walking contradiction

Monday, March 26th, 2007

so…in addition to being a loving wife, an amazing mother, and keeping our house from falling apart and making sure our bills are paid, Erika has taken on the role of my personal copyeditor: she has pointed out to me, many times, that I always manage to use the wrong word in my posts at […]

third time is a charm?

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

so…Do you remember this? (I hope you don’t…I mean, if you’re remembering stupid things like that from two years ago, you need a hobby…)
…well, I received my College Yearbook yesterday!!!
Oh, did I forget to tell you something?
Nope.
I’m still not graduating this year!
It would seem the UMASS is hanging on my every word, and when I […]

bizarro: up is down, left is right, back is front…

Sunday, September 18th, 2005

so…a month ago, I found myself in an interesting position on the train. Well, now I’m the one reading the Bible on the train…
…as part of my Myth, History and Prophesy of the Old Testement class I’ve been reading Genesis during my commute. It is very bizarre reading the Bible…on the train, or otherwise. […]

(30 students + 30 computers) x no windows equals…

…one funky-ass smelling GIS lab!
I swear, it’s 85-degrees in this computer lab, and a few people are a few hours past ripe!
How can I be expected to concentrate in conditions like these? I know about the 15-minute rule, but isn’t there some sort of “this class smells like old cheese” rule that we could put […]

if it’s written it must be true!

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

so…on the second anniversary of this post, UMASS has once again put hopes of graduation in my mind:

I guess the university feels that the amount of credits I have left means that I’m graduating this year I’m not going full time, so no graduation until June 2007.
An interesting like thing about the post […]

They died happy

Tuesday, August 9th, 2005

so…I’m not a “rah-rah Go America!” type of person. I don’t have anything against the country — some people in the country, sure, but not the geographic location — but I’m pretty much against overt patriotism just for the sake of it…
…I did, however read something is Snowball Earth that gave me an “Americans know […]

whining about education

Wednesday, February 9th, 2005

so…last week, I posted about my lab TA and how she is famous for unwittingly insulting the class. Well, over the weekend, I noticed that the post disappeared — our host relocated our sites to another server, but restored from a backup.
Summary:
Our TA said “Hold on, I’m confused. And if I’m confused, you must be […]

back to school

Tuesday, January 25th, 2005

so…today is the beginning of the Spring semester for me. At least I think it is…
When I woke up this morning, my school was listed as closed on the news ticker, but when I checked their website this morning to get the location for tomorrow’s class I didn’t see anything that would indicate closure.
I made […]

integrate this!

Friday, December 3rd, 2004

so…I’m off to class to take a quiz on the Fundamental Theorum of Calculus. Believe me, I was just as suprized as anyone when I found out that the Fundamental Theorum of Calculus wasn’t “it sucks.”
I leave you with a Calculus-themed pick-up line:
Are you a differentiable function? Because I’d like to be tangent to your […]

spring: when a man’s attention turns to school?

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

so…it’s that time of the semester to select my schedule for the spring semester. I’m only taking two classes this semester — I say only as if I normally take more, but I don’t — I’m taking Calculus I and Hydrology.
It’s becoming more and more difficult to pick classes around my work schedule. I’ve taken […]
