393 days ago, my Facebook account (FOLLOW ME) was compromised along with many others as part of a sophisticated hack originating in the Chrome Browser extension store.
Tonight I had my first speech in speech class. It was 3 minutes long. TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF ~3 minute speeches is grueling! Talk about mind numbing. Don’t get me wrong. There were plenty of good ones. I enjoyed listening to most of them…but short speech after short speech was just…ugh. My first…
So my Chemistry.com subscription is over. It was a present for Christmas. Now first don’t get me wrong. I appreciate the present. In fact, it was my choice to decide which site to use it on. Man I wish I had thought about it. Chemistry.com has got to be one of the single most terrible…
A God you can agree with……is generally not a God but an idol of your own imagination.
In reality, there is, perhaps, no one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride.

Hope all is well. Don’t be a stranger!
