So much for that idea. . .

Got my letter from the English Composition department. I will not be teaching English 115 in the fall. GAH. They said that they just had too many qualified applicants. Yeah. Still makes me feel like I suck. And now I will have graduated with my masters degree with no teaching experience whatsoever, which is not […]

GAH.

The Snape and Sirius threads at SQ are driving me BATTY. It’s not that either of them are particulary bad today– no worse than usual, at least– but they’re both extremely popular at the moment. The Snape thread is the fastest moving thread at SQ, did you know that? Seems almost counter-intuitive, considering that SQ […]

Am sick.

April 5th, 2005 · Comments Off

Missed school and work yesterday, and work today. I don’t know exactly what it is, a kind of coldy- flu-y thing. It started with a sore throat and a humongous headache and progressed to a stuffy nose, waves of nausea and a fever. So am hanging out at my parents’ house. It SUX, really, since […]

Letters. ‘Cause I feel like it today. cheap custom essay Dear Mr. Scott, Thank you so much for insisting on giving us sight reading exercises in choir every day in high school. Not only did it make for incredibly funny moments when you accidentally picked a hymn from the protestant hymnal that happened to be […]

Just Keep Swimming. . .

March 20th, 2005 · 1 Comment

That’s what this week has felt like. Just keep swimming, it’ll all be over eventually. What I really need is a nice vacation, but it ain’t happening. BYU, for some reason I will never fully fathom, does not have spring break. The only holidays we get in winter semester are for Martin Luther King day […]

Bleargh.

Just had a root canal. Not my favorite experience ever. Although, in terms of pain and suffering, this doesn’t come close to some of my dental procedures. The worst was during the process of getting my new bridge and caps done. They gave me some novacaine that was supposed to last a shorter time, because […]

Phew!

So. Fiddled with the template all day. I think it’s finally working the way I want it to. I went in and adapted the default template and style sheet. I had to add a third column, change the colors, add the banner to the top (which I made all by myself in Photoshop using a […]

Grad school *can* be fun. :P

March 3rd, 2005 · 1 Comment

In one of my classes the prof decided that rather than have a semester paper we’d do 4 smaller “Oxford style” tutorial papers; thus my verse forms in LotR and Love and Marriage in LotR papers. They’ve been fun and relatively painless; no research is actually required, which I’m not used to doing these days. […]

Hooray for the weekend!

February 18th, 2005 · Comments Off

I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to have a long weekend. Siriusly, folks, it’s a good thing this semester only lasts until mid-April, because it’s an absolute beast. I thought I was tired before. Hah. Being able to sleep in on a Monday, even if it’s only one day, will be paradise. And […]

I feel as though I have nothing to say.

February 9th, 2005 · Comments Off

Have you ever been so incredibly busy that it feels like you’re doing nothing at all? Yeah. Feeling like that. Most of the stuff I’m doing would be supremely boring to most of the people who read this, and that which may be interesting to you all, I find I don’t want to talk about. […]
