Just a brief update, as school work has me scheduling times to take breath, much less anything enjoyable.

The schooling goes alright. I wish I were doing better, but it's a sad fact most of us in the accelerated program face: we're not going to be straight-A students anymore. Those who are keeping the grades high typically managed to test out of one or two...

Spring Break, let the hallelujahs ring forth. Not that I'm doing anything special, really; I just have more time to crack open some books and get ready for the second half of the semester. It does mean I get to dig more freely into my Netflix queue, which is nice. I enjoyed Miike's Audition[/] Monday night (not for the squeamish), and am eagerly anticipating Let...

School (UNC-Chapel Hill) is fairly insane. I-N-S-A-N-E. Just over 20 hours of classes and labs each week, most of them with weekly quizzes or assignments. I'm hitting the initial exam phase, leaving very little time to go out and have fun.

So last Saturday I went out and had fun, in the form of the Dirge Factory's Temptation night, a sort of goth-fetish gathering they...

Okay, long past time to update as usual.
EDIT: Check out these amazing astronomy photographs. Beautiful.

Halloween
Had a great party that Friday, to which I forgot to bring my camera. Even better, though, was a visit by my friend Laurel, current roommate of my odious ex-girlfriend but all-around awesome person nonetheless. We watched a long list of movies and had a most excellent...

EDIT: Big news! I've been accepted into UNC-Chapel Hill's 14 month accelerated Bachelor's of Nursing program, which starts in January. I've been aiming for this for about 3 years now -- working and taking classes I missed the first time around college -- so it's great to finally hit the mark. It'll be a busy year and a half, but well worth it. Friends treated...

Not much to update at present, just wanted to get that unfortunate bit of my life behind me. I never would have guessed, over the years I've known her, that she'd do such things, but so it goes ("She dun what'n she should'uh'na dun," as folks say around these parts). Moving on now.

Working on my reapplication to UNC-Chapel Hill. Most of the blanks are...

I had a much different update in mind, and have been thoroughly lazy in writing it.

But then she called an end to it.
Couldn't feel comfortable, her mind still preoccupied with her last, lengthy, relationship.
She really was it though. Best ever. The One and all that.
Damn.

EDIT 7/11: We talked, and I kinda agree with her perspective. She wasn't ready for a...

So, UNC-Chapel Hill can kiss my ass.

I assume they rejected my app due to my taking a trio of prereq's this semester. And, maybe, because a couple other prereqs are really, really old. Goddamn, I hope they don't make me retake statistics. It's not difficult, but would rather focus on other courses.

Semester is almost done. Still kicking ass in everything. I did the...

Everything Changes

In an act of true impulsiveness, the girl from my previous entry flew up last Monday and left today. We've known each other quite a few years and have gotten very close the last several months, yet it still amazed me just how well we clicked. No one has fit so perfectly against me at night, nor engendered such a feeling of closeness...

This Issue: Kicking Ass and Breaking Rules

In my continuing effort to keep Ash mollified, here's the seasonal update.

Midterms kept my noggin in the books for a solid week, during which I lived on little more than PBJ's and caffeine. Brings back memories of my first trip through college, only without downing a 6-pack of craptastic beer every night. The investment paid off though:...
