My Life So Far

By jplaj
  • Dawn of Time

  • Beginning of Kindergarten

    Hello, Mr. Ball. My name is Jacob.
  • High School Graduation

    Yet when I suggested the theme to "2001: A Space Odyssey" for our class song, no one understood why.
  • 9-11

    My hopes of remaining non-partisan forever shatter into a million pieces.
  • College Graduation

    Two weeks later, I was on a plane bound for Korea. It was then that I learned I really hate flying.
  • Vacation to Guam!

    What do you even call them? The Guamish? Guambats? Guammi Bears? Climbed Mt. Lamlam, one of, if not the, most tallest mountains on earth.
  • New Year's Eve: Taiwan

    Waiting for the fireworks, I sample some of the wontons with friends I'm visiting. Together with my friend's sister, we begin to feel a little dizzy when the countown begins.
  • New Year's Day: Taiwan

    Tiffany and I get to experience the Taiwanese medical system firsthand. Spending eight hours hooked up to an IV isn't fun, but seriously...if you get sick, you'll want to leave the U.S. and go to Taiwan to do it.
  • Return to Jotunheim: Land of the Giants

    A.K.A. The United States. Have to readjust to restaurants expecting you to tip waiters.
  • Grad School

    Okay...I'm a student again.
  • Graduation: Part 2

    Hooray! I'm not a student anymore! Never again!
  • Summer Session: Post Bac Program

    Ah, crap...
  • Back to the Future: Part II Day

    Nope. All those memes you've seen on Facebook the last two years were wrong. It's today.
