Busy Busy Bumble Bees (not the game) (tm)
so I know you still read this...yea i mean *you*...just havnt felt like typing in a while so i havnt had much to say...even tho its not much to say anyway i still do...hey...you dont have to read this...but every once and a while its interesting so you do anyway...see...youre reading...
anyway...Ive been busy lately...working every day at the village of mount kisco doing traffic engineering stuff 8:30-4:30...i can't believe it but already my name is going to be on a traffic promulgation eliminating parking on grove st once a week for 3 hours...thats a good "i cant believe it" but a bad one too since thats not a popular thing to have your name on...my name will be on plenty of other good things soon enough...keep an eye out for changes to the main street corridor...ive been in contact with the NYS DOT and they are ready to work ;-)
i just drafted the letter about no parking today and it will probably be sent out this week...then i wait for the masses of letters back from people complaining...but i tried to show them the good side...clean streets...less commuters and business employees parking in front of their houses...stuff like that...well see...im still expecting at least 7 letters back...then it gets sent to the board and then approved...then i make sure signs are posted and it becomes effective in 10 days...kinda weird to be in charge of this...and i literally am...no one is giving me direction or guiding me other than shoves in the general direction once a week...
but work is good...i finally have a computer that works and (i think) is stable...finally...2 weeks with this junky computer...and IM the one telling the computer guy whats wrong with it...guess those 3 years at bedford central at T.S.C. paid off :-P
so other than work theres been class...yes i know the only reason im taking class this summer is because i failed class during the "school year"...but either way it is sucking up a good deal of time...and the professor is horrible...the class pretty much teaches the class...the professor just makes mistakes and asks questions to the class...you know...those rhetorical questions that they ask...except this guy actually wants (maybe even needs) an answer...and he is actually a "professor" too WITH a phd...hes doing research on gravity....what a crazy guy...he cant even consistently write down what gravity is during the course of a problem...9.80 or 9.81? make up your mind! (not worth $3,532.00 if you ask me)...but at least its about 14 thousand times easier than CMU...
and other than that ive been busy doing the homework and labs for that class and all the stuff around the house that i apparently havnt done while i was away in pittsburgh...wonder why...it seems like there are endless things i have to do that only get done when im around...it really concerns me what will happen in 20 years...will the house fall down?
and other than that (this is down to about 10 minutes out of every 24 hours now) ive been enjoying being home, being close to manhattan again, and seeing some friends as well...and i think i only have another 4 weeks of class too so i'll start to have even more free time after that...
not to mention various long trips that will take place this summer to pittsbugh with my sister (for her orientation and so i can move some stuff into my house) and then reading with pete to keep with a tradition and who knows what else could happen...this summer sure is busy
and randomly switching topics now...i was going through some of the things ive written...its really interesting to see how eloquent (at least i think so) some of the things ive written have been...and also how completely -not- eloquent some of the other things have been....it really proves how my mind just is all over the place all the time...not sure if thats such a great thing yet...but at least i keep myself occupied...and probably keep a few people entertained as well :-P
anyway...its been long enough...and of course ive got lab work to do for class tomorrow...oh yea and our first exam too...
I'll probably hit 5,000 soon too...
