Thesis submitted!

Today was day 5!

I feel great. I feel empowered...

Time to celebrate tomorrow with my 2 other peers who will have finished their theses as well!

(I'll make an exception for this, as I promised special occasions were okay) :))))

As I finish editing my thesis.

Sometimes I look back at the experience of grad school and wonder...


How the hell was I able to finish grad school in 2 years????

With all of the boozing, partying, and stupidness that I went through... How did this happen?

Well, at least I was one of the first to graduate in my program. It was a hell of an experience.

*Day 4 of sobriety.* Clear minded and happy again. :)

Dad.

The one who I dream of being like.
The one who I wish I had a chance to know.
1/2 of my story -- I'm his only child.
I'm the only person carrying the family genes.
My Dad would have certainly achieved greatness...
He's what I inspire to be today.
I wish I could see my Dad one more time.
Have one last hug. I wish I could have been there for him.
I wish I could have taken care of the very person who cared for me so much.

I miss you and love you, Dad.

Is it working?

I really need to learn how to manage my life better.

I know what I have the potential to do. I just need to prove to myself that I CAN do it. and I know what I need to do to get there.

Don't let yourself down. Raymond.


^^^^This is what I tell myself all the time...

It will be a while...

I am finally a Master

After one hell of a weekend. I am finally graduated from SJSU and I have my master's degree.

Well, at least, not formally, but I'm pretty much done...

Now to focus on my career and creating a great life for myself.


Thank you to all who came out and made it extra special for me. I'll never forget you guys. I love you.

-Raymond :)

2nd day of work

Today is my 2nd day of work... Pretty damn excited.

Clean slate.

Where shall we go from here?

I would really like some solidarity in my life right now.

I just can't...

I can't continue this.

Why did you wait so long to tell me? I'm still in love with you but I just can't...

Blurry

It's a fine line between +/-

and the only difference is your attitude, Raymond.

Let's keep up the positives and brush off the negatives. Staying busy will help with that.

Now, if I could only learn to listen to my own advice.

Today...

Today was the first day in a long time where I just felt lost... lonely... just pretty much out of it.

I need some good news in life... and soon. Or else I'll just keep falling out of the groove I should be in.

Why do I feel this way?

Short update...

Getting ready to go to the gym right now for another hour of cardio :)

Tonight I need to look through my thesis draft and redo a bunch of parts... It's a never ending process.

and, right about now... I'm pretty Jack3D. but no Jack3D... using a different preworkout... Hope my forearm heals quickly.

Who thinks I can finish data collection and data analysis in a week? *raises hand*

Freebies from banks and a job search

I'm a man on a mission right now.

All or nothing

I'm applying to a bunch jobs right now. I need a job in the next month.

GAHHH

Lately

I've been being pretty cheap when it comes to spending money. I like this. I hope it continues...
