anxiety update, games, and symposium

Thanks to those of you who commented on my last entry, since it was on a more personal and serious note. I’m feeling much better and went back today for another visit with the doctor. She agrees that going the more natural route with food is a good idea, and also pointed out [...]

Django and pirates

Wow, no updates for a week, but that’s only because there’s been nothing to update about. I’m back at Lexmark for the summer, and so far I’ve been working with a Rails project I’ve worked on in the other times at Lexmark, and initially wrote during my first co-op there. I’ve also been [...]

first day of another co-op at Lexmark

My first day back at Lexmark went well, but that didn’t stop me from being anxious this morning and anxious now. I’m freaked out about the idea of so much of my free time being cut out. These past two weeks of freedom have been wonderful, and I worry I won’t get much [...]

Harry Potter excitement and anxiety

Nothing much happens when you’ve not got work or class to attend. I’ve been hanging around my apartment each day, reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix like mad and occasionally doing the dishes. I can have a completely empty sink then make one meal, and it’s full again; dishes are [...]

work work work and a cable

Wow, when it rains, it pours. I go from having my nice normal job at Lexmark and the probability of working again at a lab on campus next semester, where I always work, and then suddenly…: A professor, Dr. T, emails me from UK, saying that my boss at the lab where I usually work [...]

shopping and Scruffy

I’m halfway dozing on the couch with Todd’s Powerbook in my lap while he and the guys play Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfare. I made dinner tonight involving Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice, Mom’s green beans, and baked paprika-parmesan chicken. The chicken turned out all right, and Todd liked it, but he [...]

work and corn on the cob

My first day back at Lexmark yesterday went fine. I spent most of it listening to others talk, running around, and getting stuff set up, such as my ID card and my computer. I still can’t do much because I’m not fully in the system yet, but hopefully that’ll be cleared up by [...]

first day at Lexmark

I just got back from having dinner with Scott. We just went to Subway and spent probably a total of twenty minutes together, but it was still nice to see him. I’ll have to corner the guy sometime when he’s not busy and I’m not working. My first day of work went well. [...]
