Checking In

Hello half assed internet pals!
What's going on in your lives?

I have been living the super spread thin student life for a few weeks without much end in sight.
Got picked for this cool project thing with some cool people, and midterms are coming up, and making a Dining Guide for the college newspaper, and watching too much Breaking Bad, and working on a bonafide self released music thingy, and making infographics for infographic class, and skyping mom and a cool ex-girlfriend, and eating too much pizza, and stuff.

Totally into life right now, but also would be totally into working on less things all at once.

Love
LP

  • I'll check in too:

    My legs are KILLING ME cause I have a personal trainer now. I'm actually trying to spend MORE time online. I added a UHX bookmark to the first page of my iPhone apps. Trying to eliminate the habit of only being online 9 to 5. Excited for fall/winter. Excited to make some internet videos. Excited about working on getting more airline miles and visiting friends in LA. Maybe taking a trip to Kansas City next year, cause who wouldn't want to visit Kansas City!?!?
  • Good work on the PT Mikey! I had one once for a summer and it was great, I've never looked better or felt better. Of course, I was 20 years old, but what are you gonna do.

    Check in:
    - graded outlines all day (so hard to explain what a thesis statement is!)
    - planned class
    - read a thing about getting a dog from a breeder (instead of a shelter) and became enraged
    - CLEANED MY OFFICE!!!!
    - ORGANIZED MY COMPUTER! Deeper Dropbox trip, it's been updating for 8 hours. Clean lines, no clutter.
    - Made a fucking incredible dinner with fresh farmer's market beans, brussel sprouts, killer brown rice, and nachos instead of bread
    - Now am watching Pan Am, a really shoddy Mad Men rip-off that captures none of its joy and all of its dumb aspects.

    My legs are killing me too! Getting old and working out. Good times.
    Kudos to whoever thought of a beer in the shower after a good long jog.

    It's weird how I have a solidly developed love/hate relationship with this board. Just a thought I have had over my past few internet weak weeks.

    Hey Mike. Can you explain to me the strategy behind having a ton of Google+ circle people in a concise layman manner?

    I creamed the other dude in my fantasy football game last week. Yay Arian Foster!

    Not that you will, but some of you dudes/ettes SHOULD come check out this thing

    because I am one of those people who got picked to be in there, and maybe you would be interested in watching a sort of cramped design school/real world zoo creative land thing.

    that's all I've got.

    I am doing another video bender for Experimental !/2 Hour

    This one is for the Halloween Epsiode

    it's Kidz Bop meets St. Sanders "Shreds"

    It is the longest video I have edited at 30 minutes. My how the hours do sail by.
  • I'm reading that book about that man. Also that book by that other man. I run a lot but my legs don't really hurt. I'm going to go see Urbanized tonight at the IFC Center. I'm glad it's Friday.

    I have no idea how to use Google+!

    Or perhaps I should say, I have no idea WHY to use Google+.
  • I'm sick (again) but super happy.
    Yesterday every primary principal in the district plus my superintendent and the two deputy superintendents came to my classroom to watch me teach math and I totally nailed it. The kids said smart stuff and the room looked great and I got a lot of awesome feedback. They picked my classroom out of all the classrooms in the district because I am a killer math teacher!

    Yesterday I was sooo nervous.
    Today I am sooo happy!
    But also sick.
  • Congrats, Wanda! That's awesome!

    I wish my legs were killing me. Too much sitting for me.

    I am working 50-60 hour weeks plus some classes in the evenings! I am now a (n intern) therapist to 9 clients! This is really really weird. I enter the realities of these people like maybe no one else in their whole lives and discuss things they haven't discussed with anyone EVER before and I do it nine times a week! Crazy. BIG FEAR: I am a full-of-shit therapist who uses dumb counseling language and is totally ineffective.

    Know anyone who needs someone to talk to? Send 'em my way!
  • I am picturing you like Anna Kendrick's character in "50/50."

    "So are you like Doogie Howser?"
    "Who's that?"
    "The teenaged doctor."
    "...does he work in this hospital?"

  • flossy I need to talk... About being a therapist. I've always been intrigued by that career, and want to hear more about it.
  • Very happy to talk, MZ.
