silent_rock's Journal: deep earth is for suckers

Our 5th Anniversary reunion is this weekend, and honestly, all I can say after seeing the registration list is, who the hell are all of these people? 1600 in our class and i have no idea who these people are... And they don't know who I am either... But seriously, five years. It would be funny if I had put down in writing what I thought I would've accomplished in five years. Probably should've finished my Ph.D in four years, then become a prof and do whatever profs do with their lives. Oh well. At least I have a nice monitor and a lot of regular flavor oatmeal. What are you supposed to be doing five years after graduating from college that you paid a freaking lot of money (ma and pa's life savings! hahaha) to go to anyways.

My housemate tells me she has been terrorizing the neighbors' little dog with her stuffed-animal lamb.

Some movies I have never seen and feel like I should see at some point:
Rocky
The Graduate
The one where Tom Cruise dances in his underwear.

v: I don't know, if I were to do it all again, I'm not sure if I'd get into the whole deep earth thing.
me: Deep earth is for suckers.
v: I guess you are right, I think I am a shallow person and I should study the surface of the earth.
me: !!!!!

me: I'm going swimming now.
yesdogs: good for you.
me: don't give me that good for you crap.
yesdogs: okay, fine, fuck you!
[hah! she's learning...]

I'm scurred about upcoming experimental stuff. I'm quite enjoying this desk-sitting-period. Excel, Word, Matlab, and Launchcast are my daily buddies. I checked out a book yesterday, Dynamics of Rockslides and Rockfalls. It is excellent.
