Only 11 days left…

on my contract, including two break days that I still haven’t scheduled. I didn’t realize how close to the end of this I’ve come. Yikes.

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

I really feel like I should be writing something profound today. Or at least comment on current events or something. I’m just not sure I have anything profound or relevant to say. It’s another one of those days where everyone I share an office with is out, leaving me all alone with my iPod and [...]

Is it possible?

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

So, I don’t see that this is geting much national press, but a group of scientists, including one from BYU, may have found a cure for AIDS!
