Funny how after months of inactivity, I suddenly have so much to write in just two weeks! Life does that, though. My problems with the Mazda were getting on my nerves so badly that I decided to borrow the money for a down payment from my folks and buy a new Volkswagen Jetta about a [...]

Well, I’m sitting here at work, my brain totally fried with 2 1/2 hours to go, and I thought to myself, “Self, why don’t you go and see how long it’s been since you updated your diary?” So I did, and much to my dismay, it has been yet another month of no writing activity! [...]

Oh, man… how do you even apologize for not writing in over 3 months? I don’t have even the limpest of excuses. I mean, I was out of contact for three weeks while I went to Italy at the end of July/beginning of August, but yikes! So much on which to catch up my reading [...]

There’s something very difficult about saying goodbye. I’ve always been terrible at it, and I always put it off as long as absolutely possible. At some point, you just can’t avoid it any longer, though. I just wish I didn’t get so emotional about it. I end up crying every year, it seems, and this [...]

Well, I just finished the last final of my undergraduate career. I wouldn’t say it went terrific, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t bomb it. Surprisingly, I think I may pull an A in there (Science and Civilization in Islam). Now all I have to do is finish my thesis. The good news is, my [...]

Kind of an odd time to be writing a diary entry, but then again, this is me, after all. It just occurred to me as I was getting ready for bed that I never gave you, my faithful reading public, an update on the events of the last two entries. After waiting on pins and [...]
