I’ll Be Write Back

In the spring of 1995, I took the writing portion of the now defunct TAAS (Texas Assessment of Academic Skills) test.  I was a nerdy 4th grader who loved almost everything about school.  Except writing.  I hated writing.  Couldn’t stand it.  But my teacher told me that I wrote well.  She told me I should [...]

Final Exams Alarming for Some Students

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007, 8:21 am. Room 103, O&M Building, Texas A&M Campus, College Station, TX, U.S.A., North America, Earth.
There I sat, calmly working through one of my very last final exams as an undergraduate student. Short answer #2 down, 3 more to go, then my essay – BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE – the freaking fire [...]

Seniordom…

My last final is in a little over an hour. Whoop. I think. I’m ready for classes to be over. But I’m not really ready for the end of the semester. The semester has been bizzare, tons of ups and downs, and although I’m ready for a break, I’m not really sure how I feel [...]

The Quest for Truth

I read a passage today from Phaedo, by Plato, for one of my philosophy classes, and it really sparked my mind, which I believe is the entire purpose of philosophy. The quote is from Socrates, a “most excellent historical figure” (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure!!), as he is addressing questions about his optimism concerning death.
“And [...]

Junior Year begins!

School is upon us! My how time flies when you are freakin busy! The last few weeks have been very, very tiring, but so incredibly awesome! Moving in turned out to be tough, due to the plethora of problems with our house, especially the sewage backup that overflowed into our bathroom and soaked into the [...]

Visiting Aggieland!

Ah… Good ol’ Aggieland! I love it! It is so great to be back here, even for just a few days. I am at Wesley right now (where else would I be?!) waiting for Robert so I can stay at his place tonight. I stayed at Adan’s last night, and [...]

Gonna be a JUUUUNIOR!

Dang…. I am a JUNIOR!!! It is unbelievable how time flies, especially here in college… It’s been a while since I posted to my cheese, so I’d like to take this opportunity to reflect on this last year and look ahead to this summer and the rest of my future.
Last fall turned out kinda badly, [...]

Burned Out

Well, it’s been awhile.
I am going through one of the most stressful times of my life right now. I am just totally burned out. I just don’t seem to care about much lately. And it’s really eating at me. I think I can trace it all back to my knee injury a little over a [...]

Astros in the Playoffs! Woohooo!

Wowsers… what a week!
I have been waay too busy with school lately… I have decided that I am not a fan of homework. At all. So as I try to get caught up on hw and study for my plethora of tests this week (cool word usage there, eh?), I just need to relax and [...]

Still Puking….

PLLUUUEEEEEGH! I have definitely had enough of that sound this past week… yeah, I puked again today. All I want to know is “what the crap is wrong with me!!?” Personally, I think it is mental. It only happens right before I go to my ENGR 221 class, which is about as much fun as [...]
