Total ripoff

So...you know how a few blog posts ago I was lamenting the fact that I really wanted a cute artsy inspirational blog and just couldn't get it? You know how I said that the only reason why I was starting a blog was because I was inspired by some cute artsy ones? Well, I'm gonna start having one of those blogs god damnit! And I'm totally ripping off this girl's: A Little Diggity by Steph Turmelle. It's on blogspot, you can find it if you want. I'm not linking to it because the only reason why I know about it is because we did one group project together and she always links to it in her gchat profile and yeah, I'm sort of a stalker that way. Sort of. And getting back to the not linking to it portion--I once heard that if you link to someone else's blog they are notified. And then she would know I'm a creepy blog stalker. In summation: I'm all about giving credit where credit is due, but not to the point that some random girl in my English summer class thinks I'm stalking her. Even though I am. Well, just her cool blog.

ANYWAYS

If you didn't go in search of her blog, the gist of it is this: she created a list of things she wants to do in her life and then she's doing them. Anything from making good soup to learning how to snowboard. Though this is the main purpose of her blog, it won't be for mine. I just think that there is something lathargic about checking things off of your bucket list.

Now, I'm supposed to be doing Matlab, but I'm taking a *quick* break so I'm not actually going to write out a whole list, just two things to get started:

#1. Write (and frequently add-to) a list of things I want to do in my life
#2. Document things I'm greatful for (also ongoing) as I'm really good at complaing about my pretty cool life.

So uh....

Sortakinda forgot I had this thing. So uh, I'm back on here I guess.

Things I've done:

Chose the University of Utah for grad school.
Graduated magna cum laude.
Drove out to Utah with him.
Spent the summer doing nothing...and it was glorious.
Started grad school.

Books I've read:

Reading Lolita in Terhan
Love Medicine
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Time Traveler's Wife
The Girl who Played with Fire

***Graduate school is hard, NYT best-sellers are easy-do the math***

Other:
Parents got a dog.
Going to his house for Christmas (read: eek!)
Gained a zillion pounds.

Anyways, school's great. Love it. Could take or leave being back home. Need to lose weight.

Will update more

Leaving. On a jet plane. Fact.

Soooo, I'm about to start studying for my last test EVER at Northeastern, but I'm not leaving Boston until May 30th. Therefore, I'm compiling a list of things to do in the area. In general, they're going to be things that I could only do in Boston, however, some might not be. This will be edited frequently.

#1 Walk the entire freedom trail
#2 Harpoon Brewery
#3 Sam Adams Brewery
#4 Go to the top of the Prudential Center
#5 Go to the arboretum
#6 Go to Salem <<---not terribly important

Well, that's it so far. Suggestions welcome.

The end is near

It's 7:13 am on a Tuesday. I have one test today, one tomorrow, and one the next. I have a paper that needs some tweaking by Friday. I have another shift at work on Thursday. Normally, I would be caving in a situation such as this, but no. Not this time. This is the last time I'll ever have to do anything like this. The end is near. I'm almost done.

Woe is me....

You know, I started this blog because I was inspired.

Inspired by all those artsy-type blogs that have cool/random/quirky pictures from the web or the author's own collection. That contain their thoughts, only in a poetic variety. Have unique and funky backgrounds. In a word, artsy.

So, I thought to myself. I'll start myself a blog. I have things to say and show the world. I can be artsy. But no, my blog sucks. I guess I don't mind it too too much, but it still lacks that "thing" that will make people want to read it after they stumble upon it.

Boo, scientist through and through.
