Tonight's Theme: Random Thoughts

So today i got to speak in front of dr. gates (the past director of the CIA and TAMU's current president). Crazy! it was a 20 min presentation. Also his whole advisory board (like 50 people) was there and I was talking about a satellite and undergrads and stuff. for as much work as this job it, it's kinda cool.

'Life is a constant oscillation between the sharp horns of dilemmas.' - H. L. Mencken ....Recently I learned I was indecisive...I came to this conclusion during a personality test when one of the questions was 'do you make decisions quickly or think about it?' After 5 min of thinking about it....I realized I was indecisive. Another sign is the fact that I have yet to go to a restaurant and know what I want when I get there....Funny how decisive I am about guys, but for easy things like food I gotta think for hours!

In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.
  - John Adams - and that was a president....right?

linds comes tomorrow...yea!

I get to visit my grandpa next week. cool!

tonight was my last night of ccd for the year...awww :( one of my kids gave me a rose though. Cute!

Bottom Line: um life is cool...n stuff.

so april 12th i had a huge review for aggiesat in front of the air force and it lasted 10 hours long with only 2 10 min breaks - no kidding!

 

Linds is coming this week to visit  - i'm way excited!

 

I went grape stomping over the weekend...it was soooooooooo much fun! we sucked and got juice everywhere but it was amazing!

 

yup.

So my birthday was fun and spring break was awesome and since then i've been crazy busy with aggiesat - literally...i've been working 60-80 hr weeks. I read grissom novels and think...no way would a lawyer work that much and more...impossible! But actually it's surprisingly not that hard. Tiring yes....

hmmm so i finished the slippers. yup. i can knit now. don't all be jealous. thanks manda and kim.

it's crazy to think how life can be so upside down then something big happens to a friend and you realize how minimal your 'big' upset was.

I saw this the other day and loved this quote:        'Just when a catapiller thinks life is over, it becomes a butterfly'

Here's my next favorite quote of today:     'Of the thirty-six ways of avoiding disaster, running away is the best.'...haha...i suck at running. too bad.

 

ok that's all. bye!

 

 

Yo! I don't know why I put that...huh. So I had a huge test this week and was super busy, up until yesterday. Get this...I got home at about 4pm, took a nap, or so I thought. Next thing I know it's 10am. That's an 18 hr nap! I've never done that before! Shocking....just shocking. (that's like 2 great sleeps and 3 decent sleeps and probably the total sleep time i've gotten this week...otherwise).

ok that's all. yea it's spring break! (too bad i'm a grad student and have like 4 million things to do since we don't really get spring break). no worries though....spring break is one big party...or it will be on st patty's day at my house!

ok out to the hot tub. i'm gonna watch 'waiting'...hope it's good!

Enjoy the first Tuesday of the month...there are only 12 of them in a year! - words of wisdom from a friend....

Oh my gosh this is funny! It's sooo unbelieveably dumb and you'll get 1/2 way through and be like no way am i watching this...but it's amazing. watch all 3 and you'll totally get it:

This really describes how my life has been this week/month:

Wake up,ninty miles an hour
Take the world's fastest shower
Coffee black,microwave it
I'm at at my best caffeinated
Out the door,pick up the pace
I'm here,I'm there,I'm everyplace

That's how it goes
A day in my life
I'm on my toes
From morning to night
Livin' like this
Some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied,manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic

I'm not bulit for relaxing
I get bored without some action
One speed is all I know
Seize the day,yeah that's my motto
Maybe someday,I'll slow down
Maybe someday,but for now

That's how it goes
A day in my life
I'm on my toes
From morning to night
Livin' like this
Some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied,manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic

Things I haven't done
Keep me on the run
But time sure does fly
When you're having so much fun

That's how it goes
A day in my life
I'm on my toes
From morning to night
Livin' like this
Some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied,manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic

Sometimes I wish it wasn't that way...but that only seems to be at the peak of the frenzy. Most of the time I like being busy. (Today's the peak. I was in san antonio this morning,

1. left at 5:30am,


2. got home, showered etc,


3. bought dishwasher at lowes (my old one broke)


4. had class at 930,


5. gave a presentatino on aggiesat to a multi-multi-millionaire,


6. missed my second class b/c of the meeting,


7. didn't turn in the homework for that class either but got an extension,


8. then went to a meeting with the dept head to discuss disciplinary action for someone on the team (not me),


9. went to turn in a bunch of docs for aggiesat,


10. have meeting with person in trouble now (it's 330)


11. supposed to be buying $600 backup comp system for aggiesat


12. then have a meeting with the battalion - a&m's newspaper to discuss aggiesat and take pics


13. meeting with business leads to discuss aggiesat policy


14. go pick up dishwasher, bring it home, install it,


15. do homework due today later


16. oh yea, get to to do list (none of this is on it). It's extremely long I assure you


17. wake up tomorrow to be on campus by 6am to drive to NASA for an all day meeting

i really like aggiesat and glad i'm involved...but man, there's too much to do right now. i'm restructuring everything so next week there will be more people helping me with my to do list but this week i have to set that up. oh and the worst part of everything is that i can't go home and watch all my fav shows and unwind like i normally do because of hte stupid olympics. as if i'd watch that....
