update out of left field
since i am currently fighting off some insomnia before my first final exam of the semester...decided i would go ahead and update finally.
This semester was a rough one, my CS classes finally challenged me...which i am very excited about and at the same time worried.
Side story with that, after over 4.5 years of time together, Primal Dominion put down their raiding gear and called it quits. We all just came to that point in our lives and college careers that we couldn't devote the time needed to raid anymore. So with that most of us canceled our accounts and picked up playing some occasional matches of Left 4 Dead with each other. I've made some really awesome friends through WoW over the years, met over half of them in real life as well and we continue to keep in touch even after we part ways in game. We left the guild name intact in game and most of the officers left all their characters there for posterity since none of us would ever consider selling off the hard work of so many of our collective nights.
But moving on, back to school stuff. This semester once i ditched my nagging addiction i was able to focus on my studies for the first time in a LONG time. It felt good and was amazing to see how much free time i now have...which led to a new addiction, TV shows i have missed over the past 2 years or so. But now that the semester is coming to a close, i think i will come out fairly decently this semester. I have my next/last 2 years of college all mapped out ahead of me and can start to see a light at the end of that tunnel.
I still haven't heard from HP yet to know for certain if i am coming to work with them again this summer. I certainly hope so, since the CS main department is giving me hell over counting that last one for upper division CS elective credit, despite the advising office telling me it was a sure thing.
But currently i am looking over some last notes before my Advanced Programming final today at 1:30pm. Insomnia is taking over and i figure the best course instead of playing an Xbox360 game or more TV was to crack open the C programming book again till it makes me pass out.
My last final will be on Friday at 730am, gotta give a group presentation for Business Communications...i volunteered to be the group leader and it has been nothing but a headache. But my parents are coming up that afternoon to help me get all my stuff packed to come back to Houston for the summer. I have recently purchased a new HD flat screen TV and bringing that home along with my computers, consoles, clothes, games, etc...just won't fit in my car alone.
I know Linh is excited to have me back really soon. Hopefully me and her and the rest of the Houston crew can get together really soon and hang out. I plan to hang out as much as i can with Kristen and Frances this summer since Fran is leaving for her dream school in August when i head back to SA, and Kristen will be getting married in December and likely be moving to be with Chris where he is stationed. Which means i won't get to see her all that often anymore. And then definately need to see Rach since her birthday is coming up really, really soon.
But other than the summer and the remainder of my college classes...the rest of my future remains kind of unknown to me at the moment. All i know is once i get out i am gonna be massively in debt from all these student loans, depending on how things go with HP...i might have a job there but as things look for now i am not even gonna hold my breath. i can imagine so many routes and the like...but it's kinda unnerving. I've always liked to have a plan in place for myself, but now that i do for the short term/semi long term...i'm kind of anxious about it all...
ANYWAYS...gonna get back to some more studying. I'm gonna be dreaming of segmentation faults...i can feel it.
