Ice dancing is pretty and I know it takes a lot of skill, but it's not nearly as interesting or impressive as figure skating. You just can't beat jumping and spinning and throwing people in the air with synchronized dancing on ice ( Read more... )

I have spent the entire day working on a presentation for Wednesday and I'm still not finished. Why was I actually looking forward to taking classes again? I think I need my head examined. The only good thing is that once this presentation is over, the only other assisgnment I have for this class is a ten page paper due at the end of the ( Read more... )

I didn't leave Virginia all weekend, and I can't remember the last time this happened. I had a good time though, and I'm pretty happy right now. I got really drunk on Friday night, and I even successfully managed to take a shot of 151. I know that doesn't seem like much, but it matters to me. Then I spent the rest of the weekend writing a paper ( Read more... )

On Tuesday I have my first assignment of the semester due. It's a short paper (probably about 3-4 pages), and I don't anticipate having any problems with it, but for some reason, I just can't seem to start it. Part of it is laziness but it also just seems really strange to have to do this. I haven't had to turn in anything since May, and I'm ( Read more... )

As of today, I am contributing 8% of my paycheck to my 401k; damn I feel old. The best part is that in another six months or so, my work will start matching it. Okay, I'm going to stop talking about my retirement fund now ( Read more... )

Tonight was interesting, and I'm still wearing a Mickey Mouse bandaid.

That is all.

I had my first class tonight, and the professor said that we would get out early. Then she went ten minutes over. The worst part is that it was really unnecessary since she was just going over the syllabus, and I think that when she noticed time running out, she should have just stopped talking. But other than that, the class looks interesting ( Read more... )

I got my W2 from work today, and I realized for the first time that I'm going to have to do my own taxes this year. I've never done my taxes before, and I'm really not looking forward to this. The good news is that it should be fairly straightforward since I don't have investments or anything like that to deal with. Of course, I did have two ( Read more... )

Why the hell did I choose GW for grad school? You'd think I would have learned something in the past four years but here I am, still dealing with the same shit. I had to change my schedule yesterday because it turns out I need a prereq for a class that I don't want to take but that I need for my degree. So now I have to take two boring methods ( Read more... )

My sister is amazing. She called today to tell me that she is going to pick up my father's birthday presents and then before we hung up, she walked me through hooking up my vcr and new dvd player (and never once made fun of my technological ineptness, I might add). She also told me that my parents are going to Hawaii for two weeks in June for ( Read more... )
