So hey, I'm employed! Wooo! It pays to have friends. My buddy was able to get in a good word with his boss for me, so after a crapload of paperwork in human resources, I'm now the editor for the NCBSI, the national center for border security and immigration. It's one of the new departments on campus, I'll be editing research papers from the various...

So once again, every year it's the same. I stood alone in a strange yard. This time it was my future boss's house, we were invited for new years. As the clock struck midnight I stood out in the cold, happy couples were celebrating inside. And I stood there in the cold with a lit cigarette. My new years tradition, adding another nail to my...

Something happens from time to time, a strange phenomenon that floats around in the ether until it's time to drop. And I go from feeling mildly okay about my life to the realization that I'm really just a worthless nobody. I think about the things I've done, and the things I haven't done. There are always more that haven't been done aren't there? And it...

Is it true? Holy crap it is! I can finally type here! Wooo! I've been trying to blog and comment on people's stuff for a while now and it wasn't letting me. Anyway... so I got my final grades, both B's. I survived. So while I'm here, happy holidays and such. If you don't celebrate any of the December holidays, happy Wednesday! 
With the semester over I'm finally done having to read 600 pages worth of novels a week. So what did I end up doing yesterday? I bought a couple more books. As if the mountains of books in my room weren't tall enough already...
Side note. I don't think my cat will be sleeping under the covers any time soon. Not knowing he was there,...

Need to sleep cause I'm going Christmas shopping tomorrow but as usual the insomnia won't let me. I really hope I can find something for my mom, she's too hard to shop for. Otherwise, at least I'm done with school for the semester. Woo! Now to get back to writing and playing videogames! Or sitting around dreading next semester with a professor I don't like...

So apparently word around the campfire is that soon myself and three undergrads are going to be hired for that research project. So I should have a job soon! Woo! But sadly, I'm still not done with school work yet, so time to get back to work. I finished my Civil War literature paper on ptsd in the Civil War, now it's on to the

So last night I was working on one of the research papers I have due for class. When I woke up this morning I was surrounded by books, notebooks, and my laptop was sitting on my bed next to me. My books had taken up most of the bed. And the worst part is that I'm not even close to being finished. And oh yeah,...

Worst part of starting a paper is just getting that first sentence down on the page. I don't know why it's so hard, but it is. I'm trying to get the paper for my American lit. class started at least and I just can't get the damn first sentence to sound right. It's driving me up the fucking wall here.
Well shit. I just checked my university email account and found a message from my professor about the presentation I have to give today. It had a series of recommended articles I should use to make the presentation, which means I now have a shitload of reading to do before I can rework the presentation. Fuck! I had finished it earlier, I got to sit...

The controls to the heater are in her room, it finally started getting cold here, so when I opened the door to my room (stays closed to keep the cat locked up when I'm gone) it felt like stepping into a furnace. My poor cat was cooking up there all night. And there isn't a thing I can do about it because the thermostat is...

Almost done with another semester. Nothing left to read in my Thursday class, and just one book left in the Tuesday class. Of course, this just means the next couple weeks are going to be nothing but researching and writing my two 15 page papers. Good times... SIGH
