Life updates
- I know what I'm doing next year. I'm going to be a chemE at Merck doing materials characterization work. I made the decision not under the best circumstances (seeing that grad school has a habit of being slow in life), but there is a definite bent there toward people going for PhDs and getting supported quite handsomely throughout it. The good: I'm ( Read more... )

Don't read if you don't want to hear me complain
I do believe admissions offices are some of the most disorganized places on Earth, or maybe they are just the most visible. I called a certain graduate admissions office today about my transcript. Why? The backstory: I sent all my application materials in the beginning of November, and they send me an email saying I'm missing my transcript, resume ( Read more... ) -
Merrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Clothing makers suck. Apparently, I have been assessed as a 8 in the ribcage and a 4 in the hips for the same dress, making it impossible to actually look reasonable in one. I didn't think I was that disproportionate; but likely, I'm probably not and they're just nuts. -

Since there is the Lego Bible, apparently, this also warrants the LOLcat translation of the Bible too. I am sure this is a sign of the approaching apocalypse.
Also, prostitution has been confirmed as the oldest trade. The Creationists would, of course, deny that this behavior is somehow genetic. -
(Untitled)
Lying in a sun-filled warm room in bed with sunglasses on and being plugged into an iPod would not be a bad thing were it not for those awful dilating eyedrops from the optometrist. Nothing annoys me more than not being able to see bright things and having blurry vision up close and far away at the same time. Luckily, they have worn off now ( Read more... ) -
Christmas!
Etsy is my friend! I will have a pretty leaf pendant courtesy of my parents to go with my Yule ball dress and a pretty ring.
Additionally, my sister is cunning. She actually did reconnaissance for her gift buying which resulting in me getting This is England, a movie that I've wanted to see for a while. There are multitudes of goodies, including ( Read more... ) -
¡End semester 7!
First semester of senior year is over...what the hell? But thankfully life is very good except for minor hassles. The summary of my life lately ( Read more... ) -
ODEs and PDEs
So all those prerequisites that I've taken in the past two years have finally come back. In fact, the one I took longest ago (Fall '04) is now the most important, differential equations. And the prof is breezing through it like it's nothing and we all remember how to do this stuff. Quite frankly, the only thing I remembered were the separable ones ( Read more... )
