Californians are total eco freaks. I have always been interested in being green/saving the environment/all that jazz, but it hasn’t always been made easy for me. The only instances I can think of are at TIC and Kresge, where they had bins for recycling printer paper. At MIIS, there are more recycling bins than trash [...]
California
So a lot has been going on since I last spent some quality time with my blog. Well, I’ve been working on tweaking a new layout but haven’t sat down to write an entry in awhile. First, I got a temp job through Aquent with Stanford Hospital & Clinics Communications office. My first day of [...]
Lots going on, so a quick update. Corner and I went out for sushi on his birthday and to PF Chang’s for our 2 year anniversary. I suppose I could pause for a moment and reflect on how amazing he is and the fact that we’ve been dating 2 years and it feels like 2 [...]
Nigel, Corner, and I have arrived in California safe & sound. We are currently staying with Bolt, another former SMB tuba, in Fairfield. Bolt’s place is on the edge of the good & bad parts of town. Let’s just say I don’t take the dog out alone at night. On Sunday we drove into the [...]
I apologize for keeping everyone in suspense regarding my plans at this important juncture of my life. Corner flew in to Indianapolis on the evening of Tuesday, August 5. We had a late night snack at Triple XXX (probably my favorite place in West Lafayette!). My last day of work was Wednesday, August 6. I [...]
So I am currently sitting in the O’Hare airport and decided that I should probably write a blog entry since I paid $6.95 for a few hours of internet access. California was great, as usual. I got into the Orange County airport at about 2pm on Wednesday (July 2). Corner met me there and we [...]
Soooooo I’m done with my undergraduate career at MSU! I suppose this is the last blog entry I will place in the “college” category. I got a 500/500 on my portfolio presentation (YEAHHHHH!). Google interview on Monday. I chatted with Sasha on the phone for a bit today and he offered me some helpful advice [...]
Yesterday I got an email from Google asking to schedule 2 phone interviews with me! OH THE EXCITEMENT. Items still standing between me & a bachelor’s degree (in the order they will be completed): 1 final project for JRN 408 (paper airplane graphic!) 1 final exam for FRN 430 (cumulative, 300 pts) 1 memo for [...]
It just hit me today that if I have things my way, I will be moving out of 137 Bogue in less than one month. I think it was the warm weather that really did it. So I started packing up some things, put away my ceramic heater, threw some stuff out, and packed away [...]
I’m sitting in the Denver, Colorado airport typing this on my Michigan State University-owned laptop. Soon I will be home and I am not quite sure what awaits me there. Boxes of things to sort through, a too skinny mother, a worn down father. I’ve ignored the reality of everything all summer and now I’m [...]
