Not Eating Wendy's For a While
i was driving back to charleston from boone last night. i stopped at wendy’s to get a plain, spicy chicken sandwich. cravings would not subside.

Sleep Deprivation
this week my life consists of:
creating landing pages
finishing a client web page
neverending AITP meetings
turning survey results into charts
finishing my research paper
taking a drug test
cisco training
making gaming club fliers
…and of course twittering
so much for getting a tan and in shape before spring break. i won’t be leaving the computer lab.
i'm going to flunk out of school
and i will blame my downfall on web 2.0.
