Well....

I slept from 9 until 2:30, woke briefly then went back to sleep until my alarm went off at 5:30. However,
I'm sick now. Boooooo! All I want to do is sleep all day and night.

De La Noche

[checking out the clock]

10:31 PM Finally bed time!

12:20 AM

2:11 AM

3:58 AM Fine, I give up. I'm awake.

This sh!t has got to stop. The last three nights have all been like this or worse. I made sure not to take a nap today and will be taking a sleep aid shortly in the hope that I can actually get more than 3 hours of sleep tonight.

So Flippin' Tired

Here is the picture of my world.

Sigh

Can't win for trying. Went and had my taxes done today. For the first time in many, many years, I owe money to both the federal and state. Apparently I made 10,000 more than the year before (go figure) and didn't give the government enough along the way. The funny thing is, even with this increase last year, I still feel really poor. On the bright side, I do have a roof over my head and food in my belly - maybe too much of the latter...
Not what I have been thinking about BTW. Will get to that later.

Sunday

I'll let you in on it later.

Rejection (1)

Dear M________,

We have concluded our review of applications for the Doctoral Media Studies program at The University of Texas at Austin. We regret that we are unable to offer you admission for Fall 2009.

The applicants for our program were exceptionally competitive this year, with over 120 applications for 8 spaces, resulting in many well-qualified applicants being turned away. Our decisions are the result of an extensive review of all the applications and supporting materials, assessing qualifications as well as the fit for our program.

We wish you well in your future pursuits. Thank you again for your interest in our program.

Sincerely,


Joseph Straubhaar
Amon G. Carter, Sr. Centennial Professor of Communications
Graduate Adviser

Damn it - Guess I'm not moving to Texas afterall

How I Am Feeling About School Right Now

I'm the goldfish.

We Interupt This Program...

Just finished a response paper for my seminar class. Wanted to get more grading done for the classes I am teaching and won't take long to grade but I don't wanna.

I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna!

Okay, I feel better. And since I get more grading tomorrow, I will now buckle down and finish the damn papers tonight before going to bed.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

My New Obsession

Beautiful free wallpaper to download. Thanks for showing me this website brother. I love it.

Stuck in My Head

"Say it Ain't So"

I finally figured out why too. Ms. S, the Baker and I played this song in Rock Band when I went to visit them in Vegas this past summer. I am really missing Ms. S and wish I could go hang out with her. That was a great vacation. Good times.

This made me giggle

Super busy working on thesis, will write a real post once I have caught up and am back on schedule.

Oh, and Happy B-day to T3!

Oye

I have had a headache since 1 this afternoon. Mommy! Make it go away.

Drivin'

So I have been seeing a lot of drivers lately that haven't been staying in their lane. At first I always think, "Is that person drunk?"

As it turns out, every time a pass the car weaving in the lane, I see this:
Maybe there should be a mandatory test after a certain age... Stay in your lane!
