Ok, so back to the weekend...

Nel-Dogg came down Friday night and bought 8 cases of Bud Light Tall boys which where finished off shortly after midnight i believe. I started the night off by playing Drunk Driver (the card game not the car). Went through 2 beers and almost a full deck before I finished. Good 10 minute game! Spent the night wandering the house not sticking any one place for very long. I spent the whole night with a beer in my hand so the end is pretty foggy. I'm pretty sure I spent some time on the front porch and tv room as the night was coming to a close, but who knows!! I went to bed around 4 am.

Amber had initiation all day on Saturday so I didn't get to see or talk to her all day. Woke up around 1:30-2 and went to 1st Wok. Then around 5 we left for Indy to go to the Indianapolis Ice game. Me and Frankie stood in line for about 45 minutes to get Sterling Marlin's autograph on a can coozy, Coors Light 6-pack case, and a license plate. Sterling won the Daytona 500 twice. After the hockey game we went to Hooters which is always a good time. Our table ate 150 wings and drank 6 or 8 pitchers of beer. And it was the first time in a long time that we had a good looking waitress...not the quickest...but you really don't go for the service....let just say I was impressed that her tank top was able to hold on....Then the hour drive back to the house. We got back to the house and more drinking was in order. Dulin was around so he has some Rolling Rock to consume. A few games of flippy cup/survivor were played. I had one good, one horrible game. Another night of wandering, drinking, and hanging out. We played Carpet Ride about 2 hours too late but still had a blast with it...I ended up covered in mud but other than that a great time!! Bed that night was around 5 am.

Finally got to hang out with Amber again on Sunday, though spent much of the day sleeping. Then we watched the two Championship games...Go Pats!! Go Cats!!!!

Yet another week down and another beginning of another...

Panther are going to the Super Bowl!!! (and the colts aren't!) The Patroits are making an impressive 3rd showing out of the last 7 years.

Really don't have too much to say this time around..... I'll tell more about the weekend when I get a chance

So a few more days have past, a few more things to worry about.

School is winding down, well winding up with projects but coming closer and closer to an end.

I had an revelation the other day about what I may end up doing in the future (read: after May) I think I might go to grad school for business, yes, get my MBA be one of the business types, I think that would increase my chanced of getting a real job a great deal, especially since my engineering grades aren't where I would like them, and since I am planning on taking over for my dad with Slumberland Furniture someday, this would kinda kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Plus added bonus is that I should be able to complete it in less than a year. I was looking through the paper work on UNI's webpage and it sounds extremely interesting and very very easy, especially compared to my engineering stuff I've been doing for the past 3 years. The only hitch may be letting them overlook their "prerequisites" Most of which consist of remedial math and computing with some management and econ and stats stuff, most of which I've dealt with in the past. So ideally I'll be able to BS to the head of the MBA department and say how I may not be an expert at the concepts in those classes, I am familar with the topics and will be able to hold my own in the graduate level courses after graduating from a school like Rose-Hulman. So we'll see how far this takes me before I run into a brick wall and go from there....

Another week gone by...for some reason this week just flew by....its amazing how fast time goes when you don't do anything!! Well bomb a test and care even less is something I guess. I really need to figure out how to get through all this shit in my head before I completely implode on myself and get myself in a hole I can't get out of....

I hate how I can never let myself be happy....

Ok so its good to be back kinda....I enjoy being able to party and just crash and not worry about driving home or feeling awkward in asking someone if I could stay at their place.

Been updating my webpage. Though I need suggestions on what to do to make it better and to add to my lists. So contact me if you have any thoughts.

I'm gonna be starting a second blog thing in the near future...rather than it telling what I'm doing its gonna be more of a prayer board type thing: who I'm thinking about or needing or wanting. That kinda thing, we'll see how it works and who I give the link to.

Christmas break is over, classes started today. Boo!!!

I get to see Amber though, YAY!!!

But I don't get to see Denean anymore...boy my life is full of ups and downs.

Break was relatively uneventful. Spent the first week with my family and the second working at AJs, the place I've been working on and off for the last 4+ years. Its really sad that I not work for months/years and still not forget anything!! I made $300 so it made it worth while.
I got my GameCube and a couple games, a bunch of candy and little electronic games, and a couple sweaters from my grandparents. I didn't get the "house stuff" like I thought I was going to get though. I got an apron, some wooden utensils, and a salt and pepper grinder. You'd think people would realize I'm graduating in the spring and will be getting my own place so I need stuff and not clothes but oh well.

My drive back yesterday was a pain in the @$$. It took me well over 3 and a half hours to get to Peoria and there were times where going above 40 mph was impossible. Then I hit Peoria and the snow changed to rain and everything was better...not perfect but better. For a while I was watching ice build up on my mirrors and other parts of my car thankfully not my windshield. I made it home I think less than 8 hours but not by too much.

Going to the Rose basketball game tonight after chapter and lamp pass. We're voting in a new Alpha, sounds like well have have a super senior/grad student president....
