When speaking with my mom the other day, I learned that a good friend of mine, from all the way back in pre-school, is having a baby in October. She was one of those artsy girls, with a good heart. Very friendly, and very eager to be successful. She wasn't exactly born into the richest family (they live in Riverside), but she was probably going to ( Read more... )

1) DWAT events, last Saturday, yesterday, and today. All three had fireworks, with patriotic music. Thinking about going to SPARTAN fireworks (because I'm not from PA) and buying some firecrackers. Ironically, PA residents must buy their firecrackers in NJ, and NJ residents must buy their firecrackers in PA. However, it's only legal to launch them ( Read more... )

1) Drum Corps Craziness- It's finally official: no corps is undefeated. The cavies, initially undefeated since last July 16th, lost to the Blue Devils in a long awaited match up (Blue Devils have not beaten Cavies since then). Not just the Super 7, but all D1 corps have been trading ranks over the past week. Right now it's a 3 pt spread between ( Read more... )

1) Congrats to the Cadets for being the first corps to break the 80 line this season ( Read more... )

1) i'm still not sure if last week was good or bad. I got an 81 and an 84 on my calc and circuits exams that I thought I fucked up. I keep forgetting that most grades are on a curve, which potentially means anything above an 80 could be an A. However, most of us on Co-Op are pretty smart, so I doubt I'm ahead of the curve. Also, I'm not really ( Read more... )

I fucked up another exam today ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure Drum Corps and the Theme Park Sketches are why I'm not up to par. Thankfully, I can control myself with the sketches, but the drum corps is a little out of control. I mean, it's more exciting now that I know a little more about how the corps operates (would like to know more) and how each corps functions. Each one is developing a ( Read more... )
