I have to admit I’ve been a bit disappointed recently. A little disappointed in myself, and also disappointed in an opportunity.
No details, and I want to keep it classy. So no whining about specifics or saying anything on the internets that can be used against me at a later date.
Sometimes life sucks. Sometimes it’s sad. [...]

Another quarter of grad school is finished. With it, I am more than halfway finished with my studies. I have finished all my core required classes and am now just working on my concentration in digital libraries.

On occasion, I wondered whether it was a good idea to return to school. Anyone who has let me blather for more than 30 seconds at them knows that I’m hanging in there, but barely. I’ve been very busy this quarter.
I don’t mind the work but I do mind never having any free time and [...]

I’ve been in Sacramento since late May 2009. For quite a while, I felt unconnected and lost. I still look up directions to many places, sometimes even to places I’ve already been.
But it finally is starting to make sense, and it’s starting to feel like home.
When I came here, I had a little bit of [...]
