All in all, life has been pretty good lately. Here's what's been going on for the last two weeks ( Read more... )

So, with my last exam of my undergrad being tomorrow, my situation isn't quite the same as the song, but still...it's been stuck in my head since I woke up.

I have just spent 2.5 hours tweaking my resume and my Summer Employment Program forms, and applying to 14 different government positions. My printer is getting a workout tonight. All this for minimum wage, after 4 years spent earning a degree. I also just realized I forgot to write down a few of the posting numbers and now have to backtrack to see ( Read more... )

Probably a good idea, since the student websites are closed from 12-6 in the morning, and the stress of waiting plus lack of sleep would probably have made for a very ( Read more... )

Gala was amazing. Huge props to everyone involved. Also, I sang all of Carmina Burana without using falsetto...go me! I can't think of a better way to have done my last concert with the Faculty.

If ever I needed another reason to not like Fox, this would be it. Apparently, this douchebag seems to have forgotten that we've been there as long as they have and have been overseeing more of their little brainchild than they have since they thought it would be a fantastic idea to go after Iraq's oil, I mean, WMDs. Also, I have only seen snippets ( Read more... )
