Testing…
I’m working on migrating my blog to AWS, where it will likely go back to sitting stagnant, but I wanted to see if this would be successful.
A father’s love
As I was walking back from class today, enjoying the “warm” weather, I began thinking about God. I was thinking about how God loves me, in a way that is beyond anything I could ever be worthy of. Nothing I have done has caused Him to love me. Nothing I could ever do would make…
Computer Science
I am officially an undergraduate in the Department of Computer Science, working toward a second bachelor’s degree. I have completed four courses and will begin working on my fifth, CS232 (Computer Architecture II), next week. So far, I’ve done pretty well, but things will only get tougher as I go along.
Classes
For several years, I have felt guilty about not taking advantage of the tuition waiver I receive for being a staff member at the University of Illinois. I had often thought about pursuing a master’s degree, but could never overcome the overwhelming task of thinking about, let alone choosing, a major. I always felt inadequately…
Weight Watchers and health
If you don’t want to know about my weight loss and/or current health battles, don’t read this post. You have been warned. Emily and I have been doing Weight Watchers’ tracking since the beginning of the year. We did a really good job of closely monitoring everything for the first 7 weeks and we both…
MIA
Yes, it is true that I have neglected my blog for a long time. It is also true that I never got around to that honeymoon post. I lost the Biggest Loser competition that was talked about in the last post…and the winner only lost some trivial amount of weight. I’m going to try to…
Biggest Loser week 2
Weigh in for our “Biggest Loser” competition at work is on Wednesday. I missed the week 1 weigh-in while we were in Mexico, but I was glad to see that I only gained about 5 pounds while in Mexico… Starting weight: 266.9 Week 1: N/A Week 2: 271.2 (+1.61%) Emily and I discussed our schedules…
Honeymoon post in progress
I’m composing a post about the honeymoon, but it’s going to be in draft status for a few days, as I’m not really up for writing about the whole thing in one sitting. It will be up soon, with pictures. In the meantime, feel free to check out our honeymoon album.
Married
So, I apparently started a draft about a month ago, entitled “Married.” and never posted it. News flash: I married Emily Grace Burdette on May 23, 2009. Most people reading this blog are already aware of this, so I apologize for wasting their time.
Biggest Loser
Undergraduate Admissions at the College of Business organized a Biggest Loser competition within their department a few months ago. One of the secretaries in OIM heard about it a few weeks ago and thought there might be enough interest in our own department to run a similar competition. There is a $20 buy-in (UGrad was…
