First night of work

Here I am at work again for the first time in a well...I dunno how long.

Looks like the babysitter is here. I mean it is a nice thing, but really un-needed. First few days have been rather slow.

Have some things due for this weekend but I think I can get it done pretty easily.


I am a bum and need sleep.

Last few days

Almost done here... Just a few days to go.

So, called the family and wished them a merry Christmas and all that jazz. I'll be home for New Years.
Other than that, last night was a bit scary because I had a pretty bad fever and sick. Today is better, to which I have no clue why.

Other news?
Brenton and Momo are my new housemates. We'll be together for the next 6 months, then I get to decide if I am going to stay or not in the house (so prolly will be)

Got a Jered

So I have Jered here. Been here since last Sat. He's here to visit and leaves a day after I do from Oslo. Dunno where we are gonna stuff him. Anywho, I've been having a lot of trouble trying to pack because I am rather tired all the time and my back hurts like no other.

Hoping everyone has an amazing X-mas. Not my favorite holiday, but meh...

Asshat


I'm an @ssH@t. Not wanting to explain, but I am. Also I am oddly sick. I need to eat real food, but I've also felt like cap since Tues. with a sore throat.

Nothing really new on the dish. Getting ready to leave and therefore posting a new picture of the hell that is my room.

More study that I am not doing


but I've read enough for a break.

OI! New friend... YAY!



I'm been busy with finals and being me my room looks like such:
Onwards to news.

So, as for what I have been thinking.

1. Summer Research in (insert place here)

a. I'm hoping to go to Indiana, I'd like to see some family there. It's been like 6 years since I have.

b. I'll take anyplace really.

c. I need to start the essays for them


2. Graduate school.

a. I've decided to go for certain.

b. Tulane is back on the list (I applied there back for undergradute...)

c. Still gonna throw Stanford in there too. (who knows!)


3. Home

a. Hopefully things will turn out well and the 5 days at home won't leave me crazy

b. Also, maybe the US won't leave me crazy

c. Janterm is going to be strange... and full of fun... sooooo much fun!

I said that I should study

Instead I fell asleep a few times over.

SOOOO... I was reading some back posts and I wanted to reexamine some things.


An original list of things I've noted here and how I felt about them:

1. NOTHING LIKE A WAL-MART, the closest thing is an Ikea, but you can't get food there. I have to go to three different shops for all my needs....

Not too much of a big deal, I still wake up at 4 am with a crazy craving for random stuff but I'm learning to control myself.

2. Men with BABIES... I see men alone with their children all the time.. Baby carriages, snugglies, etc...

I don't even notice anymore, in fact, it's just nice.

3. Small meat market sections

I still miss meat, but salami is cheap and I think the veggie heavy diet has been good for me.

4. Pedestrians don't look when they cross the street, they just blindly walk out with the expectation that traffic will stop... and it does.

Another, thing I've grown used to. I don't think about it anymore.

5. EVERY THINGS COSTS A LOT!!!!!!!!! again... Land of the $20 hot dog.. but my housing is UBER-CHEAP... go figure

Upon later discovery, it's cheap because of communism, not sure how I should feel. Everything is still expensive (but the dollar did get stronger) but I don't think about it anymore.

6. 30,000 students at this college...

Only difference I have noticed is that I don't run into my friends as much as I would like.

7. 500,000 people in this city

There's more to do here than in SHERMAN!

8. No cheap off brands (except for one, first price, but it's hard to find)

Finally figured things out more, still bugs me though.

9. People are BLUNT, no tact

I'm blunt too, why the hell did I even care?

10. It's really cool to accidentally discover a castle in the middle of the city

That is still really cool, or to take a train to a lake, or a bus to the woods for hiking!
