I didn't pass my PhD qaulifying exam.  I am angry and upset about this.  I may cry about it.  I'm a fucking baby when it comes to this sort of stuff, but I expected better from myself.  I should have been able to pass it hands down...but I didn't and now the easy shit REALLY upsets me.  On top of it all, I'm scared about my advisor a tiny bit that ( Read more... )

I had forgotten how much I love Stars!  Shame on me for neglecting their awesomeness!  I think it's the girl's voice that really does it for me...that and the complementary duet with the guy's voice.

My room has this nice light glow going on.

I think I type too fast for my computer to register sometimes.  Especially in gmail, so it might just be ( Read more... )

why is it that I feel most motivated around midnight?  I really need to work on my peak time of motivation schedule.

I will only have research next semester along with TA-ing.  For the first time since I was a toddler, I will have no actual course/course work.  It'll all be research.  I'm not sure I can or will be able to handle my excitement as the ( Read more... )

there seems to be a single fruit fly
he or she seems to know when to fly by me
it seems to be the most agile fly
the damn thing seems to know I want it dead

 So, apparently one of my suite mates from the AR 2006 REU, Jason Lee, poisoned himself with carbon monoxide a week or so ago.  It's really very weird that this happened because I always thought he had a brighter outlook on life than what this seems to signify.  Even his parents said he seemed normal when they visited last weekend.  It's just too ( Read more... )

one more final and I'm done with this university and town and state...then it's a matter of packing and one last night with some of the good friends I've made down here and getting and driving 14 feet of uhaul with a trailer hauling my car to stl...I still haven't decided if I'll leave Friday evening or Saturday morning...I'll let those that need ( Read more... )

a name change can nearly double a group on facebook in 24 hours...I rule with late night spelling and making corrections after four months.

Over and out of it for one more plane ride out
I'm not sure, and never was if this will all head south, or what
Wait here a month or two will pass, I'm sure I won't
Faith dear, enough to get you by until we're home

And I wish (I wish), I don't (I don't) wish I still smoked
And I wish (I wish), that I wrote (that I wrote) you one original note
