Alas, dear, faithful reader (I'm pretty sure I only have one) I have yielded to the siren song of xanga because I suspect that I might there find more than one dear, faithful reader. It has been lovely here at livejournal, and I shall doubtless return from time to time, but my allegiance as well as updates have been transferred to my xanga site, ( Read more... )

Alas, spring break is ending. Indeed, it has already ended, and I am now in the midst of what is simply a weekend, musing darkly on the homework that must be done before classes resume on Monday. My sole comfort is that I have really missed Wheaton and I will soon get to see all my friends there again ( Read more... )

I have become convinced that the bad effects I once attributed to sleeping are, in fact, a result of waking up. Sleeping, apart from waking up, has absolutely no bad effects. For example, people who are asleep are not grouchy. You can do essentially anything you want to someone who is asleep and they won't get mad unless you wake them up. While ( Read more... )

As painful as this revelation may be to some, I am not in love with Mr. Darcy of Pride and Prejudice. To many, this is a shocking admission. How could any female in her right mind not love Mr. Darcy? The answer is, quite simply, that there are so many better men to be in love with ( Read more... )

I love spring break. Lying around reading all day has been unutterably lovely. However, I desperately want to communicate with people from school. I have developed a compulsive habit of looking for electronic communication roughly once every two hours all day, often more frequently than that.

There are exceptions of course (Lizzie Bennet has one good sister; Fanny Price one good cousin), but overall the relatives in all those stories are ( Read more... )

This evening I attended the only University of Utah gymnastics meet I will make it to all season. This is rather tragic, but is simply one of the sad results of moving away from home. Unfortunately, they lost. Of course, they lost to #1 ranked Universitry of Georgia, and it was a close meet, but it's still really sad. Expecially because they ( Read more... )

Driving is a frightening thing. It is complicated, requires concentration on a multitude of things, and, if you screw up, is quite likely to cost you your life. I therefore do not particularly enjoy it, especially when I am as out of practice as I am right now ( Read more... )

There were no classes today, but I woke up early to go to the CS lab and program with some friends. Yes, it's true. I spent three hours this morning programming. This is even more astonishing when you consider that I'm actually not any good at programming. All I can really do is mathematical formulas. Mostly I just helped the guys figure out ( Read more... )

My article is due in four minutes and still needs to be about ahundred words longer. I guess I'm going to miss the deadline. Bother. I hate that ( Read more... )
