http://www.xorph.com/kk Now my life's full of new, different types of adventures that I'll try to update every now and then. Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:52:43 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en For the past three years, this week of the year I've been packing. And this weekend I would be flying to England. But not this year... This year, I'm going to be at my new apartment, going to the St. James Art Fair with Kyle and my mom, ... http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/10/03/its-not-that-time-of-year-again/ There is this quote by Walter Bagehot that I found once, and I think it is can be true, though I value education for other reasons too. "Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when ... http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/09/18/sometimes-education-can-make-you-forget/ So I got trapped in my bathroom the other night. The door to our bathroom always stuck a little at the top, so I decided one evening to be productive and fix it by sanding the top of the door and the door frame. And then we wouldn't have to ... http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/09/17/very-traumatic-event/ I think its time my blog at least changes names. I thought about retiring it altogether, but it will still be here, though I doubt I will write in it as much. Usually I wrote in my blog when I was upset, stressed, or less often, exciting about ... http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/08/31/no-longer-england-blog/ I move the rest of my stuff (big furniture) July 18 and 19, not June 18 and 19. So next weekend. I would love any help I can get. http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/07/14/ok-so-apparently-i-think-its-june-not-july/ But I got a 2:1 overall on my exams. Sarah wrote me and told me. It's the second highest mark. Would have rather had a first, but that's okay. http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/07/10/i-dont-know-my-individual-marks-yet/ The evening of Friday, June 18, and the morning of Saturday, June 19, my friend Alice will be bringing her brother's big truck with some of my big furniture that she's been keeping for me. It's not a lot of stuff, just pretty big and sometimes heavy, and we ... http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/07/09/want-to-help-me-move/ This morning I called my new landlady, Susan, and told her I wanted to rent from her. I talked her down a little bit as long as we take care of the backyard, which is small and fenced-in. At least, I think we take care of the yard. ... http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/07/08/got-an-apartment/ I got offered a position as energy market analyst at E.ON US on Monday. I accepted it on Tuesday. I filled out paperwork and took a drug test on Wednesday, and I assume I passed the test. I start my job on July 14. So now ... http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/07/05/got-a-job/ In case you didn't know, I made it back to the US safely with my blade in tow. Both my flights were delayed so I got in later than planned, but that's okay. The bus from Oxford to the airport and my plane allowed me to bring my ... http://www.xorph.com/kk/2008/06/23/home-and-gone/
