I'm alive.

LJ's interface has completely changed -- all this autosaving businesses and new LJ addresses, oy! -and this has to happen when I start to update sporadicallyAnyway, to recap what went on in the past - what, eleven months? Overall, life has been very uneventful. It's refreshing in a way, and I like it ( Read more... )

In response to Jacqueline's post (and countless others, most notably Jane, Sally, amongst others) - I'll say this bluntly:

I HATE THE IPOD.It's not anger or jealousy over the company, the player itself, the bundled music software - it's the design (from a technical standpoint) of the player that makes me angry. Don't get me wrong: Apple is a ( Read more... )

I knew comments would come back to haunt me ... so, have at it children ( Read more... )

The organic exam today was pretty tough. There were too many reactions (about 20) that we needed to know to finish all of the synthesis problems. At least I have the option of dropping the test ( Read more... )

One of my roommates is turning into an alcoholic as we speak. He's accomplished some amazing feats this past few weeks, but some background is needed ( Read more... )

Let's start from my previous post: life is now rather stress-free and sort of carefree, in a way. My teaching assignment ended over a month ago - so the 7:30 AM - 8:30 PM Tuesdays and Thursdays are gone! I also dropped Physics for those of you who didn't know already - the average for the first exam was a 35/100 (I made a 32/100, go figure) and was ( Read more... )

The thing I've regretted most about this semester is working two jobs at the same time with a fairly tough/lengthy courseload (15 credit hours). If I'm taking more than thirteen credits a semester, there's no way I'm going to commit myself to the workload related to teaching ... If I were taking only twelve credits, I wouldn't be bitching about ( Read more... )
