This is NOT an Endorsement.

However I do think it is funny and the girl who “sings” it is hot.

FINALLY DONE WITH FINALS!

Whew. I can relax for a day or two. Then it’s back to research. I am trying to get published this summer; so we’ll see how that goes.

Work Work Work

So much work. So little time. So busy. At least I am going running everyday. SO much work. I will be relieved after we get audited and pass. Then I will go on vacation.

Weekend Update

Hi all,

This week went by way too fast. We are already well into the first week of May; the sun sets past 8p.m.; and the class of 2008 at UW graduates in little over a month–which means the countdown to my own graduation begins very shortly. I can’t believe either of these three things. The year is going by so fast. I start my new job (still with the bank) on Tuesday. I am so grateful and thankful for the opportunity, as it was completely unexpected and I will do a great job.

It was a rare yet beautiful day in Seattle today. All is going well, but I have lots of homework to do. Papers to write; museums to visit; research to do; and a midterm to take tomorrow–though I think I am pretty set for a 4.0 on that one. I am starting to turn a new page in the discipline of my life. Tomorrow I plan to start running at 5a.m.; make my own breakfast and lunch; get into shape. We’ll see how it works.

If I hadn’t told you already, I am learning Chinese and I am pleased with the progress I am making. It is not nearly as inaccessible a language as once I thought, but I still think that Romance languages, owing to their Latin alphabet, are far superior–logically speaking–to the ideogram-based Asian languages.

I’m pretty bummed the Rockets lost YET ANOTHER playoff series after making the second-longest winning streak in the history of the NBA. They were simply out-played, badly matched, and badly seeded. The Rockets had a real good shot at the #1 seed this year and that was their own doing in not getting it.

I am not dead, just studying.

This is it. Crunch time. Being a junior/senior in college is way harder than being a junior/senior in high school. So sorry for the lack of updates. They will flow like a river once this week is over.

The Weekend Update

Wow. This weekend pretty much sucked. No other way around it. This has been THE worst weekend in my life. Absolutely the worst. I don’t even know what to say. I feel really sick right now. That is all.

And to top it off.. I didn’t even get you:

This weekend really. really. really. blew.

Hey Y’all

This must be the millionth time I have uprooted my “blog” or “web log” or “journal” or whatever you want to call it and tried starting a new and supposedly permanent one. Oh well. Either way, I was thinking tonight how I suppose I am one of the original generation of “bloggers” or people who write about things online at any rate. I had (have) my Xanga account since about the turn of the millennium. I updated it almost daily. Some of those old posts make me turn red in the face when I read them–the hubris; the teenage awkwardness. Haha. Towards the end of Xanga, however, some of my posts were marked by a prescience and clarity of thought that I have yet to recover since moving to Seattle.

Anyway, this new online iteration of my life will tend to focus on the news, events, people and places that matter to me. You’ll find anything from an interesting story I read, to pictures of what I’ve been up to, to reviews of movies or restaurants that I’ve recently been to.

Thanks for reading!
