I just upgraded WordPress and am trying out the WordPress iPhone app for the first time. This should help me to keep this thing up to date more easily…
I made matzah brei for the first time this morning. Working from the recipe in The Complete Passover Cookbook and past experience watching my mom make it, it came out pretty well. (more…)
School starts on September 22. That leaves about 3 weeks total. Getting exciting. Going to spend part of this coming holiday weekend at my place in Santa Cruz. I will bring a few things along to get the move started, and probably visit my parents at Folk Music Camp in Boulder Creek. (more…)
Today is such a nice day, I couldn’t waste it sitting inside… so, I deicded to take my two supercomputing laptops to a local city park.

The last few days this week have been a real drag. I started a new job this week, so now my hours are really really long. Up at 6am, class at 7:30am, work until 7pm, homework until 10pm…. ugh!
Monday and Tuesday, I seemed to be very very tired all day. No amount of caffeine seemed to help. I reached the state of caffeine overload.
Today, I decided to cut waaay back. I had one small 12-ounce cup of coffee in the morning, and that was it. Instead of having a Mountain Dew soda between classes, I had a Nantucket Nectar (juice), replaced Coke with Sprite at Lunch, and water for pretty much the rest of the day.
The result? I got a little bit sleepy in the mid afternoon, but seemed to survive it with no trouble. I didn’t even start to feel tired until around 9 or so. It’s 10:01 pm now, time to turn in for the evening, and I am fading fast.
Let’s hope tomorrow goes about the same!!
Well, I got into one of the nine schools that I applied to… University of California, Santa Cruz. This is the one that I actually wanted to get into… lucky me. I gave them some money on Friday evening, so now I wait to hear some more from them… Yay!
Yet another evening where I have so much to do, but I am too tired to do anything. *sigh* Tried studying for both of my math quizzes tomorrow, but I just get everything wrong. Have a CS lab due tomorrow too. Looks like I am working on it last minute. I guess I will just try to enjoy the evening and study tomorrow 
Yesterday afternoon, I spent some time talking to a transfer counselor about my transfer situation. I ran out of time, so I will have to go back. It looks as if it won’t be possible for me to get a Transfer Agreement signed with any UC due to my grades. That’s how the cookie crumbles, I suppose. TAA’s don’t start until the summer anyway, so I have a bunch of time to ponder my situation.
I also tried to talk to a a regular counselor in the Counseling and Advising Center in order to file an educational plan. There was a line, their office was going to close in 30 minutes, and they no longer take appointments (They only do walk in advising near the end of the quarter). So, I get to go back to wait in line just to get advice that stinks. *sigh*
Now that I have my own blog, I really understand how people get sucked into it….. Even though this blog has only been shown to a few friends so far, I feel like I already have an audience that I am writing to, even though I am really only writing to myself, and for myself….
Maybe it’s just been too long since I have written anything…
