wow, it's been too long! where has the time gone?? who am i talking to??

i just spent some time (instead of studying for a global management exam that's tomorrow) reading my older entries. so many things have happened since i've updated this thing...for one thing, i'm 27. i guess that's not really an accomplishment but the only thing jumping out to me right now. i'm old. i'm OLD. I AM old.

work is ridiculous. i don't code anymore. instead, i manage 6 different projects (business segment wireless, consumer segment wireless, business segment fax, and 3 different home grown ASIC projects). 6 'projects' but that expands to like a thousand products. ok, maybe not a thousand but every single printer we will produce in 2008, 2009, and 2010. i hate being a project manager. how does one expect me to motivate developers when i have no power to motivate them. all i know is, this has to be a transitional role, i won't be able to handle it for much longer... or i will need to learn how to not care so much of things i cannot control.

school is...i've got 7 months left. that's all i've got to say.

i'm currently reading 'eat, pray, love'. alone. so i won't freak anybody out when i suddenly burst out laughing. i relate to so many points in the book. all women should read it, men should read it if they have any desire to understand complicated women.

i don't know who to vote for in november. the bad one or the bad one? how can i choose from such great options! without getting too much into it, they're polar opposites, completely on the very edge of each side. what do people have against moderation these days? it's not boring, it's...the best of both worlds! what a concept, huh??

i'm totally procrastinating for my global management exam b/c i have absolutely no clue on what it will cover. the professor is nuts and he comes in just rambling about the most random topics in no coherent manner. we also have no textbook. so instead of studying everything (in the world), i've decided to studying nothing. either way, i lose, might as well spend my time writing this entry.

i'm becoming an introvert (lack of actually socializing with friends and coworkers, a separate entry to follow once i find the time) with still the needs of an extrovert (needing energy from other people). this makes for a pretty conflicting lifestyle.

so in summary: work = exhausting school = meaningless social life = minimal to non-existent health = still not exercising unless you can call my short 20 min walks with penny family = great, parents are thrilled to see a independent first born who also takes care of the youngest. if anything, i may consider this my greatest accomplishment so far as a 27 year old.

(hmmm, how come my entry is not showing up with line breaks??) ok, i manually put in breakpoints. i still remember html!

I am constantly tired and most of the time cranky. That pretty much sums up the past 15 days.
