I’m winding down for the night, but I have to get all my notes ready to go for the extreme study session that awaits me tomorrow. I also have to wake up too early in the morning to attend a learning lab at 8am. I guess I should be grateful that it isn’t a clinical [...]

I’m going to wrap up my late night cram session at four to get adequate rest for my exam at one.
I still haven’t gotten my hair cut.
I did my taxes today which added unnecessary stress to mix with the need to study. I owe for the independent contractor work I did last year, but the [...]

Traffic in the morning with a slight drizzle will literally put a damper on my day. I don’t understand why Texan drivers are so overcautious when the roads are damp. Stack on the freeway congestion, and the combination just makes an unnecessary headache.

The Sparta show ROCKED. They opened with Breaking The Broken and closed with a two-song encore ending on Assemble The Empire. Other songs I recall were (in no particular order): Air, Echodyne Harmonic, Cut Your Ribbon, Rx Coup, While Oceana Sleeps, Glasshouse [...]
