3 events, 3 nights, one sweater, and a bike ride later. At work. Work is clearly the theme of.. the last two years? Particularly this week. I am officially leaving this job for a preferred carpentry/landscape job on Vashon with two friends. However. This weekend an ex-prof, the one I worked for in Noho, offered me a full time, 3 year long research ( Read more... )

Holy Christ, graduate school is a pain in the crotch to apply to. I am juggling personal statements, recommendations, 3rd party advisors, GREs, transcripts, and writing papers. I haven't even thought about the application part of it. Lets hope the night before I'm not frantically printing out PDF file applications to send via overnight mail to ( Read more... )

What day is it? Where am I? I'm not sure what's happened in the last few days. I do know that in celebration of halloween, Tyrel, I, and two other friends took on the Streets of Seattle donning complete outfits of biking spandex. Michael and Ty wore one piece leotars with friction cutting nipple covers. Olivia and I wore typical biking shirts with ( Read more... )

The pressures of the work day ellicits strange behaviors from me. For lunch, I gurgled, slurped, gulped, and spittled, because I had to little time. Yesterday I destroyed my knee at the fax machine faxing 150 documents over the course of four hours (thats a little over 37 faxes per hour--pretty good). I couldn't walk for the rest of the day, and ( Read more... )

Okay. 3 things have happened since my last entry. They are... just kidding. There's been a bazillion things happening. Yet nothing I'm that excited to talk about. No that's not true...But I did just look at my last post in May and really liked it. I should stay up until 3am more often ( Read more... )

Three days left. It's 2:46 in the AM and my packing is near complete. I'm approaching that late hour where time fades into the dark. The day space defined by meals, appointments, and obligations is gone and I'm commander and chief of possibility. This non-existant space has cleared me of responsibility and obligation and I feel extremely lucid and ( Read more... )

Whats with the secret switchy password deal at the login now? It sure was exciting. I'm completely burnt out. My days went from part time work, bike rides every day to broken body and 9-9 shcedules. To conclude my last entry I FELL DOWN THE STAIRS yesterday. Yes, I did. laptop and 56 cognitive psych tests in my hand, still in my hand when I landed ( Read more... )

Today is a unique point in the LifeOfSophia because I am, more than I ever have been, riddled with abrasions, bruises, and injuries. Starting with the upper limbs. My left hand has a large chunk of skin missing, maybe 2/3rds of an inch by 1/2 an inch. I was putting together a trampoline when my skin got pinched and removed by two parts closing ( Read more... )

I feel like I entered a tornado a month ago, and I'm just now sticking my head out. Like a cartoon character does mid scuffle to scan surroundings. Not unpleasant, but busy and enervating. I've gotten sick twice. The best part is that everything I wanted to accomplish out here is happening, plus some. I'm participating in a study that will be ( Read more... )

I coudln't sleep last night. I tossed, turned, dialed phone numbers, checked email, and was even read too (over the phone). When I finally slept, day was next door. I arrived to work at 6am, feeling..more tired than sick, which is good because no sleep would be better than any level of sick. Work happened. Afterwards, my roomate and I took a couple ( Read more... )
