life update

So, I was in the mood to update this in case anyone might read it who isn't up to date with what's going on in my life. Nothing amazing, just a summary of what's going on with me lately. Won't be too long because I want to go to bed.

Finished undergrad, got into graduate school in Aero Eng with NC State University
Got a position as a research assistant working in VA near NASA LaRC
Now over halfway through 2 year program to get Master's and hoping I will survive that long
Classes and research have been far more difficult than I ever imagined
Stress levels over the past year and change have been higher and longer than any time in my life
High stress led me to look for outlets, tried exercise, drinking, etc, eventually started cutting myself
Eventually landed in the hospital for stitches after a bad cut
Told parents about cutting habits and stopped doing it so far
Suffering from chronic fatigue and migraines that come around every 4-8 weeks
Hate my job and where my life is right now
Really regret the decision to go to graduate school, one of the worst of my life
Feel stressed and uncertain about what I want to do with my life, if anything

So, over a year's worth of happenings in a short list. Scintillating. Now I'm going to bed because I've had a migraine coming on for some time and sleep is the only thing that ever helps. Bye.

Position as a research assistant on the ORNL-UT reactor project in K-town kinda fell though, so I am working at Kroger again. At least I got a raise, but the pay still sucks. So, that is all I am doing this summer. Visited family up north last week, and by chance my aunt ended up in the ICU just before my brother and I flew up. She's diabetic, and her blood sugar was waaaay high. Her diabetes hadn't been diagnosed before, so who knows how long she's had it. Also in early August I'm going to the beach and staying in a condo owned by one of the other nurses my mom works with. Okay, that's all I'm doing this summer. Promise.


Also junk:












Oh, also happy 4th. almost forgot

I'm blowing off any responsibility today, so I'm enjoying my day. My roommate left to do something with his club, so I have peace. It's been nice (although strange) since he decided to see what it would be like if he didn't speak. It's been nice that I don't have to listen to him, though. I'm just sitting home listening to music, watching TV, and playing games all day. :)

How are you?

I never posted these on here before. They might be new for you, so if they are, great. If not, enjoy a blast from the past.

You are The Hermit


Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.


The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.


The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.


The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

Is Dave making a real entry? Not quite, didn't mean to get your hopes up there.

Semester's almost up here at school: 2 more days of classes and 4 exams to take. Worried about passing my analysis class, as Frankel is a huge dick on grading. Everything else is good, A's and B's with a little luck. (That ought to say something about his teaching ability, comparing my grade in his class to all my others). I should be able to go back home either the evening of the 14th or the 15th. It's been a long semester, and I think I'll be lazy and not work over Christmas.

For those who might have missed it before and still care (probably not many of you), I've had a new cellphone for a while, so let me know if you need my new number. It's got a camera, which is neat. I'm not one of those people who has to get one of those top-of-the-line fancy phones, so having a little camera is a step up.

I never know what to say in these things, and I'm bad at communicating expression. Probably why I haven't updated in months.

Can't wait to get home for a while. Miss the family and friends. Probably won't see any friends, but at least I'll have some time with the fam.

Today I downloaded Finnish symphonic metal from a Russian website that I was directed to by a Dutch guy I met on a website started by a Canadian girl. (lol, internets)

I've run out of things to say. Gute nacht.

You know you use the internet too much when you get annoyed at taking ten minutes to get from a flash with music to an mp3 of a Finnish folk song.

Siellä oli lystiä soiton jäläkeen
sain minä kerran sytkyyttee.
Kottiin ko mäntii ni ämmä se riitelj
ja Ieva jo alako nyyhkyytteek.
Minä sanon Ievalle mitäpä se haittaa
laskemma vielähi laiasta laitaa.
