Day Zero project update: the 2-year mark

September 1, 2011

Two years ago I started my Day Zero project. I’m not sure how so much time has passed already, but somehow there are only 271 days left. Thus far, I have accomplished 45/101 goals: Take the GRE Apply to grad school Apply to at least one grad school that’s a “reach” school Teach a class/workshop [...]

Quick notes about my new job

August 30, 2011

The new job is going well, but I am not allowed to say much about it online (so if you’ve been wondering why I’ve been so quiet about it, that’s why). I think it’s safe to say a few things though: I had to acquire new clothes (no jeans allowed). Not only that, but on [...]

RollerCon 2011 and my seemingly endless Fresh Meat status

August 11, 2011

I had an absolute blast at RollerCon. I shared a room with my friend Leslie, who is also part of Suburbia Roller Derby’s latest Fresh Meat class. Considering we were in Vegas, the two of us were very well behaved. We crammed our days full of classes. We barely left the hotel. Well, we left [...]

Disjointed thoughts about our Michigan vacation

July 21, 2011

I am happy to say that our week-long trip to Michigan was both eventful and relaxing (if those two things can possibly go together). I did everything I said I wanted to do in my last blog entry, with the exception of making a Wal-Mart run. While Kathy, Corner, and I did make a trip [...]

Quick life update: 25th birthday, new job, Fresh Meat, and upcoming vacations

June 27, 2011

I have been a rotten blogger lately and I apologize for that. So before June slips into July, I wanted to give you all a quick update on my life. I had a great 25th birthday. I had a low-key celebration at Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden in Astoria. I got a lot of great [...]

Doing more things that make me happy.

April 29, 2011

I have decided to do more things that make me happy. I have a tendency to turn into a big ball of stress when things start to get overwhelming (although you’d never know it since the stress only shows when I’m AT HOME)…and the last few weeks have definitely been a bit taxing. Sooooo to [...]

The grad school verdict: I’m not going (for now, anyway)

April 20, 2011

Last Friday I mailed my candidate reply form to NYU declining their admission offer. I can’t tell you how many emotional evenings I spent weighing the pros and cons, complaining to Corner about how difficult it was to decide, and even pressing him to make the decision for me. I went to the ITP space [...]

A quick note about things that make you uncomfortable.

April 15, 2011

This morning I attended a spin class at the gym where Corner and I have memberships. If you’ve been following our gym saga, shortly after writing a blog post about the situation, we found a gym practically around the corner from our house that offers memberships for $30/mo, including classes. Anyway, so I attended a [...]

The grad school dilemma (aka NYU is super expensive and I am not sure if I should go).

March 31, 2011

I got into my first choice school! Hooray! I have the chance to attend NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications program. It was my first choice Masters program, and I got in. However, I wasn’t offered any funding, and NYU isn’t cheap. I would probably finish the program with about $80k in student loans. And that would only [...]

Day Zero updates: no nail biting and my week of vegetarianism in review.

February 17, 2011

I got an OPI gel manicure this weekend at a cute little spa in Astoria. I feel like I am really capable of accomplishing my Day Zero goal of actually ceasing to bite my nails. It’s been a battle for me my entire life…but then I got braces, which made it a lot harder to [...]
