It's been over a year since I posted here, but after my complete frustration over the latest bit of politics I need space to vent. If you don't know already, I describe myself as a liberal, fairly feminist, Catholic, vegetarian, tree-hugging Democrat (among other things). I've chosen a career traditionally dominated by men and deal with the ( Read more... )

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

I think there's something seriously wrong with me. It absolutely infuriates me when I find out that my friends are friends with people I hate. It's not that I'm angry with my friends. I'm angry with those people who think they have a right to be friends with my friends, when they've been so friggin mean to me. Bastards.

I just had the most fabulous night that I've had in a really, really long time. For the first time all semester I got to go to SAI chapter and it was great seeing everyone. I don't like how everyone seems mega stressed and on edge, but maybe that'll fade a bit after fall break. I'll keep my fingers crossed! I hope everyone knows that they can ( Read more... )

Well, I finally figured out who it is that's getting married the same day I am: my fabulous SAI sister Vanessa! I don't know how I managed to be totally out of the loop on that one for so long, but at least now I know! Unfortunately, now I don't think many of my SAI sisters will make it to my wedding- especially since it's gonna be in SC, not in ( Read more... )

After watching football most of the morning, I've come to the conclusion that I'm almost too competitive, not that I really think there is such a thing. It's just that I love competing and I love a challenge. I'm not really a sore loser, it's just that I hate to lose, and people who are apathetic about virtually everything just drive me crazy. Oh ( Read more... )

I'm attempting to figure out what makes me decide to stay up really late on random nights when I'm already sleep deprived. At least I don't have anything to do tomorrow so I can be up as late as I want without feeling too terrible. Yay ( Read more... )

Well, my tests last week were terrible, just plain terrible. There's maybe a chance that I passed the thermo test (re-working it to turn in for extra points tomorrow), but I don't know how likely it is that I passed my comp test. I managed to somehow pick the absolute wrong method of doing every problem, which just made things go fabulously. Oh ( Read more... )

This week has been filled with complete randomness and spazzing about tests. Talk about crazy stuff! I had my first test of the year yesterday in Advanced Chemical Engineering Thermo. I actually put in a lot of time studying for the test from about Friday through Monday night, but I still felt completely clueless. It's almost as though Dr. H. ( Read more... )

It's been well over a month since I last posted anything, but it's not as though I don't check lj every day to see what my friends are up to. So, I figured that today was as good a day as any for me to get off my butt and say something. Grad school is both the best and worst thing I've experienced at MSU. It's great because I only have class on ( Read more... )
