Confession

I really like discrete time Markov chains.

Suckage

The average GRE scores for current students at Caltech are 651 Verbal, 763 Quantitative.

Balls.

First day of my life

I stole this from some bitch's blog, but I love this song regardless.

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Here's to graduation, Vail, and making it work.

I'm proud to be an American

Lockbox

• I am no longer applying to Stanford. I'm vastly underqualified for their product design program.
  
• My backup school is my alma mater, and that is very scary for me. 
  
• Senior design sucks.
• I love my new apple red Converse.
• James went as the guy from No Country for Old Men. We had a little drama finding a jean jacket. 

Halloween

First of all, let's bring to everyone's attention this FACT. In terms of the ranking system I'm looking at right now, Texas Tech isn't even ranked. (But to be honest, Texas is my backup school, so UT isn't exactly #1.) Regardless, Saturday night was devastating. 

I'm sick

And I have a 20+ hour controls assignment due tomorrow, but since I made that class pass/fail, I'm updating my blag instead.

So I'm redonkulously sick. I think I have food poisoning. Yesterday I was just absolutely miserable, and that's as far as I'm going with details. I hardly got out of bed the entire day. My muscles were just so sore I could barely move. James made me soup and brought me Pepto and John got me Gatorade. I love my boys. Except when James doesn't know how to react when girls puke. Yes, I have a really week immune system. No, don't just stand there and stare at me like I'm a freak of nature. I need love and attention!!

Oh, and I ordered $36 of Chinese food tonight but only ate half a bowl of hot and sour soup. Hopefully that'll stay down. That'll be the first food I've actually absorbed in 48 hours!! Although, between the ab workout of puking and all the starvation / accidental bulimia, I've totally lost a lot of weight. I'm pretty much sexy to the max. 

Oh, and IT CAME IN.

James is a man's man

me: wanna go fabric shopping tomorrow?

James: no, i'll be busy eating red meat and having sex with women

I hate this weather

It's too damn cold. I have that stupid/incredibly sexy cold sore coming on again. And I have to wear pants and even a jacket. I miss summer. Note to self: move to California.

LOVELOVELOVE THIS

and this about Haley Smith.

All this for $25 in electronics

"No, I'm sorry but I can't roll my window up."

Sexy giant squid

I'm going to start sewing this weekend.

Halloween costume ideas?

"Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."

I'm a mouse, duh!

I kind of want to go as a mouse... or a sexy engineer. 

Arguments

This is not the way they should go:

"I'm very upset at what you said last week, and I can't just drop it, so I needed to tell you now."

"I was very rude, I know, and I'll try harder to keep my mouth shut. However, I'm very upset about something that happened 4 months ago and two things that happened 3 months ago."

"Okay, but why are you just telling me now?"

"Because you're the most unstable person I know."

INFINITE MACBOOKS

Credit to Mark for providing the second laptop. Credit to me for fixing his laptop. Credit to James for telling me how to fix his laptop.

Morning routine

Mail goggles

Google understands that sometimes even I don't know what's best for myself.

If only they could implement that on my phone. Even inebriated, I'm good at spelling, just not content

Get your horns up

I can't find a better quality video. The ones available online through this site don't support YouTube. This is my favorite in a series of advertisements narrated by Walter Cronkite. 

This video gives me chills every time I see it. And it's guaranteed the crowd goes absolutely wild. I'm going to miss this school. 

Get your bachelor's degree, get your master's, or get your Ph.D. But most of all, get your horns up! What starts here changes the world. 

Stream of conscious

The economy sucks. I need a job. But I don't want to apply for backup jobs. My car got broken into. We beat Mizzou. Some people are totally lame and it's even lamer when they don't realize it. Dad should push back the turkey dinner until Friday. We all got crabs today. I need more than emissivity tables. I can be spontaneous! 

RED RIVER SHOOTOUT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!

Worst insult ever

After my recent terribly unrehearsed senior design presentation, although we totally pwned all the other teams, my TA still said "Well, it wasn't great, but your presentation and prose were better than Sarah Palin."

EDIT: Although these presentations are open to the public, I'm not going to risk violating my NDA by posting it.
