Just Another Ordinary Day

The good news: I'm now immune to typhoid.

The bad news ... Okay, so today there's not really any "bad" news. It's been pretty uneventful, except for the typhoid thing. Worked some, got my shots, went to supper with my grandparents ... That's about it.

Last night was great, though. I finally had a night I could actually relax -- watched some TV, took care of some more Russia stuff, was a general lazy bum. It was nice, but I have to wonder how people do that on a frequent basis; I'd get bored out of my skull.

I'm starting a new blog; you can get to it from the link in my sidebar. I've missed having an outlet for fiction, and decided a new blog would be preferable for that, compared to my creative non-fiction found here. This one shouldn't suffer much; I'll still want to vent about everything else.

That's all I've got for today. Hello to Jen, Darren, Ashli, and whomever else may be reading this. And again -- where did "Migrate" go?


I hate public opinion. Ask anybody.

I understand "bored out of my skull". Cause right now I'm so out of my skull bored that I am gazing down at my skull wondering if my head was always that mis-shapened.

I love Creationists. They keep my life interesting.

I'm OK with maybe leaving 1 or 2 booklets of religious-paleontology-attacking material in a public museum (just to subtly spread the other side of the story. I try to remain open minded about the whole issue BUT 8 MINI BOOKS HIDDEN AROUND THE MUSEUM IS A LITTLE MUCH. It was like some sort of weird Easter Egg Hunt. It was kinda fun and kept me humored for a little while.

Thanks for the hello! I'm quite excited for the three day weekend. Sunday a bunch of Allan's friends from his meat judging team are having a bbq at his best friend's (Jared) house in town here. We might go wonder around Allerton Park sometime, and he wants to hit the drive in theatre. It sounds like the weekend wont be too boring here. Sorry I randomly started reading your blog quite intently, but it lets me connect with someone back home! Cheers everyone!

Hey Jen -- No issues chica, read away! I like hearing from people ... Speaking of which, how are things in Illinois?

Hey Dear-

Things in Illinois are going pretty good! Last night I inflicted some of my hickish ways upon Illinois folk by teaching them how to jitterbug. I really like my job down here which is fun, and Allan doesn't drive me too insane! I hope you and Aaron are doing well and your job is going beautifully as well!

Perfect

Biochemistry brings strange revelations. All right, so I'm not one for smooth transitions. It's been another week for reflection and whatnot, and that includes while I'm in class. Have you ever taken a look back at yourself and realized how completely and totally different you are now than you were X number of years ago? I guess I'm thinking specifically of my college-aged readers ... Take, for instance, you in high school versus you now. I know I've changed; I look roughly the same, but just about everything else is different, especially my thought processes. I am a Christian scientist. Well, Christian engineer (this semester, more scientist some days). Those two sides don't always get along very well. But today, in biochemistry, the intricacy of the glycolysis pathway hit me and my "inner response" was something like, "Holy cow." Okay, so maybe that last sentence didn't make much sense to anyone but me. Let me rephrase. We were

SWG2L: Party Of One

Jonah Hill, continuing to make Jason Segal uncomfortable. (Universal Pictures) Matthew the Waiter: Hey, how's it going? Peter Bretter: Hey, I'd like to grab some dinner, please. Matthew: Okay, great. Is your wife gonna meet you? Peter: No. Matthew: Your girlfriend? Peter: No, I don't have a girlfriend, so... Matthew: [confused] You're just by yourself? Peter: Yeah. Matthew: Sucks. Okay, so just one. Here's your wine list, your menu, come on. You want, like, a magazine or something? It's gonna be boring if you're just sitting by yourself. Peter: No, I'll be alright. Thank you. Matthew: I would just be so depressed. ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Yeah, that's right. I just quoted that . I swear, it's relevant.) I had coffee with one of my single friends a few weeks back and we got onto the topic of "Things To Do When You're Single." More accurately, we were talking about things that should be experienced and one

Falling Asleep In The Lab

That title is misleading. Usually when I use a title like that, it implies that it has actually happened. I haven't fallen asleep in the lab. That would be the ultimate in nerdy. I am, however, zoning out in the lab. I'm as good as unconscious. So much to do, so much time spent on a computer. Despite my "week off," I feel as though I've accomplished nothing. This isn't really true -- I have the homework assignments to prove it -- but there's something about hours of typing that boil down to 10 pages of veritable crap to make you feel as though you haven't really done anything. That and the fact that most of your blood has pooled in your lower body due to lack of physical activity. Egads. So ... How's it going? Life is okay here. Pretty uneventful. Homework, regular work, etc. etc. Very much unlike last week, but that's not a bad thing. I could use a good six months before another Week like last week. This week's major event is
