Hello folks in LJ world. Or rather just the people who have me on their friends page. It's been a while(obligatory statement.) So I owe yall an update. The title suggests hard times. I've just been so inundated with work lately. Every week has been bad. I sleep on average 3 hours a night, get up at the ass-crack of dawn(7:30 in my book,) then take ( Read more... )

So classes started wednesday for me. Things were busy, but all is well. I go from 9 am to 2 pm every day. Classes are good. Good profs, interesting classes, and a lot of familiar faces in the civil engineering classes. The bus ride is kinda long, and can be crowded at certain times, but it beats driving. PLus the stop is right outside my complex ( Read more... )

This is David, coming to you from Austin, TX. I feel a reason to update more since I'm away from yall. I moved into my apartment on tuesday. It was unfurnished and on the 2nd floor, so I thought moving in would suck b/c I had a couch, entertainment center, etc. But it actually wasn't bad at all. I had tried to bring this bed frame that I bought at ( Read more... )

So last night my roomate and I went and saw my favorite band, In Flames. It was, in a word, awesome. The venue was really small, but they packed a crazy amount of people in there. So after the first two opening bands came the two bands I really wanted to see, Trivium and In Flames. Trivium really suprised me. I expected them to be good, but they ( Read more... )

since I've updated. But it's the new semester and I owe yall an update from my little world. So classes are pretty good. It's a reasonable load, profs are good, and the schedule is great. No class until 1 on MWF. El Sleepo strikes again! Class at 9:30 on Tu/Thurs, but I've had worse. And no marching practice gives me all this free time. I do have ( Read more... )

So here's the deal with the bowl mania. You have to do your picks before Dec 20th, b/c that's when the bowls start. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier. And you do all 28 picks at once, so it's not a lot to keep up with. Anyways, that is all.

That's right, it's about time for bowl season, so me and my roomy are starting a college bowl mania game on espn.com. The rules are pretty simple. It lists 28 bowls, you pick the winners. There's no spread, but you have to put how confident you are. Confidence ranges from 1 to 28, with 28 being the most confident. For example, if you pick Notre ( Read more... )

So yeah, I am fortunate enough to go to the Rose Bowl again, so that should be awesome. Both the trip and game should be great. Anyways, I'm playing in the LHB Holiday Party jazz band. I'm playing bass and switching off with another guy in the tuba section, so that should be cool. I reckon I could play guitar, but bass is just more convenient, and ( Read more... )

Man, I haven't updated in a long time. Funny, I start every entry saying how it's been a while since I've last posted. I guess I should just post more often. But anyways, I have been extremely busy this semester. Classes are just so demanding and being in band doesn't alleviate that one bit. But that's ok, cuz band is awesome. Anyways, all in all, ( Read more... )
