I consider myself a writer even though it seems I only write my inane thoughts here. But trust me, I have many more inane thoughts. I recently realized I don’t hate my commute between home and Madison as much as I thought I did. It used to be that it was an hour ride where I’d watch the same scenery fly past. However, this past summer, I’ve used the time to perfect my writing and … Continue reading
It’s official, I moved back to my parents house. Temporarily and there are no plans of moving into the basement. None yet. Why would there be? Peace Corps is just over a month away. I thought a majority of the battle would be packing all of my stuff up before hauling it home but now I know that it was only a very small portion of the battle. I had an apartment full of stuff … Continue reading
YouTube asked its users to partake in a project recently, I did. Ridley Scott is producing and Kevin MacDonald is directing a film that features only footage shot on July 24th, 2010. They reached out to YouTube users to lend a hand by uploading what they did that day. Here is my video:
I was supposed to start a new job yesterday. But I didn’t. Today I went to the doctor for the last bit of medical attention needed before I can gain medical clearance for the Peace Corps. A little over a month ago I submitted my resume for a ‘Front End Web Developer’ position here in town. I had a phone interview before the Massachusetts Saga and it went quite well–I was told over the phone … Continue reading
As promised, I will keep you updated on my Peace Corps application. Today I received an email containing some more documents to fill out. I was also told to expect some more in the mail. I have until February 17th to complete and return them. I also learned that there is no guarantee of an interview. This is a little disappointing but not surprising. I believe the actual wording is “I have received your application … Continue reading
Two weeks ago I posted something a little cryptic: I also am not sure what I want to do (well I do and I am working on it but something needs to fill that time). This post is to answer Amy, who asked “So what is it exactly that you want to do?” Today, I submitted my application for the Peace Corps. This is something that I have been considering since freshman year of college. … Continue reading
I had nothing to do today at work, or rather little to do. In lieu of finding boring tasks I went about the web searching for a place to go for Grad school. If this shocks you, do not be alarmed because you are not alone. I haven’t really been sure what I am going to do after I graduate. For a while it was Peace Corps as a flat out answer. In truth that … Continue reading
My mother always told me not to write anything online when I am angry. I responded, ‘But mother, then what is the internet for?’ Needless to say, I might not be in a good mood. We’ll start with one that everyone can relate to and then those who can’t or do not want to relate to the other can leave. Sound fair? Slow drivers. I can’t stand them. It seems like there are more out … Continue reading
