If I can't be the best, I'd rather just stay in bed.

My summer research project has started working! Not 3 days before I have to leave Lexington. Impeccable timing. I'm so relieved, I can hardly express it. I really didn't want to have to look back on this as my third consecutive wasted summer ( Read more... )

I watched Oprah the other day. And now I want to exercise and start dieting. Because, by god, if Oprah can look good after 20 years of being a fat lady, it's got to be relatively easy for me. I've since signed up for a weight-training class and told myself I'd start using UK's gym once school starts ( Read more... )

I'm reading "Cradle to Cradle" and I'm becoming very excited about changing the way we manufacture and build. I want to be a part of this! Trouble is, I seem to have picked the wrong major. Now I see why all those kids went into chemical engineering, and only 7 of us went into physics. Once again I feel trapped by the decisions I made 2 years ago. ( Read more... )

I read that the average human spends 60% of his time thinking about the future. This makes me feel good. I was afraid it was just me and the Pre-Meds. For all the advice to "live in the moment," it's easy to think you're doing something wrong. But we're always planning. If I thought I was going to die tomorrow, I wouldn't go to work today.

Work has been enjoyable, though I often find myself struggling to get the computer to do what I want, and thus not really getting anything done. I've encountered my first users manual that already assumes familiarity with the product in question. How does anyone find this useful? Why is the manual in its, like, 10th edition ( Read more... )

I saw the Davinci Code on Friday. I can only hope that the book has a completely different premise, and thus avoided the fatally flawed logic of the movie. Otherwise, there is no excuse for it to have been a bestseller. I refuse to believe that the public is really THAT stupid. I also don't see why religious groups are making such a big deal of it ( Read more... )

Going to New York tomorrow. I just got tickets to Letterman. I'm excited.

I am in Maryland. And I told myself I would be reviewing C++...but it is the first week out of classes. I kept Dan up all night because I am a jealous bitch. I apparently don't want him to have female friends. Good thing he didn't think to point out that I only have guy friends. But I would say that people who aren't jealous bitches are people who ( Read more... )

I apparently know nothing about everything and I'm impressing no one. Seems like I need a new game plan.
