so a lot of things have happened recently. most importantly i have moved out of my house. i'm now living in the avenues (first ave & H street) with my wonderful nicole. one of the best parts about the whole thing is having my own responsibilities. i love being in control of the environment i live in, and this change has made me more organized and ( Read more... )

well, school is here again which means my desire for laziness has been amplified and yet my ability to do so greatly decreased. it's hard to get up so early in the morning, but i'm sure i'll get used to it in another week or so. my classes look pretty fun ( Read more... )

well, my finals are all over with, i just have to grade the anatomy final and then i'm completely done. this semester was not my greatest academic performance, but i feel that i've learned a lot. i've decided that i'm going to double major in bioengineering and mathematics. i've been talking with my math professor and he's putting together an ( Read more... )

so the anticipation of grades is finally over, i did exactly as i expected, which isn't too bad. i took most of this week off, just because i needed a break before i go back to the old grindstone on monday. i'm really excited to go back, even though it's only been a couple of weeks. i'm a little worried for the upcoming year. the tuition rates rose ( Read more... )

school is going ok. i just get really stressed out about it sometimes, like i'll never ever be able to catch up with everything that's going on around me (school, work, and home). everything just goes so incredibly fast. my mother is having surgery this friday, and then she'll start chemotherapy soon after that. we (the kids & my father) are in the ( Read more... )
