Spring so far

Thought I’d give y’all an update on what the haps are. I finished my final projects and tests early last week. Turned in a final paper about Facebook’s Photos and Events application linkage, phonemic alternation in Mandarin, and took a test on data structures. The next morning I woke up bright and early to haul… Continue reading Spring so far

Hot dang

That was successful! I threw a goodbye party at my apartment last night.

Both times I expect to fill two suitcases with ITEMS. That might take care of something like half of… Continue reading Movin'

Should I do it.

Next quarter is academically weird. I’m only taking one three-credit class, and auditing another one.

This weekend, despite voting and gaming with friends and going shopping with other friends and attending a friend’s recital and friendsfriendsfriends I’m still feeling pretty neglected and lonely right now. Also I feel pretty incompetent because I bombed a midterm today and I’ve just been thinking about my path as a grad student and just… Continue reading Locked because employers are looking… (actually who cares – unlocked)
