this has been a random couple of days.yesterday was preaty basic, did the whole class thing, sat in the sau trying to get people to sign up for a poker tourney. that night, i went to the gym with my friend dana, who reminded me about the debate that night between the college republicans and the anti-war group. so while she was at her areo-boxing class, i went down to the ritz to get some food.

i just realized that i haven't written in a long ass while. thats mostly because nothing much is going on with me besides school. since i got back from break i've been trying to spend time with my wide variety of friends. it's been a crazy week that i can't really remember what i've been doing hahaha. last weekend though was my first time out in rochester hitting up the bars. there were so

well christmas is over with. it seems like a shame that all the sales happen after christmas. it's almost like we should out smart the stores and exchange gifts after christmas, that way we can buy twice as much! it was a nice a quiet christmas this year though. ever since we've been getting older, it's been getting quieter and quieter. i remember when i was younger, we would drive up from

today i flew home...after two hours of sleep i got woken up by my ride calling me telling me that she was outside my apartment. luckily i slept in the clothes i was going to wear and had everything packed and by the door ready to go.i got to the airport really early (7 am for my 930 flight) so that i can just walk right in and not really wait in line. sure i was killing time for like an hour

2005-12-17T03:12:00.000-05:00

well i'm going to be flying home in a couple hours or so.... maybe i'll be at the airport a little bit too early but at least i won't miss my flight... unless i fall asleep at the gate..... but at least i'll be there on time and that is what matters. it's been quite a while since i've been in wisconsin but i have an accent to match. 3 weeks of being with my family... the longest i've spent with

so today, i read in the newspaper that bill clinton was coming to campus for a tour and a speech. since i had class at the time i didn't really think that i would be able to. about 15 minutes before class i decided to wander up to the building where he was speaking (which was down the hall from my department) to see who was around. i find my professor who i was taking the one o'clock class

I'll have to priority pack.

2005-10-12T07:58:00.000-04:00

Oh back to work this week. It has been very relaxing considering that on Monday everyone had the day off but me… so no one was around to bug me with meaningless tasks. And since this is a Friday off week, I get a nice long weekend before I start putting in 60-72 hours a week at work. But unfortunately I’m fighting a cold that I got while visiting

2005-10-10T12:48:00.000-04:00

this past weekend i drove home to rit for homecoming. (appropriate don't you think) because it was such a jammed packed weekend i'll highlight the fun.picking up shelby at rpi driving 70 mph on I-90 with shelby half out the car fixing my windshield wipper in the rain (she got a little wet).

I just realized how long it has been since I last wrote. Honestly I hate to say, that not much else is going on in my life. This small little Vermont town isn’t much on excitement; it does have its weird moments, but not the typical fun that I find when I’m back at school. For instance, I had last Friday off, so I decided to go do my errands. I’m

Last night I was getting ready for bed. My windows were open to let the cool almost fall air in. All of a sudden I heard something. I stopped moving, paid some more attention. I heard singing, love songs being bellowed from the street below. I walked towards my window to see if I can see the love sick person. Looking down, I see a man, dressed in leather pants and a leather coat, 50’s-ish

It’s such a Tuesday todayEach day of the week has its own personality that makes it what it is.Monday – Monday is a day of frantic confusion.

This weekend was so nice. I went out hiking in londonderry, vt at Lowell state park. Now I found this trail using http://www.vtstateparks.com. I took the address listed for the park, then using google, found directions to the park. Me and my friend headed out in the early afternoon of Saturday. It is about an hour away, so we chatted it up, girl talk of course, on the way out there. I found

So this past weekend I went home to rit. HA I know that it is weird that I call rit my home but since that is the currently the longest place I have been living in, it is the closest thing to home to me. That or my car… but that is another thing entirely. FridayAfter staying up to the wee hours of the morning the night before cleaning my room, I woke up early to … clean my room. Over the last

So yesterday was a friend of mine’s last day at work. He was the second to escape since I’ve been here. Luckily the company footed the bill for all the drinks and the food for his going away “party”. I think there is only one more person before me and the other rit student gets to go back to school. It’s going to be a little weird leaving Brattleboro.

So I finally have some time to blog about my last couple weekends. The first weekend in august: my mom and aunt came out to visit me in grand ole Brattleboro. My mom flew in from Wisconsin like a week before, and asked my aunt to drive her out so she can visit. Now, I thought for a long time on how I could entertain my mom and aunt in Vermont.

2005-08-12T19:59:00.000-04:00

I finished a Tale of Two Cities and i have to say that it was one of the best books i've ever read. It was a true love story with all the packed suspence and horror of the frech revolution. i highly recomend it to everyone that wants to read a great book.i started reading another book called "Faster" by James Gleick. It is a serious of chapters that explores our socieites obsession with speed

My first day of work. I get there, and they tell me that the plant is doing an emergency plan simulation where they make up a situation where someting goes wrong and teams of people solve a way to fix it. It was actually kinda of interesting because i could see the different databases, what the real time readouts (the electronic measurements for different parts of the plant) for the inside of

So i had to put on all the protective clothing and walk around this closed off area saying what was wrong or what i needed to do. thank god that there weren't

It was nice, and there were some really decent pieces. It is really cool how active this town is. Yesterday i drove to Keene, NH in the desperate hopes to find a mall.
