I started my trip off, not with a wimper but a extremely disappointing bang. Because of heavy fog, I am still in Cedar Rapids. I should have been well on my way to New York by this point. So I am stuck driving to Chicago to catch a 6 am flight to DC, which will…
My Nervous Excitement
I leave in less than two weeks and the stress is starting to cover me in waves. Packing is hard. What to bring is easy, what to leave behind is much more difficult. I’m glad I intentionally didn’t buy the biggest backpack possible because it limits my weight. I’m still nervous in the sense as…
My Thanksgiving 07
The past week was pretty darn spiffy. I had 10 people over for a pre Thanksgiving feast. Don’t ask me how I got so many people in to my tiny apartment in Iowa, I think laws of physics were bent in order to accommodate for lack of space. Everyone brought a couple of dishes and…
My Briefness
In accordance with my “if we aren’t going to be fiscally conservative lets spend our money on shit that’s way more useful” policy, I really enjoyed the below article Money Well Spent I found out I can listen to the economist on my ipod. How kick ass is that? Ever since my class started I…
My Xmas and Bday List

My Past Week
Bush says democrats are not doing their jobs because they aren’t passing legislation for his approval. Bush’s top priority is to protect Americans, hence he wants over 550 billion dollars for defense and military (which does keep me employed). Except I guess protecting sick kids is too much help, so he keeps on vetoing insurance…
My 5th Grade Nemesis
I can’t focus at work today, someone I’ve know since I was 10 wasanonymously brutally murdered, and I can’t stop thinking about mine and everyone else I knows mortality. She was such a good person in spirit, intellect, and personality. She loved God and everyone keeps saying have faith in God. I feel like I…
My Trip Stuff
I got my Visa in the mail today for Vietnam. This trip is getting closer and closer and I have done so little to prepare. I have one last required act to do, and then all I need to do is buy supplies. This last task is getting my excessive amount of shots, I don’t…
My Homecoming 07
Homecoming was wonderful. But honestly when is it not. I can’t think of once in the past six years when homecoming sucked. Is it possible to have a miserable time when you are surrounded by an army of friends, drinking beer, and singing American pie? I think not. I guess I could go back to…
My Failed Attempt
I got a 28.7% on my first HW for my grad class. Anyone else have any encouraging grade stories that resulted in recovery that could improve my mood? Comments: I got a 43 on my first test in 351 and still pulled a B+. You coming to homecoming? Posted by Hach at 12:48…
