So I don't know exactly how to gauge this but I'm very excited and very nervous about Africa. I leave in a week and spend a few days in London on the way there. It will be the first time taking this big of a trip by myself. I do know a few people who are accompanying us which will be good and I hope I can understand swahili while I'm in Tanzania. I've heard its an amazing place and the people are very friendly. Of course I'm mostly a friendly guy as well.
Being in Denver right now is very relaxing even though I haven't got to sleep in since I've been home with errands to run and whatnot. I feel very productive even though I really haven't achieved thta much studying and I am almost done with this bloody matlab project. I just wish I could adjust phase angles and make everything kosher but it doesnt work that way sometimes. It is nice and cool here, and it is good to see the family but all the problems always hit me in the face whenever I come home. I mean I love my family but sometimes my oldest sister just needs to learn how to get a clue really. I know she means well, and I'm glad she bought me the Spiderman 3 ticket today as well since it is usually me paying for everyone so I guess it is repayment for taking some exams of hers online earlier today and helping her move in. I dont know why i really did it, but hey I'm a good brother most of the time.
I was thinking to myself the other day as well that there are no mini-golf courses in Miami anywhere. I really think they need one and they would make a lot of money. I mean it is cheap thrills but it is relaxing and you can have a good conversation with a friend over some competition. What could be so bad about that?
So within the next week I have a lot of things to do. I get back to Miami tomorrow and I need to go to work to get some things done. I need to study for an exam, type up a report, pack, and say good bye to some good friends that I will miss a lot once they leave, namely the kappas and kappa sigs that I know. We have good memories of the rat and I hope everything for all you guys turns out well. I know I will keep in touch with most of you but its just one of those things that makes you all teary-eyed :)
