.. a semester later.

i know its been a LONG time since i've even logged on here! school is keeping me very busy!! my last week is next week, and then its finals! After that is a LOT of exciting stuff, and some not-so exciting stuff.

after my very last final of the semester i get to move to my OWN place, which i'm totally excited about!! New furniture, a bed that hasnt been used by college kids for the last 13 years (i'm serious, thats how old these beds are..), no nasty roommate. I'm also excited to hang up my Dark Knight (the new batman movie) poster, which has the late Heath Ledger on it as the Joker. I just so happened to order this poster the day he died, within hours it went to 50$, and it is a AMAZING poster. Then its my birthday, the big 2-1! Then the red sox game, in which i can flash my newly legal i.d. and have a beer!

In July The Dark Knight comes out!! This movie is going to be so awesome, and the way they're advertising it (via the internet, its this whole viral campaign thing..), just makes the anticipation worse. Me and my friend are gonna try and go to the midnight showing of it, and have a batman marathon prior to it! I finally found someone as nerdy as me who can sit through them all! I made her a batman cake for her birthday! The coolest cake I ever made..

But before all that fun stuff, i still have 4 tests, a project, and a paper to write. Although my project is stressful, I'm having fun with it. For my lab class we got to pick a project (with the professors approval of course) to make and present to the class. My group is making a effects pedal for a guitar. In laymens terms, a pedal that can switch the guitar from the clean sound to the sound you hear in pretty much all rock songs (think AC/DC...). Its been a pain (moreso getting my partner to cooperate..), but when we finally got to hear it, it was so cool. Which brings me to my updated amazon wishlist if you need any ideas for a certain date coming up in a little over a month :p

Unfortunately I have been forced to take summer school. I was planning on having summer off to just work and rest my brain, but the school felt differently. They scheduled 3 classes I need to take all at the exact same time for the fall. Due to pre-reqs i HAD to sign up for summer school otherwise I wouldnt be able to have a full time schedule for the fall and the rest of my semesters would end up screwed up and most likely delay my graduation :s . But its only 1 class, my advisor was trying to make me do 2, but I opted not to. The way I have it now is that next summer I'll be off, and in the fall (my last semester!!) i'll just be taking 9 hours, so I'll have more time to concentrate on my sr. design project. Plus I'll have all summer to work on my sr. design project as well.

Oh yea, heres the BIG bummer, school starts on my birthday!! It couldn't have happened on any other birthday, but THIS one! From what I hear this is somewhat of a important one! Plus my class is at night, who wants to spend the night of their 21st sitting in a classroom...
