Well, I haven’t posted in ages, but I’ve been pretty busy. Midterms for 18 units of classes will do that. Plus last weekend with Ben’s wedding and this most recent weekend at home. All and all, I’ve had very little time. Worst of all, I haven’t played any kind of video game in the last 2 weeks, at all.

To everyone I saw over the weekend at home, I had a great time. Life has been a blur lately and the break was nice. Even with all the insanity of one midterm after the other I’m sure I’ll be able to pull through.

I rode a wave board today, its like a skate board with only two wheels, on pivots and you torque the board back and forth to move it forward. The thing was pretty cool. A bad youtube video of the thing in action can be found here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ywEEFgFXVXI&mode=related&search=

I’ll try to post more regularly.

Greeting again,

I finally have some academic news, I got my first quiz back from Greek today. The grade was 87%. I also have midterms coming up. EECS 10 tests this Friday, chemistry tests on Monday and I think the calculus midterm is next Friday. I’m not particularly worried about any of those, but we’ll see how well founded that is in a week or two.

I have also purchased a laptop. Aaron needed a Mac for work and was selling what he had. My new laptop is a Fujitsu with a Pentium M 1.73 GHz, a mobile ATI X300, 1.25 gigs of ram and a 60 gig hard drive. He gave me an amazing deal at $600.

Unless I get a lot more readers than I think I do, and even probably then, I miss all of you.

Thanks for reading.

Well, once again my writings have been sparse this week; my apologies once again.

I’m still having a good time here though. My cold is almost completely gone, my classes are much the same and I went skate boarding today. My new EECS homework came out tonight, so I’ll probably be giving that a try tonight as well.

I also just found out that as a student here I get free legal music downloads. And from what I’ve heard on the other people computers around here the quality is pretty good.

I talked to a guy today from my chem. class. He’s a third year student who is VERY excited about biology, especial stem cell applications. I had lunch with him today, and finally talked about science and tech wonders with someone here. Maybe we’ll do some neuro-sci stuff together at some point but in the mean time we can study chemistry.

I also wanted to thank Mrs. Shechet for a can of chili lime seasoning she gave me. I had an apple covered with it today.

Lastly congratulations to Jessica for catching up on her homework.
