i guess i’ll revive you, wordpress. so i made it through my first quarter of grad school, barely. ok maybe i had some breath to spare thanks to the overkill of the first half. i didn’t care nearly as hard as i did in the beginning so i had some leeway coming into finals. except with database of course. i justified my lack of effort by confidently proclaiming that access will never be a vital function in my future career. i look to stand correct of course.

i’m not a christmas person. i stopped interest when i pinpointed my disgust in american consumerism. at the same time, doesn’t the current american economy need abject materialism to survive? alternatively, how about just increasing transparency when it comes to securities fraud and eliminating d-bags like madoff from operating similar schemes. anyways, gifts aren’t cool, and people probably won’t like 99% of what they get anyway, even kiddies! i’m not a scrooge, in fact, the one routine-christmassy thing i do enjoy is watching it’s a wonderful life- by myself.

merry christmas- i hope you have energy-saving lights instead of those cheap bastards exploding with aritificalness on your front lawns, recycle your gift wrap- better yet, use recycled paper for gift wrapping and be appreciative for what you have, not what you didn’t get :p

i’ll write more about how ‘productive’ i’ve been this break later
