In the coming months I am going to commit a lot of time and energy into preparing myself for graduate studies in Urban Planning. Right now I am thinking I should apply this year, and see where I get accepted and how much financial support I will get. I'm doing this since I think it will become much harder to do once I am not in school. For one thing, being at a university full time gives me

I just uploaded the few photos I took the day that Angie and I visited Taliesin West last month, it was the most beautiful day I have ever seen in the valley. I really enjoyed the desert that one day. In other news, I have been building up my online presence this week. I'm not sure why I got the urge but I created a Linkedin account and I updated my Facebook profile and my ASU Directory Profile

As I got close to finishing high school, I started to want to move to Washington State. I got over that idea for a while, until recently when I decided I wanted to move to Seattle once I finish at ASU. For me to change my plan I would have find a city more likable than Seattle. And next month I will be visiting two cities I have not before in addition to Seattle. I can't wait!

With Borders closing on Mill Ave, Downtown Tempe is losing more of what little it had to offer. While there are many people out there happy to see it go, I am not just yet. It is leaving behind a wake of empty spaces on Mill as it goes. I would love it if Downtown Tempe finally got a grocery store, and what an almost perfect spot. Whole Foods had been opening larger and larger stores in the early

As of next Tuesday I will have completed 64.7% of my undergrad degree. Statistically I should be 62.5% (5/8) done, so I will not be behind anymore! :)

I have a renewed sense of awe and a restored vision of hope for our country. This is our country and we are each part of something larger than ourselves. The people who have recently been lured into fearing President-elect Obama, have been listening to hateful and fearful words emanated from the other side of this election. Well the election is over now, and we are one once again. Over the next

I am wondering how someone can tell if they're being over ambitious? I'd rather hope for more than shoot for less you know? Also, I turn 21 tomorrow, going out for drinks the next two nights should provide me with some marry times - not to mention I get to see friends I have not seen enough of lately!

Electricity is a wonderfully complex part of our daily lives. Of course electricity isn't just sourced from one fuel, but employs a mix of fuel sources to create the currents that power our modern homes and offices. We've been learning about the rolls that energy mixes play in my Sustainability classes. Last week it caused me to look up the fuel mix of SRP and APS. It turns out that both APS

The signs have been clear for a while. The national financial system has been tumbling into a destructive meltdown for quite sometime. Over 7 months ago I predicted that we'd be in such a situation at some point during 2008. Unfortunately - with events such as the largest bankruptcy in US history - that prediction has come true this week. It's gotten so bad that the US government is stepping in

I really like Google's web browser. I think it has the absolute best interface of any web browser I've seen on Windows. That's saying a lot, since Firefox has been quite the revolution. However, I have never been impressed with WebKit (the underlying open source rendering engine from Safari), and I'm sad that Google Chrome is built upon WebKit. I'd rather see it using Gecko. But, it is still very

Last night's storm was beautiful. But I could have been hurt or killed on multiple occasions. That's what made it so enjoyable. I was at ASU West waiting for Angie to get out of class when the storm rolled in from the East, and the rain didn't hit until we were on the I-17 and it intensified enough for us to get off at McDowell. There was then flooding, no electricity, various malfunctioning

I am about to invest in a large purchase of rechargeable batteries. I've picked out what promises to be the best choice. The batteries can be recharged 1,000 times and they also do not discharge nearly as fast as most other rechargeable batteries. Discharge is when a battery losses some of its life while it is being stored or not frequently used. Anyway, I am spending $40 on 10 batteries and

I've been really sleepy lately. Late nights and early mornings don't go together well, especially repetitively. I can't wait for this semester - 6 classes is the most I've tried to succeed in. In other news, I have always loved face customization things online like faceyourmanga.com. I made my face on there yesterday; and the background is inspired by school starting next week and naruto!

ASU is cutting 48 jobs this year and eliminating 33 unfilled jobs; meaning a loss of 81 academic professionals who's primary job is to help students and schools within ASU function. This change is going to directly effect me because the College of Design is going to see three of its departments: Industrial, Interior and Visual Communication Design combine into a School of Design Studies.. which

It seems like ASU's Downtown campus shuttle (which I use very regularly) is expanding its schedule drastically this fall. It'll run 7 days a week now and to as late as 2 AM on Saturday! Wonderful news, thank you ASU for giving me another reason to be happy with you as an institution.

This whole weekend I've been at Angie's new place, helping her move in and get settled in. But this morning I woke up with the worst headache ever and immediately got nauseated; preventing me from actually getting out of bed until a few short minutes ago. I can't wait for school to be back in session in two weeks!
