This is what my typical day looks like: wake up at 8 am, sit in front of the computer for most of the day, study for a few hours, and of course have [...]]]></description>

Unfortunately, due to lack of time, I&#8217;ve played it very little and my improvements have been very marginal. I&#8217;ve had quite a lot of time to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To be honest, I&#8217;ve never written out to-do lists until the beginning of this semester. I&#8217;m pretty sure I didn&#8217;t because I felt my memory was good enough to remember what I needed to get done on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Last semester&#8217;s results seem to have proven otherwise.
I am aware that Mac OS X comes [...]]]></description>

My new project is making a totally new website for NAUTY, a student-run organization at my university that organizes events promoting &#8220;greater cultural understanding and integration.&#8221; 
Basically, they make the best on-campus parties.
The website has been pretty much inactive since 2006/2007 and my job is to bring it back to life. Hence, I&#8217;ve decided to [...]]]></description>

I guess it&#8217;s not too surprising that with time, the websites I most commonly visit have changed, somewhat anyway. And because yours truly wants to keep this blog alive by updating it with content &#8211; [...]]]></description>
