Merry Christmas to you all.

Cold

It's way, way to cold outside right now. According to Trillian it's -9 outside right now. It's so cold I'm keeping a gallon bucket of icecream frozen by my window! I stuck a Big Mikes Super Sub by my window last night to keep it cool, instead it froze and I got a frosty sub. Took a minute in the microwave to thaw it. All my pop on my window sill froze solid too. It's so dang cold that when I headed out for breakfast I almost got frostbite on a two minute walk.

This is the type of weather that makes you go. WHY IN THE HELL DID ANYONE STOP IN MINNESOTA OR WISCONSIN? Was the east cost to warm? Gave up going all the way to sunny CA? Speaking of CA Trillian tells me its a warm 50 in Mountain View right now. Makes me want to head back out there.

Finals Done!

Finals are now over. I have finished all those annoying tests and papers! My CS 520 final went terrible, I thought I knew what is was like to fail. Well now I know. If I'm lucky I'll pull off a 40%, I'm really, really, hoping the curve pulls up my grade otherwise I can say goodbye to good GPA and grad school :(.

Theory of Computation aside my other tests went pretty well. Apparently I got an A on my 7:45am final! Yeah!

Two Down One to Go

Well I finished my two finals for the day. How did they go? Easy as easymac (btw I've never made these crappy things). I put in a whole 20 minutes of studying for my second final, and boy I thought it was easy. Either that or I failed it.

One Down Two to Go

Got done with my ECE553 final around 9:25 or so. It turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would. I look at my notesheets like twice, and even then it was just to confirm something I already knew. Of course the T/F section at the begining probably screwed me over especially as I changed an answer to something incorrect. My ECE 551 final is coming up soon at 12:25. Maybe I should study or at LEAST make a notesheet for this one.

Test Time

I've finally reached that point in finals week when I actually have a test. That's right starting at 7:45 am my tests begin! I know, I know that's way to early to go to class let alone stay awake and think. But do I have a choice? Nope, I just lucked out with such an early class aren't you jealous?

Considering "finals" started Thursday evening you would think I'd be all studied up for the test. Guess what I'm not. I started my studying today and maybe got in a good 5 hours for ALL my classes. So in reality I really haven't studied at all. Ohh well go figure. I hope I get up early enough tomorrow. At least final number 2 isn't until 12 tomorrow so I have time to make a notesheet!

Finals

Well I'm supposed to be studying for finals. Guess what I can't get anything done because I am easily distracted. It's really really annoying. Can anyone suggest a decent way to keep on task? Because I certainly cannot do that.

Finals Week! AKA Game Time

Here at Madison, we have entered Finals Week. This is the time where many students get all stressed out about exams and stuff. Me? I play video games instead of work.

In an ironic twist of fate KotOR II: The Sith Lords has come out. Why is this ironic? This time last year KotOR came out and basically ruined my GPA. It is solely responsible for a B I got in AI as I played this game for about 3 straight days instead of studying (Yeah, Yeah a B doesn't "ruin" your GPA but it does mine). Why does God hate me so?

Probably my most hated class is stupid Afro Am Studies? Why do I hate this. It makes me write a papers. Papers are an evil that I have avoided since freshman year and so I am TERRIBLE at writing them. Not to mention the fact I need to try and come up with 10 pages of stuff to write on. This isn't easy for Engineers.

Where's the Snow

Well it has been awhile since me last post. Nothing like being way to busy to do anything. Most of my grad school apps are now in, all that's left is for some people to submit some letters of recommendation.

In other news it looks like all those Job Interviews were a waste of time. Sure I ended up with offers from all (except MS, Google) but I think I will do the grad school Thang. I even declined Oracle making me an offer. God I feel stupid now but it's not like I really want to develop software apps. I want to be a little more low level, and designing software for missle Wing-Extenders for Lockheed didn't really appeal to me. (Florida is to hot).
