Oof.

I haven’t posted in a while, but I have a million tests and a million CS assignments and a million other things to do.

Time for some Girl Talk.

I recently rediscovered Girl Talk. Not the chattiness of females, but the geeky looking white guy who samples music and turns it into awesomeness. I came upon this by stealing “Triple Double” (an excellent choice) from my sister’s iTunes. And then I remembered I like Girl Talk. Bits and pieces of other artists’ music is turned into a cohesive, completely new piece of music. The album is meant to be listened to as a whole, with no breaks between songs. And it flows pretty well. Can’t wait to put it on a workout mix. I highly recommend it…it’s free for download (legally!) online. Pretty cool stuff.

Spring!

The weather all this week is reminding me of spring…I’m loving it. And since I brought all my shorts home, it’s nothing but skirts and dresses this week! I’m going to be so depressed when it snaps back to cold again.

Jerk.

There are no words for how pissed I am right now.

"But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me."
“Your Feet”, Pablo Neruda

Ouch.

My brain hurts. I have an actual course load now. And the guys doing Jazzercize or whatever on the floor below in their underwear are driving me up the wall.

My life is awesome.

So, I have the best major ever. In this engineering class I’m in right now, we’re supposed to research lung cancer screening and propose improvements to current screening methods as well as potential new methods. How cool is that?!

Anxious.

So, this not having school for the first three days of it makes me really nervous. I feel behind before I’ve even started. Not a good feeling.

Snow day tomorrow!

Snow day tomorrow!

Spring semester…go!

So, I am so excited to get back to school tomorrow and see my favorite Techies! Especially since we have a predicted 4-7 inches of snow. Class better be cancelled. And sledding is happening.

"My struggle is harsh and I come back
with eyes tired
at times from having seen
the unchanging earth,
but when your laughter enters
it rises to the sky seeking me
and it opens for me all
the doors of life."
“Your Laughter”, Pablo Neruda

Wow.

First of all, hopefully I can’t keep up a decent posting schedule because of finals, then holidays.  It should be better when I’m back at Tech and trying to find new and exciting ways to avoid schoolwork.

Secondly…it’s 2011!

This year, I will—

1. Complete my first year at Tech!

2. Turn 19.

3. Other stuff. I dunno. Those are the first things that jump to mind.

Shame, shame, shame on me.

I give myself a template, and I can’t even stick to that. Grr.

So two things I wish I could do?

Not die at Tech, and find the motivation to write this French essay due in 9 hours.

One person I can trust?

Realistically, I don’t trust anyone with every bit of me. Too risky. But I guess my mom. For most things.

Stupid paper.
