Random crap.

> My CV is the third link displayed on Google when you search “Claudia M. Mahler.” Like anybody’s going to search that, but still…

> My iPod bit it, but I live less than 10 blocks from an actual Apple store, so I shall trek there to see what’s what in the world of pretty music machines.

> Carrots are the most fantastic thing ever.

> For whatever reason, revamping my “Top Favorites” song list makes me ridiculously happy.

> I finally got the courage to check my calculus grade, and I didn’t totally bomb it like I thought I had (seriously…it shouldn’t have been possible to get the grade I got when I had a full-blown panic attack during the final). It drags my “over all universities GPA” down to a 3.96 though, which blows heavy metal chunks, but what can you do? Apparently that’s still summa cum laude pretty much everywhere but the U of I (but I don’t go there anymore, so who cares). Also, it takes a special kind of idiot to do worse in calculus the second time they take it than the first. I seriously should be shot. But I guess I didn’t have the panic attack issue back then.

> I can’t buy any more books; my bookshelves look perfect the way they’re arranged now.

> My blood pressure is still consistently that of a dead person’s, despite my dumping several tablespoons of salt into the water I boil for my pasta. Aside from chugging shakers of salt like Red Bulls, I’m not sure what else I should do. I don’t eat a lot of things that lend themselves to “hey! Put salt on me!”

> I really want some Red Bull now.

> This list is somewhat positive, but now I’m getting really down for whatever reason, so I’ll stop.
