The Quest For Creativity

It’s been extremely quiet on this blog for many months now for a good reason.
I am busy.
Not in that “little moments of life” way but in a work, school, and quest for creativity kind of way.
I have been very fortunate to pick up extra hours at work lately and have been close to forty hours [...]

Blockage McBlockerton

What’s worse than having writer’s block?  Having writer’s block when you have to pump out a 2,000 word term paper in two days.
With my final week of this semester upon me the motivation to finish is completely, and utterly, gone.

One More Class And All It Took…

…was a global economic meltdown.
I just found out that as part of my general education requirements for school is Principles of Macro Economics.
Thanks Wall Street.
Having said that, I’m a bit puzzled as to why it wasn’t a requirement in the first place.  While we tend to think of our own individual countries as little (ok, [...]

English II
College Algebra
International Politics
Understanding Religious Traditions
Intro To Meteorology
Oh yeah.  I screwed myself.  *dances*  That said, I’m getting [...]

Below is a poll with four different thesis topics.  Vote for the one you think I should do as I can’t give a [...]

Lessons Learned

Life Lesson #49834 – No matter who you’re going to meet that night, always wear comfortable shoes.
How’s that for a “Hello!” after so many weeks away?
I managed to embarrass myself on Halloween by wearing the completely wrong shoes in order to look hot and in fact just made myself look like a drunken fool as [...]

I Just Spent A Day On Io…

“The Universe is Big. Really big. It may seem like a long way to the corner chemist, but compared to the Universe, that’s peanuts.”
~Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Douglas Adams
That is the quote that has been going through my mind as I studied [...]

A Bit Of Frustration Never Hurt Anyone

It is officially week two of school and I am frustrated.
Not because I’m still waiting for the school to send me my big fat financial aid check so I can go buy a pretty new Mac. 
Not because I’m having a hard time balancing work and school and a social life.
No, it’s because for some inexplicable [...]

Enjoy The Silence

Well, school has started and so has my previously unnoticed anxiety about school.  Four classes will be kicking my ass this semester, they are:
Astronomy
Earth Sciences
Intermediate Algebra
English 101
So far I am about three weeks ahead of the syllabus in Earth Sciences (thank you Prof. for making an easy to read and understand schedule), two weeks ahead [...]
