well, it’s been over half a year since my last post. seems to be the trend. however, i have been very busy lately. so much has changed in my life over the past few weeks. i’m quickly approaching the final days of my student career as graduation is less than a month away. i’ve already accepted an engineering position at echostar. for those not in the know, that is the parent company of dish network. it feels good to be employed.
and finally, and most importantly, mandy and i have made it official. they say seven is the perfect number, so i guess that would make 7/7/07 the perfect day. i’m not sure how yours was, but it was indeed the perfect day for me. the day started with a picnic to piedmont park. even though the weather was threatening, we were able to finish our picnic and then journey over to atlanta botanical gardens. after visiting practically all they had to offer, we found ourselves in a nice secluded spot in the middle of the woodland shade garden. it was there, surrounded by beauty, that i slid the ring onto her finger (on one knee, of course). it really was the perfect day.
you know it’s been too long when you forget your password to your own website. much has happened in the big blank spot since my last posting. i’m currently in the middle of finals week, otherwise known as hell on earth. not really sure why i choose this particular time to start posting again, guess i just needed something else to keep me from studying. i’ll be so glad when friday evening rolls around and i can close the book on yet another semester. in other news, i’ll be moving back on campus the first week of january. sixth street east, to be exact. it’s not my first choice of living arrangements, but it’ll do for my last couple semesters. most importantly, yesterday was mandy and my 9th montiversary. hard to believe how time flies, especially when you are enjoying it. seems it’s about time to start planning for the big 1 year.
so it’s been quite some time since my last post, mainly because school really sucks. it’s not so much that i spend all my time doing school work, but the stress of knowing that i should be is quite draining. other than that, life is good. mandy and i went to see the fireworks at the mall of georgia last night. the show was mediocre, but the company more than made up for it. being with her makes normally anguishing events (such as being stuck in traffic for over an hour after the fireworks) actually enjoyable.
in other news, i finally got my ota hdtv working today. yes, it is everything they say it is and more. i highly recommend it.
i finally setup a tri-boot on my laptop. i have succesfully installed (ordered from greatest to crappiest) Ubuntu Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows XP, all living in perfect harmony. my geekness has been confirmed yet again. admit it, you’re jealous.
i am now officially back in class which means i will be hating my life once again. this semester marks the first of a 3 semester long marathon of straight classes. all i can say is it’s gonna suck. the only good side is the light at the end of the tunnel (a.k.a. graduation (a.k.a. getting a job (a.k.a. $$$))). if what i hear is true, and the more you hate your life while you are in school, the more you’ll enjoy it afterwards, then i have quite a bit to look forward too. anyway, gotta run or i’ll be late to class.
so i just realized i’ve spend the past day or two working on this site without adding any real content to it, so here we go. next week marks my last week as a co-op at inpo. it’s both good and bad in a way. i really enjoyed my time there and am sad to have to go (even sadder to see the paychecks go). the good news is that it means i am that much closer to graduating. 4 more semesters of classes and i’m out!
after 2 days of intense wordpress tweaking, our new blog is finally usuable. i think it’s turned out quite nicely, although there is still quite a bit i’d like to do. if you are reading this (and i assume you are), please feel free to register and comment on anything you see here.
