Can't hold a candle to me cause all the moths get in the way.



Not much to blog about lately.  The weekends go by as fast as a speeding bullet but the weekdays are as slow as molasses.  I guess time really does fly when you're having fun.  It's been eight hours of staring at a computer screen pretending to work for the past week or so.  Tomorrow should be the same except for about an hour of meetings.  Can't believe they're paying me for this. 

So the progress on the scooter is going slower than expected.  The person I expected to learn from has suddenly fell out of my life.  Sort of... If I don't get a chance to learn from someone, the chances of me getting a scooter will drop dramatically.  I won't even know how to ride it off the lot without some help.   I need to brush up on how to ride.

I feel like I'm losing my science skillz too.  I'm going to throw all of my lectures into my ipod and listen to them at work for the next few days.  Hopefully the sound of my professors voice won't put me to sleep at work.  For a full year (two semesters), I probably fell asleep twice in this class even though it was at 7:30AM every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  The teacher was so intimidating that I didn't want to get yelled at.  This teacher was the best teacher I've ever had.  His method of teaching was through intimidation.  It made me feel so inadequate just listening to him lecture.  He's a professor at SJSU, Santa Clara University, licensed veterinarian, owns his own construction consulting company, and has so many side projects it's ridiculous.  This guy was the shit.  I studied harder than I ever have in my entire life for this class just because I didn't want to look incompetent.  A letter of recommendation from this guy would probably be the best one I could get.  One of his top students is now the head microbiologist for Revlon.  This guy is who I want to be.

You want to be a modern-day Renaissance man, because that is TOTALLY what that guy is.

BTW you were right, I love the song and the video. Kaleidoscopes are so cooooool, and such a clever theme for an MV!

The title of this post totally made me giggle outloud
