Graduate from university (read all 2 entries…)
changed the goal 3 weeks ago

So I’ve changed the goal, since i am officially a full time student now having a goal of “going to university” seemed a little silly. It also wasn’t very specific or measurable. so the new goal is to finish this thing up and get a degree already. I’m thinking May 2011 is a good target, but i might stretch it out if i can find an internship and make a little cash along the way.



stop biting my nails (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 2 months ago

Okay, so its been 3 weeks since I bought the nail polish stuff, and let me assure you of this: it works.
I applied it once and it tasted so awful that quickly learned not to put my fingers anywhere near my mouth, even long after it wore off. this week was a little stressful and I caught myself getting back into the habit so put on another coat of paint. i find keeping my nails cut really short helps as ive been scratching at my cuticles with my fingernails as well, such a bizarre thing to do.
Anyway this is coming along, i don’t feel like I’m ready to call in a “done it” yet, but getting there.



improve my writting
Untitled 2 months ago

I’ve never been a good writer. To be honest I don’t know how to structure an essay build a thesis or anything like that, I just learned how to put a bibliography together last week and I’m 36 years old.
In my defense I can safely say I’ve never been asked to. I went french school as kid and my teachers were more concerned with making sure in didn’t speak English that making sure i could write in either language. After that was art school, and not much essay writing happened there, I’m in university now and for the first time I have to write things and make sense, so improving my writing seems like a good goal. I’m taking an essay writing class to help with the transition, ill try to keep you informed on my progress. stay tuned.
