  • ‘About’ created

    Finally got around to making a proper About page.

  • Projects

    Projects are as distracting as they are educational.

    Stay thirsty.. and curious, my friends.

  • First Day at New Job Tomorrow!

    As per career advisers advice, I used connects in the community to learn about my area of interest, and sure enough, I got a job!  And the first day of that new job is tomorrow!

    I do still have a handful of remaining shifts with my previous employer, but that will end in less than two weeks.

    Tonight I deleted the recurring events in my Google Calendar for my previous job.  Kinda sad, actually.  That’s my main circle of friends.  I can always go back to visit, and I fully expect to, but I will miss them.

    However, this is a very very positive step.  I’m a bit nervous but very very excited to begin this new chapter of my life.

    Gonna be a bit hard to sleep tonight.

  • Changing rooms

    Was into the guest room, now I’m back in my old room, which my mom was using for her office. Still have a bunch if unpacking to do, but this is a great start.

  • Sleepy!

    Got some good studying done at the library last night.

    Came home and ate some dinner, then listened to dad’s work stories until 2am, which was good. I enjoy listening to them as much as he enjoys telling them.

    Then I was itchin for some IF last night so I started the game 9:05. Then passed out. More on that later when i’ve put some more time into it.

    Update: …i thought it was 10am… not 9am… Surprise! Now I have time for breakfast. Yay.

    Yay now I have time to listen to Diane Rehm.

    While I do need to finish 9:05, I’ve begun looking at other IF to play. I’m going off of the 2012 XYZZY Awards.

    To date, the only piece of IF that I’ve finished is Photopia, which is definitely interesting… I gotta get more under my belt.

    Update update: just finished 9:05… Super short… And yeah, there’s a twist 😀 recommended, play it, it’ll take like 30 minutes.

  • Tired!

    I managed to survive yesterday, I had a great time observing and I had just as much fun at lasers party. I have work at 3:45pm today… And before that I’m gonna try to get some cleaning done in my room. Ugh not enough hours in the day… And I still need to post about how the observing actually went.

  • Big day tomorrow

    1) First day observing, starts at 9am

    2) Meet Laser at my place in the afternoon so he can pick up my speakers and my receiver for his bday party

    3) Work at 5pm

    4) Laser’s 24th bday party

    ..I better get some sleep

  • Home Again

    No more Brentdale.

    As of a half-hour or so ago, I have completely moved out of my apartment in Plano, save for the keys I will give back tomorrow. Right now I’m laying in bed at my parents’ place in Richardson. All of my stuff is still in boxes and I’m not particularly looking forward to finding clothes to wear in the morning. Happy to move on to bigger and better things and really focus on what I need to do to become a teacher, but still a little sad to leave that place behind. Despite only being there for a year, I had a lot of good times in that dinky place. Sadly, my financial situation has precluded me from living there… Also, perhaps this time with my ‘rents will do me some good (read: extra continued swift kicks to the ass). Goodbye freedom to laze on my bum, hello (really) hard work to becoming a productive member of society (again). I keep telling myself this is extra motivation for me to get something going that I’m happy with that isn’t just a job… I need and want a career in education. And I’m going to make it happen.

  • Last night in my apartment

    Moving back in with my parents tomorrow.
