary: Life is good, if extraordinarily busy.  I'm getting done everything I need to and looking forward to this paying off in the form of an ( Read more... )

So I don't do sitting still very well.  I'm either shifting position frequently, fiddling with something with my hands, or both.  Makes it difficult to look professional in presentations, but I find it intensely uncomfortable to sit still once I've been in the same position for more than about a minute.  This has two interesting effects ( Read more... )

Weee summer!

Ok, work has been going well, but was kinda a pain lately.  We've had FAA meetings all week, which means 8-5 meetings with no break for three days in a row, while air traffic controllers argue about exactly how they want the latest feature of the design to work.  Now don't get me wrong - it's a smart and forward-thinking choice to ( Read more... )

Yeah, I'm not giving up on this just yet.  I just wanted it to lie dormant for a few months so that all the adults I gave the link to will stop checking it. :P ( Read more... )
