I have to go get my final letter of recommendation so I left work a bit early. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get out of this stupid-ass 5-6 conference call. I don’t know why the hell I even have to be here – I’m so unnecessary at this point! But I’m home and I’m [...]

Okay – the second attempt at my personal statement is successful. I can’t even read it again because I’ll start crying – it truly reflects my heart and how I feel about my choice to go into this field. I’ve often heard that if you want to do something but you can’t explain [...]

Okay, my application for graduate school is nearing completion! I’m picking up my final letter of recommendation today and have only to finish my personal statement and write the check for dropping everything in an overnight package and sending it on it’s way YAYAYAY!!!

This article is a good jumping off point – at least for references and some ideas about where I can start.

I read comic books from the time I was about 12 until I was around 30. I still take a look occasionally but I don’t like the art as much as I used to. I especially don’t like the way so many of the characters look like children. My favorite comic book [...]

I was listening to The Crystal Method and jamming out to their song “Now is the Time” when the realization hit me – NOW really IS the time. All times are now, we just don’t get it. We break time up into all kinds of pieces and chunks. When someone asks me [...]

I showed jneal the cover sheets for my application package yesterday and she promptly mocked me. Yes, she mocked me.
