Reconnecting with my Passion

“Why am I here?”

Meh. The more I ask myself this question, the more I realize, that not only is there no concrete, objective answer, but even if there were, I wouldn’t really care.

The real question: “Given that I am here, what the heck am I supposed to do?”

Over the last couple weeks,  a truth has slowly dawned on me: I am slowly and steadily losing touch with everything that I am passionate about. I find myself succumbing to boredom and procrastination because I feel like there’s nothing that I’m really excited about. Now don’t be alarmed–This is no call for help. (more…)

Energy Drink Time Bomb

Last night I had a late snack at 1:30 am after partying. I wanted to stay up to study a bit before going to sleep so I downed an energy drink. One hour later, I still wasn’t feeling anything so I just went to bed and passed out. I thought it strange–I don’t have caffeine that often so I figured I’d be wired. (more…)

New computer!

I just built a new computer and I’m setting it up right now! This is one of the best feelings in the world — like how Christmas feels to little children. (more…)

Yet Another Uber-Fail

After doing Uberman for one day (the naps after the first two were actually quite successful) I got up at 2:30 and remembered how much willpower executing uberman demands. I didn’t feel like it so I returned to sleep, turned off my alarm when it went off, and was half an hour late to class (not a big deal as it was my hippie sound synthesis class and they were just listening to music) (more…)

Uberman For a Few Days

It’s been a while since I updated.

I’m still pretty successfully a more organized person, but lately I’v slipped up. My room is actually kind of messy right now. But nothing as out of hand as it was last quarter. And more importantly, I know where everything is, and I can find stuff quickly. I’m keeping a calendar. It’s all going pretty successfully. (more…)

Becoming an Organized Person

How do you eat an elephant? As the moto goes, one bite at a time, but today I discovered that perhaps the more appropriate answer is “swallow the whole frick’n thing” (more…)

Ode to Customer Service

So here’s a new story… My site exploded, I called customer service, and… it worked! …well after the second try…

So the overall process was really frustrating, but I’ve never heard anything positive about customer service and they actually gave me a straight-forward fix. The solution to my problem was so simple that I just have to post it here in case anyone searches it. (more…)

Winter Break!

Another quarter over with and I’m going back home. It’s been awhile so I want to keep my blog alive. I’m back to a primarily monophasic sleep schedule, however the amount of sleep I get in a day varies drastically from 3-15 hours. Just wanted to wish any readers happy holidays and all that. I plan to revamp my website over break a bit to get some of the CS stuff I’ve been working on during the quarter up.

I’m also going to start a new project (more…)

Being Nocturnal

Lately I’ve become monophasic only to realize that I’m unable to go to bed before 5:00 am. The result is that I’m almost entirely nocturnal. Yesterday I woke up at 5:00pm after having gone to bed at 7 am and the sun had already set. It was a little disorienting but fun. Unfortunately my classes tomorrow morning are in fact during the day so I’m going to have to switch to a more feasible schedule (more…)
