So besides thesis, I really don't have a social life. On Halloween, I stayed in and researched. For Thanksgiving, I'll probably be spending it with my new best friend. It won't be until Christmas that I'll actually have some social contact...which will be interesting too, since I'll be spending it on a plane ( Read more... )

Rather than putting this in my thesis blog, (haha, shameless plug!) I decided to share it here ( Read more... )

I never thought it would come to this, but it did. I temporarily deactivated my facebook because of thesis. I'm slightly more productive, but without facebook, I don't have any way to post pictures! Which is a slight dilemma...Actually, I shouldn't be spending time posting or editing photos anyway, but I was taking a walk today and I just felt ( Read more... )

Ah shit. I just checked the weather report and for the first time since this summer I see a four as the first digit. Great. Next month, it's going to be a 2. I've forgotten what it's like to be a popsicle...

I just finished my work in the office, and as I was logging out of the computer, our janitor strolls in for his usual maintenance round. Despite being a janitor, he's always a jolly, charismatic fellow. He asked me how I'm doing, and I ask him how he's doing. He cracks his usual jokes about us leaving early at 6pm to go home, and in response I give ( Read more... )

"We live in a world saturated with information. We have virtually unlimited amounts of data at our fingertips at all times, and we're well versed in the arguments about the dangers of not knowing enough and not doing our homework. But what I have sensed is an enormous frustration with the unexpected costs of knowing too much, of being inundated ( Read more... )

One thing I learned when I went back home this summer was that everyone has their own grace. I don't even think I'm using the word right. I'm not religious and I looked it up in the dictionary; the definition isn't a true fit to what I'm trying to express, but somehow the word, "grace," works in my head; so thus, everyone has their own grace ( Read more... )

With no particular reason I was looking at my LJ user profile and I realized that this will be my 1,000th entry. Not that it's really significant, but it's still cool that there's another digit added to the count. It's like turning 10. It's really not that big of a deal when you're ten; you're still in elementary school, still need to be babysat, ( Read more... )

I've started a minor goal for the year. (Technically, it's not New Years yet, so it's not a New Year's resolution, but I guess you can call it a birthday resolution? Whatever.) I'm determined to train myself to use chopsticks the "correct" way. The thought came out of the blue one day as I was making lunch for myself, and I thought 'Wow, I'm ( Read more... )
