So I now work in the maintenance department of the memorial union, where I do all sorts of odd-jobs to keep the building standing and to repair/build furniture- and everything in between. Today was my first day, and my boss wasnt really prepared for me, so I didnt have a lot to do. I got a general breakdown of where various tools and parts were ( Read more... )

Life is pretty good these days. I've been doing a fair amount of things, but still having plenty of time to exercise my laziness. I've been playing ultimate (almost daily), lifting weights, and all sorts of miscellaneous shit. I suppose a few highlights would be rock climbing, biking (though fun, was mixed with tragedy), and just generally ( Read more... )

I'm writing this to help my own train of thought and also to use as a reference in the future ( Read more... )

Apparently a week spent in Georgia with a bunch of guys and girls I didn't really know was exactly what I needed.  Even though things could have gone better for me ultimate-wise (fuckin' knee) which was the whole reason I went to Georgia in the first place, hanging out and getting to know everyone on ISUC was a great experience ( Read more... )

I know this is hard to imagine, but the Frostbite tournament was very cold.  So cold in fact, that on saturday we were attacked by a wall of wind and snow.  The snow came and went on a whim, but the wind stuck.  I was very glad that I had prepared and brought plenty of winter gear, but even that did not save me from numb toes and fingers and the ( Read more... )

I meant to make this post before frostbite, but oh wells.  Basically, I wanted to show off my creativity and garner some oo's and aah's from my readers (which are mandatory, by the way).  Anyway, every year Mr. Heinen over the middle school has a clay day for his class and they make sculptures and shit and I take advantage of the situation by ( Read more... )

Well, I suppose it was inevitable.  My cloths that I got in the 7th grade are finally starting to fall apart, and so now I need to go and get some new threads.  However, I have no idea what I want, and I certainly dont have much sense for fashion (im still wearing cloths I got in the 7th grade, for one).  So perhaps you, my friends, can help me ( Read more... )

I think I've always been fairly good at shaking off my troubles, maybe apathy has something to do with that, but somehow I've always been able to shrug it off or tough it out.  A stubborn procrastinator, I remember being tested for ADHD, and later being sent to a plethora of psycologists while simultaniously being forced to go to sylvan learning ( Read more... )
