Woo, late again this week, thanks in part to extreme laziness on my end.  Of course, it helps that Sunday was the first time I'd been to my apartment in about 3 weeks.  But the real reason for the lateness is I've been playing around with my new toy.  I got an Xbox 360 for Christmas, so I've spent most of the work playing around with it.    So for ( Read more... )

    Being my last update 2009, I thinks it's an apt time to reflect on the year.  And what a year it was.  Quite frankly, I'm going to be a little sad to see 2009 go.  This year was my year;  It seemed like I could do no wrong.  I had incredible success is so much of what I tried to accomplish.  And I got a seemingly endless row of lucky breaks.  ( Read more... )

     So I've had a ton of times on my hand since school wrapped up for me, so I've been using the time to sneak in some quality gaming.  I'm still slogging away at Final Fantasy III, and I still have to clear the last few levels on New Super Mario Bros Wii, but I'm at my parents house and I left the Wii back in Milwaukee.   I've been spending the ( Read more... )

I turned in my last paper Tuesday, and so ends my first semester in Grad School. I have to say these last or three weeks have been mostly a paper writing blur to me. I had three major projects to finish up, and I can't remember how many smaller projects that mainly served to take away time from these major papers. Really didn't have time to do ( Read more... )

A very brief status update. I'm not where I wanted to be as of the last update, but I'm managing. I spent the majority of the weekend outlining a 20 page paper, and then making a powerpoint for that paper (using an open source powerpoint like program.) Did the report today. It went fell, except there were some major formating issues with my ( Read more... )

This is going to be a real short update. Basically, the next two weeks for me are going to be intense as hell. I have due a twenty page paper (that's mostly researched), a ten page paper (not researched), a final draft of a grant project that I'd say is half complete, and 3 different presentation, two of which are based on two of the ( Read more... )

Happy Thanksgiving! I've been up since 2pm yesterday watching the end of Desert Bus 3. It's been great, and I'm sorry to see it end, but I've been a bit lack on my school work, and it's hard to get anything done, cause I keep wanting to watch! After it ends, I head to my parents house. Woo, two and half hour drive on no sleep... Anyway, here's ( Read more... )

I've been looking forward to this weekend since about a year. Why? It's the third annual Desert Bus Hope! What is Desert Bus? Why it's the most awesome internet telethon ever! Basically a bunch of Canadians from Victoria BC are playing this extremely boring Sega CD game called Desert Bus. It was going to be a part of an unreleased Penn & ( Read more... )

Oh boy, did this week suck. Probably not the best words to open an update with, but its the truth. Can't think of a lot of good stuff that happened to me this week. A lot of it had to do with a paper that I utterly despised. I wasn't too interested it what it was about personally, but I pretty much had to go forward, as I had already spent ( Read more... )

    Ah, what a week I've had.  Earlier this week, I experienced the first real stress breakdown of the semester.  I felt sicker than hell, but I wasn't ill with anything.  All weekend long, I had been working on a paper. All weekend long, I had been working on a rough draft that was due on Monday.  Unfortunately, Sunday evening rolled around, and I ( Read more... )
