Year: 2003

First, I actually took my midterms over two weeks ago, three in some cases. I just haven’t updated my diary in almost three weeks. That is why I’m apologizing in advance for doing something on the order of five diary entries this afternoon. The point of this entry is that I didn’t score as well…

The black hole that is Hicks, the engineering building. I spent 35 hours in the building last Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and over 10 more hours outside of the building still doing engineering-related work. This basically means that the rest of my time was spent eating or sleeping. The really, really scary part is that…

My first entry in a week… I missed church again today. I didn’t even have a good excuse this time, like moving into my new room, working on a lab report, or staying up late the night before: when I set my alarm last night, I forgot to switch it from Weekday to Weekend or…

I actually posted this to K5 almost a week ago, but I forgot to repost on LJ. I am, of course, referring to that sweet, sweet, ambrosia: Mountain Dew. Sure, the Yellow #5 will give you cancer, but that’s a small price to pay for the best carbonated beverage on the market. The caffeine addiction…

I have had a week of contrasts: insane amounts of work broken up by stretches of free time. Unfortunately, all of that free time is late at night, and generally exists at the detriment of my sleep schedule. Classes are going well, and it looks like SWIL membership is off to an excellent start this…

There’s nothing quite like the first day of classes. I am sure you are wondering why I had classes on Labor Day. The explanation is simple: Swarthmore recognizes no holidays. Breaks are for those wimpy Ivy League schools, anyway. We’re hardcore. I had my first two classes today, and one lab. E72 (Electronic Circuit Applications)…

I got all packed up before going to bed on Friday, which made Saturday a little easier as far as getting to the airport on time is concerned. My flight to Philly was uneventful, although we were delayed slightly be the storms in the area. I got all of my stuff from Hicks and moved…

It was surprisingly cold when I woke up this morning. I think my mom opened up the windows a bit early, letting in wave after wave of cool, allergen-filled air. I sneezed a lot. I made hot cocoa. There was also much ass-sittery, as well as game playing and Simpsons watching at Jeff’s house. My…

You’ve probably noticed a distinct lack of journal entries here in The Vacuum of Nurdage. This is because I actually use my diary at http://www.kuro5hin.org/ instead of my LiveJournal. After all, I had a diary going at K5 long before I joined LiveJournal In fact, I only got an LJ account so that I could…
