Midweek

December 15th, 2005

So it’s midweek of finals…and let me say I haven’t study before as much as I have this week. Maybe it’s because I can see an end in site…in fact, yes, that’s what it is. I think I was getting tired in school of rehashing things which I already knew from before. I mean, yea, I did learn some new things but pondering the ratio of learned : not learned, I would say it’s 80/20…

However, I can say that I’m graduating with a degree which is renowned throughout the US as being a good one. I’m graduating as a ‘well-rounded competent character…’. It’s nice to know that, seriously. And with my experience currently already under my belt, I should be pulling down some nice moola out of school. But here’s the point where my mind starts to go in the state of fright…I’M ABOUT TO FUCKING GRADUATE…HOLY SHIT! I’m at the point in life where everything could mean something, and anything might screw me over for the rest of my life.

Well, maybe that’s not the way to look at it. I’m about to graduate and get a good job, somewhere. I am, however, kinda scared about the process. I think I’m mostly scared at the prospect of actually landing myself a job that I like. Secondary to this, performing to my employer’s liking.

Aside from this fear, today I have my first final for INFSCI 1066-Internet Construction. All should go well with the final, but I’m fearful I might be missing some notes that the teacher will be testing on. I can, though, quiz myself on any of the answers and come out with the right one–I guess that’s a good sign :-D .

Here’s my slight rant for the day, just needed to get thoughts out before I head into my first test.

So it has begun, the days of endless sleep, complete immersion for studying, and well, the hope of making a good grade on all my finals. This week and the next are, seriously, going to be a pretty trying time.

Luckily I have saved up on my sleeping points…so I should be able to push through tireless times. So what am I going to need for this. Well, the essentials I’ve come up with so far: powerbook, comfy clothes, tea bags, money for coffee…oh yea, and some comfy shoes (most likely my birkenstock clogs).

Study sessions commence tomorrow…you’ll most likely find me lodged on the second floor of the Hillman library…steaming tea in hand.

Geocaching

September 19th, 2005

I finally got to try out geocaching this weekend…and…it was a blast. Brian and I actually did three different ones which all varied in intensity. The final one actually was quite tough cause we couldn’t find the mini-cache (a cache which leads to a different point)…it was too late so we headed home. All in all, we probably walked ~10 – 12 miles yesterday.

My sickness, however, held off until today. Renee has been sick all weekend with something of unknown cause. I’ve been trying to make her time at my house the easiest. But while doing that I caught what she had.

Oh well, more studying here…
