Turkeys and onward

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Wednesday: I went to my 8:30AM class and then went home around noon(skipping my 6:00PM class).

This year was no exception to that. [...]

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

One would call this an experimental post. Right now I am typing this out on my Blackberry while in math class. We just spent around 48 minutes debating how to solve an annuity problem.

A new beginning

Friday, November 11th, 2005

This post marks a transition from the days of LiveJournal to a new WordPress blog that I will host myself. I’ve been fighting the idea of switching to my own blog system for a long time because of the easy of use that LiveJournal offers. This changed when I did some research to setup Andrea’s [...]
