Tonight I officially entered the twilight of my college career. All that stands between me and graduation is one exam and two papers. With the completion of my half-term course, my class load is down to 1 class a day for 90 minutes, 4 days a week. My one exam will not be until December, and neither will either of the papers I have due. All that is ( Read more... )

So this is what those devastating losses feel like. I forgot, it had been since like last December since I had one of those. I've been not really wanting to say anything about this whole "Michigan Football 8-0" thing. About the whole "BIGGEST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!" thing that's shaping up. Mostly because I don't really want to get my hopes ( Read more... )

It's been a little while since I've posted. I've got nothing better to do at the moment, so what the hell, here's an update ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Buck O'Neil passed away. It brings me great sadness to write those words. Mr. O'Neil was truly one of the greatest ambassadors the game of baseball has ever had. As the eloquent eulogy by ESPN tells, "He saw Babe Ruth hit home runs and Roger Clemens throw strikes. He talked hitting with Lou Gehrig and Ichiro Suzuki." That's incredible ( Read more... )

The anxiety I wrote about last night hasn't gone away. I'm just so frustrated and so bitter and so angry about the job hunting process as a whole. I guess maybe I don't really understand it. I know several people who've been called for interviews, while I've been called for none. Its not like the people who've been called have better grades than I ( Read more... )

So I'm sitting here at my computer at 2:05 am, more exhausted than I've been in a very long time and yet I can't sleep. I'm so aggravated that I can't stop my mind from racing or from tossing and turning in bed. What has me so worked up? The two most ominous words for an engineering student at U of M. Career Fair. Let me state unequivocally, the ( Read more... )

I think I've gotten off to an awful start to my final semester. I'm not going to bed until like 3 or 3:30, I'm not able to get up until like 11, and my eating patterns are all screwed up. I basically drive everywhere I go, I get no physical activity, I spend copious amounts of time sitting squarely on my ass, and I'm not eating right. The thing is ( Read more... )

Nearly 5 years ago to the minute, I showed up for 3rd period. After spending half an hour at lunch, my classmates and I returned to class confused to see a large cloud of dust on the TV. We all knew what happened, but what we didn't know was that the first tower had come crashing down. Nobody knew until Mr. Armstrong showed up and said words that I ( Read more... )
