still & change

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

“still” in both senses of the word. still here. very still. still hearing stories- of horror and heroism. and realizing that my school will no longer be known mostly for its football. our msa’s faculty sponsor- brother Saad, was on the 3rd floor of norris. he got the email, […]

endings

Friday, April 27th, 2007

30+ endings just last week.  several more of varying natures this past week.  so many people that i know and love will be ending their last semester at tech in just a couple weeks.  i don’t like endings.  i’ve been an emotional sap before during endings- middle school, governor’s school, high school.  but i think […]

still on that country mission

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

first, i’d like to tack an after-the-fact disclaimer on my last post: i get really cynical sometimes.  and i dont mean for it to affect others.  please dont take my posts personally.
now.  i’m still on a country music mission.  i’d like to announce that 2 more people have “seen the light” so to speak.  that […]

the shootings

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

it’s a conspiracy

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

(to get me into grad school).  the first professor i just brushed off as being a little loopy.  my advisor i kinda joked with about it and i figured well, im a goody two shoes and he picked up on that.  but this guy?  this guy doesn’t even directly grade our work; he has 4 […]
