Prying Open My Third Eye: August 2010
http://chrysanthymum.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Prying Open My Third Eye. Writing on writing, music, metaphysics, science and life. Thursday, August 19, 2010. I announced on my facebook a week or so ago that I'm going pre-med in school, which is something I've been thinking about for a long time and want to say more about. I've been thinking of it as "my big secret" for awhile, but really it was more just something that was so new, and I was so uncertain of, that I had to keep it to myself for awhile. So, onward to the next things. The storm is coming...

And my brain is full, I don't think there is any point in trying to stuff in any more details about biology. Anyway we had a practice final and I got 78 out of 80, so I'm probably fine, I hope. It's been a LOT of information though! It's like holy shit that's a lot of material! All right, well just stopping by b/c it's been awhile. I think I am actually goin...

Prying Open My Third Eye: May 2010

Prying Open My Third Eye. Writing on writing, music, metaphysics, science and life. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. What the fuck is wrong with people? Or, more simply, venting). And I wasn't really comfortable with it. I definitely, definitely can get a sense of people through writing, so I told the guy I'd like to chat on the site a time or two first. I wanted to get a basic sense of the guy. I do not think that's unreasonable. So my reaction is WTF? The guy is acting like it would have killed him to not talk o...

Prying Open My Third Eye: October 2010

Prying Open My Third Eye. Writing on writing, music, metaphysics, science and life. Saturday, October 23, 2010. Of Bones, Brains, Chemistry and Poetry. The lab for Chem is pass/fail only, no grade, so there's a bit less pressure there. I like my lab TA - very helpful and thorough, and things like staying to go over equations are optional so leaving early is nice, considering my lab ends at 8:30pm. My drawing of the right lateral view of the brain:. On the first day of class, my prof read us some poems by...

Prying Open My Third Eye. Writing on writing, music, metaphysics, science and life. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Sorry, but I'm going to have to pass on #FridayFlash this week! Tomorrow I get up at an ungodly early hour to catch the train to the airport for an early morning flight to spend the weekend in Baltimore at a leadership training for the National Federation of the Blind. And I haven't even started packing! Have a great weekend everyone. Linda, I hope to see you! It'll be great. And people in ...

Prying Open My Third Eye. Writing on writing, music, metaphysics, science and life. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Okay, it's been forever or whatever. And I actually had a friend (who I don't get to talk to enough) email me asking if I was okay b/c my lack of blogging worried her. Really I have no good reason other than just being busy and pathologically inconsistent in some areas of life. So, it's been over two months! I did sing "hold On' for my voice class, and it went okay but would've gone better if I hadn...

The best part of the whole weekend, even better than Tool and Maynard was getting to hang out with some great people who I don't get to see nearly often enough. It was a great trip full of awesome music and good times. It was nice though to get back and sleep in a real bed and not have to set up and take down camp every day. Links to this post.

Prying Open My Third Eye: Applying to Jobs with a Disability
http://chrysanthymum.blogspot.com/2010/07/applying-to-jobs-with-disability.html
Prying Open My Third Eye. Writing on writing, music, metaphysics, science and life. Friday, July 16, 2010. Applying to Jobs with a Disability. It's a challenge, which is probably fairly obvious. It's grueling. I hate applying for jobs (doesn't everyone? Partly because I just don't want to deal with people's shitty attitudes and the uncomfortable situations and all the rejection. 70-75% of blind and visually-impaired people are unemployed. That number is STAGGERING, especially because there are so man...

Prying Open My Third Eye. Writing on writing, music, metaphysics, science and life. Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Last night I wrote a post about the convention I just went to for the National Federation of the Blind, and about the Colorado training center for the blind that I want to attend. That post was inspired in part by the fact that I just started reading the book Freedom for the Blind by Jim Omvig. It was recommended to me by my friend Jedi from my state affiliate.
