PERFECT FIFTH. The most solid of all of the
intervals -- you serve as a foundation upon
which everyone else builds themselves. You
believe in simple truths, and think most of
that "emanipation of the dissonance"
talk should be taken with a pillar of salt.
Beloved by Medieval and early 20th century
composers, you should avoid walking in the same
cardinal direction as any of your like-minded
friends. We wouldn't want any parallel fifths,
you know...
What musical interval are you?

Neglect
I DID IT!!!
Mark this day. It is the day I finished writing my personal statement for graduate school. I am very proud of myself, that is that I finished it. Is it a piece of crapola....yes I think so. But who cares about that...it is done.
I am sorry that I have been neglectful of my updating here. The conference was a trip. I learned a couple of little things, but I am superbly impressed with our operation. Anyways, last week I spent writing a huge mofo of a report on it. I guess the writing of the report massaged me into writing my personal statement. Last friday I hung out with some new friends...in a very very cold apartment watching the big lebowski. then saturday, in a feat of female wonderment, beckie and i constructed her impressive tv stand. Then we made cookies and watched crazy halloweenish sort of movies. The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra....I sleep now!!!! muuuuuaaahhahahaha!!!
I am debating whether or not to go up to dickinson two weekends from now...i miss everyone terribly but i can't just give up a perfectly good weekend of studying...especially since i haven't studied...at all!!! Talk about me turning into a procrastinator. W-T-F, duuude....W-T-F???
Anyways work time is almost over...I'm getting out of here...to only get wet as i go to my car.

October?!?!?!
It can't be October?!?!?! I guess it is then. Time keeps slipping by. Ugh.
Next week is Ohio-conference time. I can't wait to go, but then again I feel weird going. I know that athena and i will have a good go of it. Should be interesting to see how all these other math labs are set up, see if we really are a rarity in the way we run the lab.
I can't bring myself to write my personal statement. I have recently had it stuck in my head to screw grad school, i lack all self-confidence in getting in. Every time I think about writing my personal statement my head goes-> wouldn't it just be more logical to take the praxis, spend less money and be in a higher paying job in under a year? It hit me hard, two days ago when the gre moved up the registration date for the subject tests. I nearly broke down over whether or not to sign up again to take a test that i know will rape my confidence for the next 2 or 3 months. In the end I pulled out my credit card and registered for the test. I think I am a masochist. No one in their right mind would take that test more than once. I guess that means I'll have to write this personal statement very soon. Maybe this weekend?? I doubt it. I'm the biggest procrastinator ever.
Anyways that is my life. Me trying to avoid the big stuff. Nothing else really going on. catch you all later.

ALIVE!
I just figured I would write a little something. Yes, my students did not eat me alive. I haven't taught a class in about a year or so...it's kinda like riding a bike. I have to remember how to remember all the info I'm going to teach in one class period, without looking at my notes every five seconds. But it is getting easier. Only 28 more classes to go!!!
Ummm my brain won't let me sit still...so I can't figure out what else to write, so I'm going to go. ttyl.

Bum-ba-dum-dum DUM!!!!
Friday and Saturday were wonderful. Getting to have Suzy and Cryssy come stay over was amazing. Okay I admit it, I didn't do very well in the whole planning activities department but we made up for it. Friday night we went to the Fox and the Hound. That was fun...and weird. Fancy our waiter being Danny *now it's just Dan* who I went to elementary school with. It definitely took me a little while to realize is was him. When I finally did get up the courage to ask him-"What school did..." (that was all I got out before he said)- "Did we go to the same grammer school together? Yes." Then that just made things feel awkward. But we made it through. We went to Blockbuster to pick up a couple of movies- Circle of Friends and Center Stage. Funny- Cryssy and I saw Circle of Friends a long time ago...and when we watched we both realized that we definitely didn't understand what the heck was really going on. My parents surprised me with a little ice cream cake. Yum! And guess who called me. This guy who I was tutoring way back in June. I was just so surprised. We caught up a little bit *I didn't want to stay on the phone too long, since I had guests* but I might call him tomorrow to get more details and tell him about my foray into teaching *yikes*. What was really funny I guess (or maybe it's cause my social life is so lacking), is the my parents think he really does like me in the more than we are friends, you helped me out a while back sort of way. I just don't think that is the deal. My father even said it sounds like he is lonely. (yes it's even scarier when your parents talk to you about stuff like that.) But he just can't be lonely and that is the way it is in my head for the moment. Saturday we hung out, listened to my father's sch-piel about the Hurricane and then decided to go to Roosevelt and walk around the park there. We then got supremely hungry and stopped at Applebee's. By the time we got home, it was primarily time for them to leave. I get sad when people leave. ::sigh::
Tomorrow is the big day. I'm nervous, anxious, I probably won't get any sleep no matter how early I try to go to bed. At least I am done with work at 4 in the afternoon, so I'll be home by 5....that means if I'm feeling adventurous I could go out for a walk, or some exercise or something. Mom will hopefully be going in for the second dose this week. Selenium Tuesday, Chemo Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed. Yesterday and today the "shedding" as I will call it began. But I managed to get her out to Lids to buy a nondescript black fitted baseball cap, along with a brown Nike cap. Hurray for buy 1 get the second half off deal.
I think I need to find some food.

Hot shizzle!!
One week from right now (exact timing is key), I will be standing in front of my first college class, telling them I won't take no crap from nobody. So exciting.
another friday night...
and I realize how much I miss going to Market Cross with Suzer, Cryssy, and "The Boys", as we like to call them. The place was just so welcoming. I wouldn't dare go out any place here without someone else.
But alack, everyone else has gone out. Josh and Rusty are going out. Beckie, James, Scott, and V. Steve are all out to-I'm supposing-the NB bars. Saving grace, I got to meet up with Rusty. We went out to Dunkin' Donuts. Just spent hours talking. It was so easy. I love Rusty's creative juices and I just wish I had an ounce of it. Hopefully we'll get to hang out more often. He and I just are on the same wavelength of liking to learn about things, although us both in different areas.
Yesterday was the first day in 3 weeks I went to have fast food for dinner. Okay so I had some sushi and a Chick-Fil-A sandwich. Yes I know it's weird, but it used to be so delicious. Damn the Chick-Fil-A went right through me. I guess that means no more fast food for me.
oh just ignore all that crap above, i'm in a mood. one that likes to question the reason why things happen the way they do...
But I am happy that Suzer and Cryssy can come down next friday (barring illness). I'll feel better going to the fox and the hound with them. But I need to figure out something fun to do for saturday morning/afternoon.

Bored
Let's just say work is totally uneventful. No pressures, no tasks to complete. Just waiting for all the stuff to land in my lap in a weeks time.
I picked up the Jack's Mannequin cd yesterday, along with the second book of the dragon series I am reading. The book is called "Eldest". I unfortunately can't read it at the moment cause I'm smack in the middle of the chronicles of narnia. I've learned a long time ago that if I try to read more than one book at a time, I just throroughly confuse myself. Anyways, the cd is great. I can't quite put my finger on what it sounds like. It's definitely not Something Corporate, although I could see maybe one or two songs working for them. It isn't like Coldplay rock, but it has some of the softness of it. Ugh, I guess this is why no one has hired me to write music reviews. I'd be the person who said, I liked it, you go out and buy it to find out for yourself. The one song I really enjoy is "I'm Ready"
[And today was a day just like any other]
I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge
Unraveling with every word
With every word you say, make me believe
That I won't feel your tires on the street
As I'm finding the words... you're getting away
I come undone, oh yes, I do
Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you
And every word you say, say something sweet
Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth
As I'm finding the words... you're getting away
Well I'm ready, I'm ready to drop
Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop
I'm ready so don't stop, Keep pushing
I'm ready to fall, oh, I'm ready
I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call
I am aware, I've been misled
I disconnect my heart, my head
Don't wanna recognize when things go bad
The things that you'll accept
Except that I am finding the words... to say
I'm ready, I'm ready to drop
Oh oh oh oh oh, I'm ready
I'm ready so don't stop
I'm ready so don't stop
[I wake up to find it's another
Four aspirin morning, and I dive in
I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday.
When did society decide that we had to change
And wash a tee shirt after every individual use:
If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it.
I take the stairs to the car
And there's fog on the windows.
(And I'm Fighting the words...)
I need caffeine in my blood stream,
I take caffeine in the blood stream.
I grip the wheel and all at once I realize:
(And you're getting away...)
My life has become a boring pop song
And everyone's singing along.]
Well, I'm ready, to drop, well, I'm ready
I'm ready so don't stop, oh
Well, keep pushing, I'm ready to fall
Well, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't call
I'm ready so don't call, oh... oh... oh...
It is just a good song, too bad I don't know how to get music to play on my livejournal page. Not that it matters or anything.
Knitting is good- I have about a foot of my scarf completed, only like 20 more repetitions left to before the scarf is done. Looks halfway decent if I do say so myself.
Everyone should be happy. I have actually started filling out the online graduate school application forms. Yeah I haven't written up a personal statment, but half the battle is actually writing your name on the forms. I am a little hesistant on how I should go about contacting the professors to ask them to write my letters of recommendation. I obviously need to do it before I send in the forms but...I don't know if I should email them, call, send a note in the mail. I think emailing may be the quickest. But I don't know if that shows how serious you are.
Probably should go fill more of them out then.
