Power has went off 2 times today, both for about an hour to an hour and a half. This ice storm is pretty sucky, I guess. When I went to class this morning, it didn't seem too bad, but I live really close to campus. I'm surprised that ASU wasn't closed itself, since every other school in the county was, and who knows outside of...

Decided to order a beard trimmer from Amazon. Finally, I guess. It'll be helpful so I don't just let my beard grow to the point where it's at its wit's end, and then shave it all off. It'll be a more practical length all the time. I also ordered a few books: Confederacy of Dunces, which I'd seen recommended on SG a lot. It...

Been watching season 3 of Friday Night Lights. It's such a great show. I really like it. Hopefully it gets the nod for a fourth season, although I don't know how likely that would be to happen since most of the cast is in their senior year at the school right now, and I don't know how the show would work with a whole new...

It's funny. There is a guy in my Spanish class that I remember from 7th grade. He and I were in the same Home Ec class. Now, before anyone gets all weird, it was a split course, with the first term being Home Ec and the second behind EITE, which was an electronics course. Not particularly only electronics, we did some other fun stuff. Like...

On the topic of classes this term:
So Dr. Unnold was listed as the instructor of record for the Spanish class that I am taking, but evidently she isn't the instructor for the class. I had thought I went into the wrong room when I saw a twenty-something Spaniard at the front of the room, behind his desk, filling out papers with some type of...

Finals are over finally. Final grades were posted today. This is what I got:
Bio Lab: A
Bio: B
Nutrition: A
Sociology: A
Spanish: A
What's sad is that I never opened the sociology and nutrition books except for maybe an odd definition here or there. Yet I still got As. I don't know if it's a testament to my intelligence or the lower standards...

thanks for the vote of confidence. i've got some time to get my act together. it's all in the preparation, right? hahaha wish i believed that right now...
Thanksgiving was okay. Nothing out of the ordinary since I'm not huge into the celebration thing as some are. I hope everyone had a good one.
Finals are next week. I think I'm pretty solid in most classes, but there are at least 2 I'm kinda sorta worried about though, but I'm sure I'll do fine if I take enough time to prepare for them....

I must admit I haven't been active on SG lately. Can't say I've been really busy either. Classes are pretty easy. Most of what I'm taking are gen ed classes. Most probably freshman level. But I think I've decided that I want to double major in Spanish and something in the business field. I'll be taking some intro courses next term to see what I...

Well, it's not like you had absolutely nothing to post about...and it has'nt been too long since you last posted (like a year or some similar amount of time....which some take as long between posts).
You're just in what I would like to call a "Blog Slump". There's probably lots you could talk about, but you just don't feel it noteworthy enough.

This presidential race is kind of stressful, no? I can't imagine what it is like for the candidates themselves, with the election only being a month away. But it's an important one. This will be the first presidential election that I will have voted in, so I guess it's kind of strange to be a part of one of those things that, as a kid,...

I really hope that the general population looks beyond selfish desires and know that a little sacrifice from all will make a huge difference. No one (as a nation) has been asked to give up anything since WWII, and back then everyone rationed and sacrificed so the nation as a whole would prosper.
Saying this, i really hope my choice makes it into office.
and thanks for the words of encouragement. no word on things yet, but hopefully I'll hear something early next week.

I recently got in a few "Refer a Friend" coupon things from Netflix giving each recipient a 1 month free trial. If anyone is interested, I'll send you the coupon code and you'll be able to sign up.

thanks for the well-wishes. I'm incredibly on edge about the whole thing. Tomorrow I've got a job interview. I'm trying to line something up before leaving my current job.
I'll be so happy when the serenity portion of this transaction happens.

This venue has more amazing shows in the next couple months than we've had in this whole region in the last year. It's pretty depressing.

You know, I'm not much for live shows and music, but you're right....it's really fucking depressing!!
The stagnation and lack of variety we have around here is ridiculous.

You know, I think I'm a very nostalgic person. I like to remininisce about days gone by pretty often. Usually this would be the days I came home after school to watch Nickelodeon. I'm confident that I was able to experience the golden age of kid's programming. Nickelodeon at that time was really something special. So many shows were just so unique, and interesting, and...
