Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galatica

In my effort to completely be annoying because it’s Monday and I HATE our weekly Monday meeting, the following transpired, thanks in part to ‘The Office’:
Co-worker: After this meeting, we are getting cupcakes
Me: Oooh, Beer Me a cupcake!
IT guy after his input means that the meeting will be longer: Relax guys, we’re almost done
Me: That’s [...]

Well, I received my offical university ID username and email address for my new graduate school.
It’s so surreal. Part of me daydreams every DAY about what excitement awaits me and the opportunity my assistantship will give me in the field I’ve been dying to break into for years.
Then my mind naturally drifts to R – [...]

I came, I saw, I CONQUERED!

Posted by: lifeisbusting on: April 26, 2007

I kicked ass and took names
I knocked tomorrow into next week
I nailed it
I shoved it where the sun don’t shine
(Insert cliche for rocking a 2 hour presentation in front of 20 year olds who didn’t what to be there but now LOVE me)
I’m spent.
*sigh* 2 more days.

And to top it off…

He was waiting for me when I got home with hoagies, something I’d been complaining/dreaming about, from his favorite spot in Evanston.
*sigh*

Insane in the membrane

Posted by: lifeisbusting on: April 24, 2007

A couple reasons I’m going insane this week:
- MASSIVE, MASSIVE, MASSIVE, crunch time at work
- I’m out of town on Thursday and Friday (no, not for fun)
- Had a serious discussion/”stop picking on me” talk with my co-worker who does not understand teamwork
- No way to get quarters, have to do laundry
- My beloved Macbook [...]

Change of plans

Posted by: lifeisbusting on: April 20, 2007

My top choice just called with an offer of admission complete with an assistantship in one of my TOP choices.
I am in awe and shock otherwise this post would be about how things do happen if only you let him – and work for it. (probably one will come in the future).
My entire degree will [...]

On Wisconsin!

Posted by: lifeisbusting on: April 19, 2007

Looks like I will be moving to Madison in August.
WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Quite possibly one of the coolest cities ever and the Educational Policy program is ranked 3rd in the country.
They want me.
ME.
The program is going to kick my butt, but it’ll set me up for a PhD, which I want to have as an option in my [...]

Virginia Tech

Posted by: lifeisbusting on: April 16, 2007

Words can’t describe the disgust and sick feeling in my stomach regarding the 22 students killed on Virginia Tech’s campus.
An institution of higher learning where thoughts are crafted and critically formed – the very symbol of rising above and learning to our responsibility in this world… is the scene of such a massacre.
What is happening [...]

Final Thoughts

Posted by: lifeisbusting on: April 13, 2007

Nuns are alive and well in the United States – I think I have seen 2,000 of them. It was nice to have a bunch in the elevator with me when I sneezed… they all said “God Bless You” – it was like a chorus of angels.
I think I could eat crab cake sandwiches for [...]

I write a lot when I’m lonely

Posted by: lifeisbusting on: April 11, 2007

Okay, in the last two hours as I have tried not to watch the shows I watch with BF on Wednesday (aka Date Night) I’ve been watching crap TV and realizing that I’m lonely.
This scares the crap out of me. Me, the woman who at 22 years old left all my friends and family to [...]
