Everybody Wants to Change the World

Posted by: Marnie on: August 23, 2010

So Sunday night I’m watching Jersey Shore, which I recorded last Thursday night.  Judge me if you must, I realize the show has virtually no value whatsoever; however, I find it highly entertaining because on the inside, I’m a gossip and enjoy watching other people’s drama.  That being said, on this particular episode of the [...]

UNIV 2012 — the class for screw-ups

Posted by: Marnie on: August 20, 2009

On the quest to continue my education, I attended school today. Okay, perhaps it was more to just not die at the hands of my mother for skipping or at the hands of my Success Strategies instructor, who specifically stated that should we skip her class, she’ll be sure and hunt us down. She said [...]

Been awhile, old friend

Posted by: Marnie on: February 18, 2009

I haven’t updated in eighty bajillion years.  That’s way too long, and I’m kind of mad at myself for not sticking to my resolution to blog frequently.  Of course, “frequently” can be interpreted many ways.  Compared to the great scope of time, I blog almost incessantly…but we all know how good I am at rationalizing [...]

Sunday, bloody Sunday… Okay, maybe not.  I’ve just been listening to U2. More like nice, slightly chilly, slow-moving Sunday.  It’s kinda nice. Aaron and I just got back from church (and Taco Bell).  The sermon was about reclaiming masculinity and about the model for marriage that’s laid out in the Bible.  It was pretty interesting, [...]

Spring semester: 1/16th complete

Posted by: Marnie on: January 16, 2009

First week of school down!  Now, only 15 more to go. This semester I’m taking trigonometry, a French class, humanities after the Renaissance and U. S. history since the Civil War. I really enjoyed all of my classes.  I mean, I guess I enjoyed trigonometry as much as someone who’s slightly mathematically handicapped can… but [...]

Back to school, back to school

Posted by: Marnie on: January 9, 2009

Today I paid my tuition, bought my books and picked up my parking decal — good through August of 2009, folks! I’ve written on here quite a bit about my lack of direction and somewhat about my inability to follow through on most all commitments that i involve myself in.  So you can imagine my [...]

It’s all in the follow-through

Posted by: Marnie on: November 13, 2008

I have signed up to write a novel in the month of November. To win this challenge, as stated in the rules of the NaNoWriMo08 challenge(www.nanowrimo.org), I must have 50,000 words by the last day of this month. Any guesses as to how many words that Marnie’s written at this point? “Marnie is always prepared!  [...]

Give me a whip and bring on the lions

Posted by: Marnie on: October 30, 2008

So many of you are aware of my struggle to find a passion.  I’ve switched majors enough times for twelve indecisive college students and I still can’t figure out what I want to spend the rest of my able and healthy working days doing. Maybe that’s the problem.  The working part, I mean.  I can [...]

Going to school is not enough, you must also have direction

Posted by: Marnie on: October 23, 2008

So recently I’ve been having trouble(more than usual) with the idea of becoming an adult.  Correction: a functioning adult.  You know the kind.  They have a 9 – 5 job.  They pay their own rent, buy their own groceries, and God forbid, foot the bill of their own credit cards *gasp*.  These creatures of myth [...]
