It just hit me today that Christine, German Christine, will be in America, in Raleigh, in my apartment, in ONE WEEK AND TWO DAYS. I’ve been doing so much this summer that it hadn’t sunk in. And OH YEA. Let’s not forget that EMILY GREENE will be home too. THIS IS SO AMAZING. And then Rhi will be here in a mere two weeks. Seriously, these three events are going to rock my world.
I’d have to say it was a good weekend. Thanks, friends.
Well, my iPod went for a little swim last night.
I had a late night adventure to Cookout last night with Jill, Davis, etc. As I turned onto Kent from Western, somehow my faithful friend slid off my lap right into a cup of waterLifeguard Jill pulled it out, dripping wet. It didn’t turn on immediately, so I let it dry out last night. This morning, I got what I think is a sad Mac face, although it was a frowning picture of an iPod, and not just a sad face. Not looking good. I let it be a little longer and got a few more sad faces. Then I got just the dead battery symbol. So maybe after charging it will recover. I must say though, I have had that iPod for three years now without one single problem. I was sure something was going to mess up, crash, go haywire — but of course it would be my own fault for its dying.
This is a fun article that hits the nail on the head in many respects. My favorite is…
“Realistic expectations are everything. If you have unrealistic expectations, they will rarely be met. If you think that you can go from nowhere to having someone wonderful in love with you, you are probably wrong.
You need expectations that match reality before you can make some progress. There may be exceptions, but they are rare.”
This is my first blog post via digg.com! fun stuff!
I now have an about page and contact page.
I can’t sleep. Totally regretting that post-goat cookout diet coke. It was so good though!
I find you very therapeutic. I can easily clear my mind. I vow to run the West Loop at least once a week.
I was just checking around my server information today for no real reason, and discovered that artismypeace.net’s official birthday is April 15, 2002. Happy Belated 6th birthday, aimp! I really cannot believe it has been that long. I’ve been trying to rack my brain and remember what my first layout looked like. I’m sure it looked terrible, but who knew such beautiful things would stem from that.
This also makes aimp an Aries. Very compatible with Aquarius. No wonder we’ve been friends for so long.
I’m totally in love with netvibes — thanks to Jessica and Maggie for that. I check it frequently throughout the day. Here are the feeds you can find on my netvibes:
I just registered for the GRE. Saturday, September 20. This scares me a bit on several levels. This means I need to actually study for the GRE. Actually, that is sort of why I wanted to go ahead and register; I now have a set deadline in mind, so I have to be ready by then. But taking the GRE also means figuring out where I am applying to. I am 90% that I want to get a Master’s of City and Regional Planning, concentrating in environmental planning or land use planning. For right now, the schools that have the most appealing programs to me are (in no particular order):
But then I start thinking, “Do I really want to go straight into graduate school? Will I even get into graduate school?” I have a pretty clear idea of what I would like to do as a career, but at what other point in my life am I going to be free of any real responsibilities and obligations? So I think, Peace Corps! AmeriCorps! Student Conservation Association! Teach English in China! I don’t know. All of the possibilities really excites me, but deciding on one is daunting. I know whatever is supposed to happen will fall into place. I guess the GRE is the first step.
HA HA HA <– Link. I need to change my stylesheet.
That is the funniest picture/article ever.
