"wait you OWN your apartment??? Shit. If I move to NY and sell my car the most expensive thing I'll own is my broken laptop..."  But I'll be full with CREATIVITY AND ART!

How I see moving to NY on my own:  me, sobbing in a car, anxious from the crazy drivers, thinking "this is what an independent grown up looks like, kids... *hiccup*"

Grocery shopping at the end of the day problems: spending 5 min too long looking for unbruised apples.  sadlifeproblems: having an apple fall out of the bag when unpacking groceries giving it a big ol mushy spot.

"Many kids come preinstalled with some entitlement. Many kids also come preinstalled with great empathy and a tendency toward guilt.  If you don't allow them to be angry when they're being treated poorly, you do them a disservice."

For Halloween, I'm going to be a sad grad student eating leftover oatmeal at 5pm.  Heyyyyo the good life.

Every week when I look at SAS output, the same thoughts cross my mind "oh my god, what are all these tests???  What am I looking at?  Bleeeeh I've learned nothing.  Ugh, why did I bother trying to learn this, there's no such thing as a HALF-ASSED data monkey!  'Garbage-in garbage-out' INDEED."

Ah, so this is the mindset people have when they drop out of school with so few credits left to complete. #dying

I'm so good at keeping in touch with friends because I can't help but live in the past.

"God said, 'I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.' So God made a farmer."

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon McCarthy: "That convinced me, I'm buying a farmer first thing tomorrow."

BAAAAH I think my laptop is going to crap out on me.  Then saw the training session in the room next to my office had finished and left their leftover juices for us.  WILL DRINK A LAPTOP'S WORTH IN JUICE!

Adulthood: spending money on things you don't want.  Prior to that: spending money on things you don't need.

TACO BELL HOT SAUCE YOU ARE SO GOOOOOD ON RICE!

[halcyondays3]

When sober/before 3am/when you're 25, Taco Bell Doritos Loco Tacos taste like seasoned shingles.  And the chalupa is stale.  What the hell, body/BRIARCLIFF TACO BELL.  I think it's the later. Otherwise, I'll miss you you delicious, questionable fast food...

Got a purse today and tried to remember the name of it to see online if I got a good deal.  The only thing that popped in my head was "diptheria."  I've been in public health too long.

(It was Delphina.)

I failed at finding the kickball field so I went to Mcdonald's and got a happy meal (specifically for the despicable me toy).  I am the worst.

Saying you're "training for a marathon" is no different than "being pre-med."  It's a process and few will actually keep tabs to make sure you reach that goal.  On that note, IM TRAINING FOR A MARATHON GUYS! (but really a 10k. ....ok a 5k)
