Year 4

Ok, so the NoJoMo votes from the last entry are in and the results come to:   3 people pleading for me to participate in NoJoMo 3 people mildly expressing their approval of me participating in NoJoMo 2 people leaving notes that failed to mention NoJoMo 2 people who didn’t know or fully...

No matter how hard I try to avoid the news, the stupidity of the world still manages to catch up with me one way or another. Earlier today, I was about to make a Yahoo search and I caught this headline: “New York investigates Facebook over user safety.”   Ok, my first thought is ...

So, I’ve actually been taking small steps towards setting myself up for a job after I finally graduate in May. Yeah, I know, it’s about time. Anyway, a recruiter for a local firm from my hometown took me and a couple other students out to dinner tonight. It went fine. The guy seemed l...

Up until this week I think I’ve only written one diary entry that I finished and then decided not to post (though I admittedly did private a couple after I posted them). Over the last week I’ve written 4 diary entries and not posted any of them. That’s right, you’ve all be...

So, as I feared, I’ve been pretty bored and lonely so far in Athens. I love the university in itself, but my sociality just isn’t producing anything more than classroom acquaintences. My evenings lately have been comprised of reading a bit while I wait for people living thousands of m...

So, I went to my first UGA football game over the weekend; it’s definitely an interesting experience. I’ve been to Major League Baseball games before, as well as a college football game at Georgia Southern (which is a much smaller school), but the atmosphere of a UGA game is definitel...

Corresponding nicely with my somewhat pessimistic “don’t trust people” entry from yesterday, my parents’ farm was robbed two nights ago. I suppose “robbed” might be a bit of strong term, but a trailer was stolen off of the property, presumably in the middle of ...

Heather left for England on Thursday. I know this may hardly seem a matter of consequence, being that she is normally living in California and is already thousands of miles away, but the impact of her leaving is felt nonetheless. Time change, phone rates, and general busyness will (and has alread...

So, I actually went out with Rebecca properly for the first time last night – she showed me around downtown Athens and paid for dinner and coffee afterwards, though she paid for it in a parental way, not a romantic one. She does have most of the dominance on her side in our relationship: sh...
