And I say heyyyyyyyyy

Hello! Tuesday will find me in Valparaiso! Early reports are starting to trickle in from my spies and this semester is looking quite favorable. I uploaded all my education files into my online portfolio that I had to do. Monday I have to show up sometime to turn in my final notebook and portfolio. Tuesday I have to take my health final and retrieve my art project. Then I am off! Sold back my books today and got a good chunk of my xmas shopping done. Might go to the mall later this evening to finish it up and to pick up batteries and ink cartridges.



MUSIC ALERT: DANKO JONES

Started listening to this band. Its heavy rock with some Blues fusion. It hits pretty hard and its been able to keep my energy level up for the end of the semester. Sometimes explicit, always loud, but very fun. Some of my favorites include "Dance", "Baby Hates Me", "Lovercall", and "Play the Blues". You can sample most of their stuff on youtube, though not all their songs have music videos, you should be able to find songs for them.



Today, I went into work early and worked for awhile and stayed then for the Leadership Lunch which our awesome bosses put on for us, they got food from Noodle Company. Then I went to sell my books. The guy scanned one of my books, saw it was worth much money, then proceeded to check it almost page for page for marks or tears. I was ready to grab his collar and yank him over the counter. It was just irritating. They already rip you off enough with trade in values, but it felt depreciating. He then looked up and was like,
"Did you touch this book at all this semester?"
"Yesssss."
"You didn't have to tear out any pages to use?"
"No... The book isn't a workbook, the pages aren't even perforated."

I think he sensed how annoyed I was because he picked up the pace for the rest of my books. He also shot a dirty look at the ecampus sticker that was on my art book (I had ordered it to save a little money) but i wasn't going to take no for an answer on that art book. Then I went on a magical xmas shopping journey for family.

Not much else new, everyone please have a great xmas and safe travels!

Really? I like this song? Sighhh....

You ever crave a certain song and dance all over your house/apartment to said song? However you know you really shouldn't like the song and are ashamed you like it? Well I blame the Elite Beat Agents
This fun music rhythm game for the DS exposed me couple years ago to La La by Ashlee Simpson... Well I havent played this game in a long time, and I gave my games and DS to Kyle, but I found my self craving this song. Soo... Itunes sometimes makes thing TOO easy. I would never buy an entire Ashlee Simpson album and be spared the humiliation... But nope, I can get the one song and feed my craving. So I have been rocking out all around the apartment to La La. I am very excited to go home. Valpo bound Tuesday the 16th. Prepare your selfs for those who live in Valparaiso. I debated linking La La for you, but no. Im not going to spread this disease. It's a bad song that I like. If your that interested, search for it your selfs. Save your selfs and don't!

This weekend was productive. There is just some small fry stuff here and there, last couple paragraphs to type and such. I smashed through Monday's work and took out several battallions worth of Tuesdays work. Everything is going according to plan. I make my retreat for now. Good luck and farewell.

Chemical mixing?!

So it's that time of year again! We are closing in on the last couple weeks of class for winter semester! I was up till 2:30 am last night working on report that I turned in today. I was actually quite proud of that report and interested to see the feedback I get on it. In other news, I am not so proud of my extreme measures I took to stay alive today. that would include...

this that I took last night (this morning) to get some sleep

Followed by this 3.5 hours later on my way to school to wake up.

Either or is fine and does not make me feel shameful. But going to bed with nyquil and then jump starting my self with an energy drink after only less than four hours of sleep? Not good. It shortwires my system. This is the type of thing I made fun of the freshman engineering students for doing my freshman year.. Darn you Karma... Everything comes full circle I suppose. So I could tell yesterday, but I have a slight head cold. I am surviving though. Just a pain.

Been watching a show that airs online with small webisodes called "The Guild" watchable at www.watchtheguild.com It's about a group of socially inept people who play an online game. Although they never directly state it, it's assumed to be World of Warcraft. It's quite entertaining and reminds me of my days when I (was/am/wish i could go back) addicted to Final Fantasy 11 Online. If any of you have seen Dr. Horrible, The Guild is written by Felicia Day who played Penny in Dr. Horrible. She is also the main star.

Looking forward to a pretty quiet weekend. Relaxing some, hanging out with friends, and putting the final touches on a few last projects here and there. Everyone take care!
