Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
New York City. Working for a major network in some aspect…not sure what yet though.
I was JUST thinking this to myself yesterday because I bet 5 years ago (as a junior in high school) I was thinking in 5 years from now, I’d be done with college, have a degree, and a great job, and a fiance or something. I haven’t been as...

Gilgamesh
Me: Hey so keep an eye out for my Gilgamesh book. I think I just accidentally sent it to your address on amazon, should be there sometime this week.
Mom: Omg there's such an awesome Gilgamesh Star Trek episode!
Me: Haha, I might just have to watch it then
Mom: I'll see if I can find it on hulu
Mom: The name of the episode is "Darmok" and it's a Star Trek The Next Generation episode--Season 5, episode 2.
Mom: I can't find it to watch online, dang it--it is one of my all-time favorite episodes of any TV series.
Mom: Capt. Picard tells an alien captain the story of Gilgamesh to try to help him understand our culture and to create some metaphors that he can use as language to communicate, since he can't understand the other captain, even with the Universal Translator, and realizes the other captain speaks only in metaphors that only have meaning on HIS planet.
Mom: Like, if we said, "jump the shark" nobody on another planet would have a clue what we were talking about
Mom: If you figure out how to watch it online, let me know. Or if you find a website where you can watch it if you pay a nominal fee, I will pay it so you can watch it. It's the best.
Mom: Gtg. Live long and prosper. :)

Hey Sweetheart,
I haven’t heard much from you lately. How about a little update from the Sam Houston campus? I would love to hear about your classes, where you are living, your job, your love, etc., etc. I miss you and love you. I hope you are happy. Please write me.

My One Card (access to my bldg) WORKS!!!
Oh, AND:
I dropped Intermediate-Spanish and added History, and now I don’t have to be at class till 12:30 on Tuesdays! :)
Things That Pissed Me Off Yesterday That Won't...
I got a phone charger!! Yay! No more leaving it to charge out in the car.
I figured out how to configure my computer for VPN, whatever that is. I can now access my school’s website, including Registration and Financial Aid (very important.)
I got my Parking Pass and now know where the University Police Dept. is to go back and dispute my (unfair) Parking Ticket.
Still in Dumb-Math, and...
Fail Update:
Attempted “frozen dinner” lunch, and accidentally knocked it out of my hands and onto the counter/floor. Yeah, this day’s been pretty much the worst.
Since I'm on a bit of a Rant-Roll:
I can hear the girl’s phone conversation in the next dorm over. Crystal Clear.
