Bit of Ivory

So, yesterday and the day before, I ended up taking my very first sick days since I started working here. That’s a pretty good track record, eh? Anyway, I woke up that morning feeling like I hadn’t gotten any sleep at all (and having pulled a few all-nighters in my life, I *do* know how […]

Okay, so. This week has been so slow. And today has been slower. There are several reasons for this. The first is that I haven’t been sleeping well (for reasons unknown), so I am dead tired. Going to see Hairspray at 9:30 PM on Wednesday night did not help this situation. The second is that […]

I’ve decided who my Most Hated Artist Played By KOSY is. This was not an easy decision. Even the groups/artists I like get played too much (I hear at least four Carpenters songs a day, and they only play about 8 different ones, so it gets old). But there are several artists that I just […]

That is what I have managed to make out of my 100% hemp yarn. That’s what I get for thinking that I could wind it into a ball without the aid of a swift or even a chair back. It will probably take an hour to untangle. Joy. It’s a pretty color, though. A very […]

Okay. Let’s see. I think I’m going to break this down into categories for ease of organization and such. 1) School: Pretty much the same. What with starting a new job and still being quite exhausted, not much progress has been made on the thesis. But things are looking up for this week. I’m determined […]

Yup, that would be me. My contract job with WGU wasn’t working out (mainly because I hardly ever did any actual work, what with being so unscheduled and all, and because it was boring as all get-out), and since the beginning of the year I’ve been looking into regular part-time jobs. I did have a […]

For the first time in 5 years, BYU beat Utah! In a last-minute (literally, we had 3 seconds left to run our last play) come-from-behind waaaaay-too-close-for comfort touchdown pass, BYU BEAT UTAH, 33-31. I’m so happy, I could cry.

Not going to London. I’m not too extremely disappointed, as I made it a point not to get my hopes up. But still. Yet another instance of “you’re good, but not good enough.” I’m getting really sick of this.

With taking the lit GRE on December 5 (luckily they had space for me at the Salt Lake testing center, so I don’t have to drive to Cedar City) and continued writer’s block– December graduation is not happening. So I was aiming for April instead, until– the graduate secretary sent an e-mail around listing the […]
