Back home

I took the day off from work to take a trip back in time. Well not really back in time, but back to my favoritest place, USC. Xtine started grad school this week and while she's in class I'm pretending to be a grad student myself. I'm coming to you live from the, um....where am I. This building was not here when I attended USC ten years ago. TEN? I digress. I'm at the Ronald Tudor Student center, lounging on a couch with my faux-fellow students. Some observations:

• Everyone has a laptop or tablet of some sort. I don't even think everyone had a cellphone when I attended school. Part of me wishes I has such technology in class, but a big part of me knows that way too much time would have been on Facebook, pinterest, playing angry birds, blogging and chatting....or maybe not since most of those things did not exist 10 years ago. There wasn't even wifi so I wouldn't even be able to go on napster. Haha
• Everyone looks so young. Which makes me wonder if I look so old.
• Matt Barkley is just as cute in person. I almost ran into him at Heritage Hall. I was too shy to ask for a picture even those he was just asked by someone else.
• Sound travels weird in here making it impossible to pinpoint exactly where the snoring is coming from.
• I think I NEED an iPad. I've been able to do some work while here, and play around on the internet.

Okay that's all for now. I might be back with some pictures if I can figure out how this iPad works...and if I could build up the nerve to be one of those iPad picture takers. Haha.

I know. I'm lame. I haven't really blogged even though I said I would. I do have several posts that are almost ready to go..I just need pictures! I could post them without the pictures, and update it later once I get the pictures edited, but lets me realistic. The chances of me going back and adding them are slim to NOT GONNA HAPPEN. So at some point this week I am going to sit down and start getting on that ish. really. i swear. I am!

Wanting: ice cream. Ice cream will make my tummy feel better right? Ice cream always makes things better ;)
Needing: more patience with people who say "supposably"

** as always, I am at work. I'm taking a break from the wonderful world of financial engineering to say 'ello!

August Goals

Hello August. Since its the first, I've decided to get back into the monthly goals. It was good setting monthly goals and seeing a progression at the end of the month, even if I didn't end up fulfilling everything on the list. So here goes...

• Clean up that little corner
• Blog several times a week
• Complete a crafty project
• Take more pictures
• Visit someplace new
• Exercise at least 3 times a week (booo. I'm not looking forward to that one)

I figure make this month's list fairly easy and breezy, well except for the exercise part. I want to enjoy the rest of my summer and the fact that the end of the busy season at work is near. woohoo!
