Jammin' at Home

It is so hard to believe how fast the summer has flown by. I have been playing with my second computer all summer, as my first is biding its time dismantled in Vernon, British Columbia. This one is fantastically illuminated by the UV cold cathode tube, and it has a reasonable amount of power with an AMD Athlon XP 2100+. Games are alright on it, but I have stuck mainly to surfing and business type applications. The motherboard is an ancient ECS K7S5A, which supports both SDRAM 133 and DDR 266. I am hoping to finish out this summer with a bang as I take an introspective look on how to correct what I view as key flaws within my psyche -- namely, my overwhelming urge to procrastinate and near complete inability to focus on what I want to accomplish, a distinct lack of talent for solving complex chemical problems involving multiple equations, and total disorganization. Desiring to conquer these and other issues in my life, I have taken the approach of figuring out how to properly balance personal, work, and academic issues in what appears to be an extremely busy calendar for the upcoming year. Needless to say, progress has been minimal, but I am dedicated to completing these tasks long before I begin school again. Since I have not written in nearly a month and a half, there is much to be said about my adventures, including my trip to Colorado, my ordeals at the workplace, and ambitious plans to rule the world (or just gain back control of my life...). I will attempt to write more on these topics over the next week.
