So this is what being laid off feels like. Interesting.

Good-bye to all. I may never see you again, with this whole graduate school thing ( Read more... )

My new social security card came today. Out with the old, in with the new. This part of life makes me sad...I like the old! Why should I be rid of it, when it was so good to me? I hate the passing of things, and I always will. That's why it took me two months to change my name...so hesitant, so hesitant. But it is done now, and I'm glad for that ( Read more... )

I'm finally going into the social security office tomorrow to change my name. I have no idea how long I'll have to wait in line, but I hope it's less than an hour. Damn, I hate lines.

He gets you to where you're going on time, always, and often early. When you enter the bus he says hello, and if you tell him the same in return, he asks how you are doing. And if you ( Read more... )

This semester is friggin' crazy. Definitely the busiest I've ever had. My constant state of being is exhausted. I don't know what I'm going to do when tests and papers and lab reports start rolling around. It's a 6:30AM-10:30PM struggle just to get all the essential school and personal care things done. Hmm...if I cut out showers and meals, that ( Read more... )
