My boyfriend is a fancypants and I’m a wannabe derby girl.

Corner had an onsite interview on Friday for a job up in Woodland, CA. He also has an interview tomorrow for a government job in Jamaica, NY. Still no word on the jobs in the Moss Landing office. All I can say is that it’s super stressful not knowing exactly what is going on in [...]

Quick update on grad school plans and my mostly uneventful life.

August 2, 2010

Well, I am officially registered to take the GRE on Saturday, September 25. That will be one more goal down on Day Zero list. Wish me luck, as I’m pretty sure my quant score is going to be fairly abysmal. :) Updated list of grad schools to apply to: Interactive Telecommunications @ NYU Interaction Design [...]

Thumbnail image for Crazy dreams, progress on my Day Zero goals, and my new blog design.

I have been trying to blog more frequently, and it has been working for a few months, but in July I have really fallen off the bandwagon. Mostly because I am trying to relax and catch my breath a bit! I have managed to (finally) debut a new blog theme using the Thesis WordPress theme [...]

Is it just me, or is everyone a little scared to try new things?

July 2, 2010

Tuesday after work I attended my first spin class at Om Oasis in Monterey. Corner bought me a 6-class card for my birthday and I finally made some time to go down there. Luckily I made a post about my intentions on Facebook, and several friends suggested I wear bike shorts. I thought that might [...]

In which I pretend to be a financially-savvy 20-something.

June 29, 2010

I wanted to write a quick update regarding a few of my Day Zero goals. I am on track to pay off my student loans in the next 12 months, which means only 1 more year until financial freedom (at least until I go back to grad school and do it all over again)! That [...]

Corner is lame and writing a cover letter so I am staying up to write a blog entry.

June 24, 2010

The Rolling Stone issue with Lady Gaga on the cover arrived at my house today! YAY! But I gotta say it: her butt is really badly Photoshopped. Anyway. I am happy because I am pretty sure my subscription is expiring soon (it was a free subscription that I got for buying No Doubt tickets last [...]

Not a lot has happened this past week. Yesterday after work I was feeling a bit down so I went to the Del Monte Shopping Center to pick up my new contact lenses and wandered in Victoria’s Secret. I am a sucker for their semi-annual sale; I got a pair of jeans (my first NEW [...]

I just wanted to share a couple of shots of the awesome birthday gift I received from my sister Kathy. It’s an MSU yearbook from 1960. Sooooo fun to look through this at the dorms, the band, etc.

I can’t believe I’m only one year away from turning 25

June 9, 2010

Well, I hope my employer isn’t too disappointed that I am no longer one of Clay Shirky’s token 23-year olds since I turned 24 yesterday. And what a good birthday it was. Mom sent me 3 Michigan State t-shirts and a box full of Victoria’s Secret goodies. Kathy bought me a sweet necklace and a [...]

When I grew up, I wanted to be an archaeologist.

June 7, 2010

When I was little, I was obsessed with dinosaurs. I knew the names of most of the species, what era they were from, who had discovered/named many of them, and other random trivia that I think surprised my parents a bit because weren’t dinosaurs supposed to be a boy thing? There was even a boy [...]
