Waking up early rocks!

So I set my alarm for about 7:45 this morning in anticipation of getting up in time to take a shower before my class at 10:00. The alarm goes off, of course, but I decide to forego the shower and end up sleeping another 15 minutes until the alarm goes off again. Then I shut [...]

Totally unproductive…

Totally unproductive… So I had all sorts of lofty aspirations for this past weekend when I packed up my books on Thursday evening and headed home… Catching up on my reading (already); apartment-hunting; working on my taxes; meandering around Brooklyn; maybe doing something vaguely “memorial” on Monday; laundry; etc. I made it as far as [...]

I don’t feel like doing this reading just yet.

So instead I’ll ramble. (1) I’d like to go to Europe for my birthday. Well, around my birthday. I have to take the MPRE on March 11th (a Saturday), meaning that I’m missing out on the chance to leave town on Friday and go somewhere for a full week. I could always come back a [...]

Mad Productivity

So I’ve been on a complete roll since yesterday. After making it through the bulk of my fifteen item to-do list, I stopped off for a beer or two on my way home last night to sit and write a few letters (which I never have time for), and decided that I’d done so well [...]

The douchebag sitting across from me needs to move his computer so I can study.

I swear. Some of the people here have their heads so far up their asses I’m surprised it doesn’t smell when they smile (which is rare anyway). The library, of course, is packed because, well, everyone has more finals this week. I find, like, one of the only empty seats in the library at the [...]

I wish I’d been a part of whatever “task force” wrote this thing.

I’m leafing through a copy of the “2005/2006 Student Guide” I found in the student lounge here at school. This thing is hilarious. I mean, above and beyond serving a purely informational function, student guides are clearly intended to speak to a wider audience — think concerned parents — and serve a liability-limiting function — [...]

I guess I should have thought of this sooner.

My long day at school’s a lot longer if I just sleep through my first class at 9:00. My next class isn’t until 2:00. It totally frees up, like, five hours. Amazing. Drinks tonight with a friend I haven’t seen in a while. Should be fun. Random musings… (1) Don’t wake up and [XXX XXX]. [...]

Wireless networks are a pain in the ass.

I’m a bit miffed with the campus IT people right now. Basically, I installed the VPN client for the campus wireless network a few weeks ago, but my service was always a bit spotty and whether I could actually get online and stay online was a crap shoot every day. I finally scheduled an appointment [...]

So… Sleepy…

So the Thursday night bar shift is totally fun. Busy, but not ridiculously busy, and the whole crew at this place is pretty funny, so the time passes pretty quickly. And cash is king, as they say. The only real downer is the wicked glass cut on the tip of the middle finger on my [...]

Finalizing

OK. So I found out on Friday while I was in Chicago that I got my apartment here. I’m gonna go sign the lease tomorrow. I think I’ve decided to forego heading back to the NC to pack up my stuff until after work’s finished. I figure between what it’ll cost to fly down, rent [...]
