The last time I used this thing was over a year ago.

Well, hello there.  I've had my ups and downs since I graduated exactly two years ago.

In that time frame, I have

• left a career path (I don't want to be an actuary),
• switched to a new job (Epic!),
• moved cities (from Chicago to Madison...eh...I'm not happy about this),
• experienced severe bouts of ( Read more... )

So in the weeks since I graduated from Harvard, I had been mulling over the idea of blogging.  Mind you this was a very difficult decision to make, comparable to the one Lebron James made last year.  However, although Lebron and I both make 'big decisions', there is one stark difference between the two of us.

I WIN.

But enough dissing on Lebron.  The ( Read more... )

Hollywood never looked so great,
But I will be leaving,
Before you start sleeping.

Now that my face is frozen with expressions I've chosen,
And I'm no where close to my own city,

Two words: Thesis and GTA IV.

Really happy with this semester and also how this year in general went overall.  And as  I'm nearing the end of my college years, the more I understand why I liked my time at Harvard (to be continued).

Wow ebay killed my finances this past month...

Okay it's still perfectly fine, but a few purchases can do a lot of damage...

Not buying anymore video games and books for a long time...

May be spent teaching math and coaching soccer at a school in South Africa.  I'll definitely check out some WC 2010 matches if I can :).

Sweet.

Now all I need is a Rockefeller grant.

Math 113, Stat 111, English 141, Hist B-13.

That and I need to start looking into the next batch of actuarial exams.  I would like to pass a few more of them before I graduate...

Speaking of which, I'm going to ball (soccer) with some people tomorrow.  Time to school some people!

I'm not sure if I should be content or pissed about a 3.4 GPA this past semester.  I'm serious.  I'm a little upset about stat 210, but, on the other hand, I didn't bomb my non-concentration classes.  I guess I'm glad I didn't bomb my cores, but also upset that I didn't do extremely well in my math classes.  Instead I guess I could say I did " ( Read more... )
