The Eye of the Hurricane

Well, I finally feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Classes are basically over, my projects are done, and no more regular exams. Thursday and Friday I am going to spend with "the beer guy".

Even though I feel free right now, I know starting monday morning at 7:45 Final exams start. What shall I do with my time while I am in this calm time before hell is unleashed again? I have a few options: Study and be prepared for exams, Party and have fun, Hang out and play video games & watch movies, or Do nothing and stare at the wall. Although I know what the smart choice should be, I got a feeling it will be the last 2 options. Thursday and Friday are for fun and then Sat and Sun for work/studying. But we all know I dont really study. I will end up sitting there in a blank stare, and after staying up hours later than I should I will say "Screw it, if I know it I know it." (am I right Nick?)

Now, lets look at school and compare it to my hurricane. The eye is the calm part. That is where I am at now. The storm front has already passed and done a lot of damage (projects and tests). After the eye goes by, the storm hits again, this is what causes most damage in a hurricane (final exams). The main difference between the 2 is that a real hurricane can actually cause death, my exams can't.

In other news, hmm actually now that I think of it, there isnt any other news in my life than school. Hmm, thursday is the 3B bar crawl starting at 2pm, and on Friday it is Lauren's B-day. Those who want to go out are free to join. It will be fun to get a good sized group to go out on friday.

Cheers!

8 Days left of the semester

Where are you taking me?

Wow, I found a little break today to make a post in here. Today has been a long day. It all started last night, when I had to stay in the EB till 3am working on a project. Then I had class that started at 8am(I say had because i slept in and missed it).
During break between classes I ate some Taco Bell, and the only reason being the line to Wendy's was hella long, and there was only 1 person in the Taco Bell line. Yea, I know what you are thinking: "I bet I know why there was only 1 person in that line..." Well, I was suprised, I got a 1/2 lb beef combo burrito, 2 double decker tacos, nachos, and a water. What can I say, I was hungry. And the suprise was, the burrito was probably close to 1/2 lb, and the tacos were full. I go and sit down and start to chow. It didnt taste too bad (for being taco bell). On one of my "fire" hot sause packages it said "Where are you taking me?"
Immediately my mind running on 3 hours of sleep begins wandering, thinking of this title. I go and relate it to college. "Where will I end up with college?" "Where are all my friends going to be?" " ehh, I dont feel like thinking anymore, because i am le tired"
Now a few hours after eating that hot sauce I got it figured out...where am I taking this sauce...to the can. That Taco Bell has exploded in my stomach. I just have to wait to get home to do my business (too much info? it could be a lot worse). This reminds me of exactly why I dont eat at Taco Bell much, and why that line only had 1 person in it.

Countdown till this semester is over: 10 Days

Time Management

So, I had a big presentation today. I thought that my groups presentation was the best of the 6 others that I have seen. I talked to the TA and she said she would give us around a 90% which I think is pretty good. Bad news is she said there was a group or 2 earlier in the day that was better. I am definately glad that is over with...I have spend so much time on that damn thing.
So yea, I still have 2 projects due, 2 presentations, 2 exams, then 5 finals. At least I think that is all I have. Wait I just said "all I have", that is a crap ton. I have to do school work all weekend long too...School on the weekends...i think that was in revelation even wasnt it...

tomorrow I know I have an exam and homework due, have I started my homework, or even studied for my exam..hahaha, hell no. I have had about 3-4 hours to do it and what did I do? I took a nap, ate, watched a bit of TV, and sat online and posted this.

Some other bad news: the highest temperature between Saturday and sunday is supposed to be 41 degrees..WTF M8. I need money for one, and I wanted to talk to the one girl that comes in. If I work (which I dont think I will) I am pretty sure she wont come out. If she does, that definately means she wants to hook up.

I just wish that sometimes time could freeze. Everything could just stop, but I could move around and do as I please. Catch up on some sleep, sit down and play video games, and be able to enjoy my time with out having to worry about what I should be doing, or how much time do I have. Life is too short to live with deadlines and schedules, but it is all how we live our lives (with the exception of bums, but I like to eat and have a home). And that just makes me think of a quote I will end with:

"Well you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do shit." - Lawrence, Office Space

An ending in sight?

Well, no sleep last night, little to come tonight. Presentation tomorrow. Exam Friday, 2 more exams next week along with 2 presentations. Then Finals.

Reporting in

Well, I have not been sleeping much. 17 total hours over the past 4 nights, and that is with 7 hours in 1 night and 6 hours in another. Reason being college can suck it. I do have some good news though, and oddly it has to do with work. I have been talking to a girl at work the past 2 weekends, and it seems to be going pretty good (other than when 2 guys completely cock blocked, but that is a different story). I plan on seeing if she wants to hang out after finals are done and over with. I was going to ask her this past weekend but then there was a cock blocking. I will talk to her this upcoming weekend unless it rains all weekend long.
I am getting to the point with college where it feels like I am on the ground and getting kicked. For about 1 hour I felt like I was going to be able to get up and take a break, and then up came a mexican (exam friday I have to study for) and hit me from behind to knock me back down. Then in came the rest of the gang again to beat me senseless (more project work and homework).

A New Beginning

Well, while sitting here watching Conan and thinking of all the homework I should be doing, I decided to make my own Blog. Posting my start off a bit slow since I have a ton of school work I should be doing.
I got a feeling that this is going to be a simple blog. I am not going to add much to this to make it all fancy, nor will I get too deep into subjects (no guarantees). Unlike some people (cough, cough, mark, cough) I won't be using big words, not that big words are bad things—I just dont know many.
Todays Happenings:
Unlike yesterday, today I woke up in a decent mood. My day however, wasn't a good one. I met with a group to realize how much work we actually have to do, and it is a lot more than we thought. Then later in the day I had an exam. I really didn't study for this exam, but thought I knew what was going on. This exam KILLED me. The professor made the exam insainly harder than it should have been. She mixed in trick questions and put in some of those "big" words that I didn't understand. Then to top it off there were some true/false questions that could be both under different circumstances. I am going to try to have a good talk with my prof next week, and if I end up with a bad grade on this exam I will be PISSED.
Anyway, so I leave this exam and go home. I was hungry and upset. Half-way home I remember I was supposed to meet up someone in a different group to do some work. Not being in a good mood, I decided not to turn my car around (2nd reason is gas prices are too high). I got home and decided to email her. Luckily she wasnt too pissed, but it just piles up more work for me to do over this weekend.
Well, I should actually get to doing homework. I may just pull off an all nighter tonight or just say screw getting all of my homework done. Somehow I feel the ladder will be my final decision.
