Hey everyone. The study abroad group at SFSU is going to host a photography exhibition of pictures we took while in our foreign countries. If you felt like it, you could go to flickr.com/photos/laurakonner and either comment there on photos you think I should send in, or you could reply to this entry with the title of the photo.
Any help you'd like to give would be awesome.
Love!

Despite being Columbus Day, we were actually pretty busy at work. I wrote 3 policies!! One was an all new customer!
Yesterday we went pumpkin picking and then apple picking. It was lots of fun and pictures will be posted soon! Afterward, my grandma treated me and Chris to dinner. I opted for Denny's. I love their Boca Western Burger. Mmmm!! It has onion rings on top!!
I work tomorrow from 8-4:30. Then I must go animal shopping
Final debate on Wednesday.
We're going to see Holly + Eric soon!! <33

I'm keeping quiet till they're no more sirens. lately it's hard to keep the hinges on with all the noise. I found my words when there was no one talking. the room is spinning, I have got no choice. be patient, I am getting to the point.
I can't remember when the earth turned slowly. so i just waited with the lights turned out again. I lost my place but I can't stop this story. I found my way but until then, I'm only spinning.
I'm keeping quiet till the phone stops ringing. lately it's hard to disconnect; I just want something real. I found the words, if i can just stop thinking. the room is spinning, i have got no choice. be patient, I am getting to the point.
spin; beneath the rooftop. hold on, wait until the room stops spinning.
I can't remember when the earth turned slowly. so i just waited with the lights turned out again. I lost my place but I can't stop this story. I found my way but in the end we're only spinning. I'm only spinning.

"I think I've found a way to express my problem with this method that'll make sense to you." "Go on?" "Well you've done some neural networking research, yeah?" "Yes" "You know how you don't use the same data as your training data and your test data" "Sometimes, yes" "Sometimes?" "Well often you can use the same data for both" "By splitting it down and using half as training data and half as test data?" "Engineering techniques like cross-validation haven't really filtered through to psychology yet" "What's cross validation?" (blonde moment by me) "What you just described" "Oh, so what do we do instead of cross validation?" "Not doing cross validation" "..." "..." "Really?" "That's how most papers in the field are written" "Aren't we worried about overfitting?" "Not really"
This sort of thing terrifies me.

Q's from mondaysabitch |
[13 Oct 2008|03:16pm] |
The Name Game (On Crack) V 2.0
1. You are the founder of a new scientific lab for medical research. What do you name it? 2. You begin a sexual affair with one of your co-workers. What do you name their genitals? 3. The unfortunate result of this affair is that you discover a new disease on your lab partner's genitals. What are the symptoms and what do you call it? 4. The disease turns into an epidemic that almost wipes out the population of your city. What do you call this sad day to commemorate it? 5. After efforts to control the disease are unsuccessful, the human race is forced to relocate to a new planet. As the founder of the lab which was responsible for discovering the disease that destroyed humanity, the task of naming this planet falls to you. What do you name it?

I'm waiting for Thanksgiving dinner with da fam to start so I'm just chillin hurr doing my religion. Yesterday I had an intense dream after watching Garden State; Daniela and I were at Rutgers University and it had its own train station and we got Coldplay tickets but last minute Dani changed her mind and decided to see N'SYNC. When I woke up I was actually angry at her but reality later sunk in.
I thought about what would happen if I become pregnant and I spaced out for a really long time. Bianca's right, pregnancy means you're totally fucked.
Reach for ze top starts this week and I'm still debating whether or not I should go. Hmm hmmmmm hmmmmm oh my mom saw the pictures that Bianca and Daria gave me and she put them on display in the basement. Wonderful! Oh and then my mom was going through the yearbook and she pointed out that Adrian looks like David Archuleta. I started laughing really hard and I hit my funny bone on the table
Uhhhhh what else is there to talk about.. um ummmm I'm trying to grow out my bangs but I'm so tempted to cut them right now. I'm also tempted to cut my hair again but at the same time I'm tired of short hair.
I would also really like to earn sum bank soon.......
( Just a reminder )

1 - Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
If you want to do this again, you'll hit refresh to generate new quotes, because clicking the quotes link again will just give you the same quotes over and over again.
3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
My band is Labi Siffreand our first album is called: Do Not Help Themselves

That's kinda cool.

All I want to do right now is get on a plane, or a bus, or hijack a car and go to North Carolina and see Matt, Meisha, and Maddy. I want to hug my bubby and my sister-in-law, and tickle Maddy and hear her sweet little voice. I just want to play with her and see how her face just absolutely lights up over the smallest things, like jumping in her bouncer or hearing her daddy play guitar. I want to read Maddy stories, and play Lego Batman with Matt and Meisha.
I miss them so much and it's killing me not getting to be the aunt I want to be.

| Wedding: It was all a blur... |
[13 Oct 2008|12:19pm] |
Part of me doesn't even want to post about this, at least not until I can watch the video so I can make sure to thank everyone who deserves thanks...
Friday Zoomed over to Titlow Lodge directly from work; got there early. Ran through the rehearsal, then went to dinner. YAY for good food, good friends, family I haven't seen in years!!
Saturday (I will forget to mention things here. If you are a part of the forgotten, please note that I'm not doing it on purpose. Everything seems to be a blur in my memory.) Thank you to everyone who helped get the place set up. The ceremony was wonderful and the reception was ultra-fun!
( Thank you's )
So much happend so fast. I'm so glad we got video. Everyone always says you won't remember everything, I thought "sure I will", but holy crap, I don't. Kat, when you walked through the curtains... I almost burst into tears! I'm so glad we kept to the tradition of not seeing each other before the ceremony!
Food was awesome! Servers were like ninjas, swiftly and silently setting up, clearing dishes, and disappearing into the night. Cake was outstanding! Sorry about getting it in your hair and up your nose, Kat... but you started it! :p
We were picking birdseed out of... er, well... EVERYWHERE! I even had birdseed bouncing off my teeth! LOL I feel sorry for the cleanup crew at the hotel we stayed at.
Thank you Everyone for helping to make our day truly memorable!!
Sunday What the hell do we do now?! We've been planning this wedding for over a year... and now, it's... it's... Done. It's a huge weight off our shoulders, but now things just feel surreal. I think this is why people usually take their honeymoons immediately following the wedding. To have a slow return to reality (getting married, I swear, makes you feel high!).
Definitely looking forward to our honeymoon in a couple weeks.
There were a few presents from whom we cannot identify. If you gave us a present, and might not have attached a card or note, please let us know what you got us, so we can get out the appropriate thank you cards! :)
Off the top of my head, unidentified presents included: A book by Dan Savage An awesome woodworked plaque A ceiling fan for our tent. I'll try to get a more complete list in the future (if there are other unidentified presents, Kat has the list).

In the last three-four years, I think I have one true regret.
I wish I hadn't been so nosy. It's really hard sitting here like I don't know what was said, and how similar things sounded, and how easy it was for you to lie to me.
I think if I didn't know all that crap, I wouldn't be so randomly insecure about things.
Meh. I sabotage myself really well, sometimes way in advance.

| so what |
[12 Oct 2008|02:21pm] |
today i feel like i dont care who wins the election. and it has nothing to do with the election or with the country or with my huge hardon for the democratic party. or maybe more like my raging hardon for saying fuck you to the republican party... whatever.
i just feel shitty and i wish i didnt have to deal with reality. i dont want to kill myself. i just dont want to exist anymore.
its weighing me down and its hard to move.

I spend far too much of my time wishing I were in Forks. Two hours this morning. Two hours of my life on twilight related activities. These are the days I KNOW I'm going to be a writer.
