Last semester ended with a lot of work, but most of it paid off. The weekend before finals, I spent studying as much as I could for Chemistry. I made an study guide for myself outlining all the stuff we've learned. It took a lot of time, but the results were great - an A on the final. My other finals were right up there. World Lit, Cos104 and ( Read more... )

It's been for freakin' ever since I last updated. A good month and a half of silence. I've known I need to update for a while and was making notes about what I did, but I lost them. In fact, I lost everything the Monday after fall break when my hard drive crashed. I lost all the work I've done over the last, say, year and a half as well as all ( Read more... )

This weekend I made my first real trip home of the year. Friday night was a normal summer night for my friends and I. I hung out with Adam for a bit when I got home, then Andy showed up and the three of us picked up Nick and Ross and drove out to Adam's house for poker. The game went pretty slow, but eventually it got down to Nick and I, and I ( Read more... )

Last night was another night I was up far too late. I had a good deal of homework and was feeling pretty good about it when I started it at 7. I got most of my COS104 assignment done and then 8 o'clock came around and Smallville sucked me in. One hour lost wasn't a big deal, I still had tons of time. Then I remembered I was supposed to go to ( Read more... )

Yesterday I had my second dental appointment. Once again, I stole Gin's car and headed out right after Spanish class let out. I made it there with time to spare again, but this time ended up waiting around for quite a bit. The whole process didn't take to long - they took off my temps and cemented my permanent crowns on. I assume they did a ( Read more... )

Thursday, most of the campus was already on fall break. Everybody seemed like they had places to go, and unlike last year, I did too. Eight of the Center Foundation boys were going up to Andrew's house in Michigan - Andrew, Scrod, Caleb, Jim, Spencer, Peter, Josef and I. We left right after a very subpar dinner at the DC. Spencer and I slept in ( Read more... )

After having my "temporary" veneers for over 5 years, last night I finally got them off. Right after Spanish got out, I grabbed some CDs and Gin's car keys and hit the road. I had about an hour and a half to make it to Dr. Lehman's office in Carmel. I made it with 15 minutes to spare. This was probably the greatest dental appointment I've ever ( Read more... )

I slept in decently Saturday, which was real nice after having stayed up until 2 each night this week. Around 12, the soccer boys came back and the floor all packed up and headed over to Wendy's. The special from Tuesday night back and it was packed. We waited in line for almost a half-hour before getting to to order. Ben, Gin, Peter and I ( Read more... )

Cos104 is probably my most useless class this semester and gives New Student Orientation a run for Most Useless Class Ever. So far, the only thing I've learned in this class is that email spam got it's name from a Monty Python sketch, which, in and of itself, almost makes spam cool. However, I will admit there was one part of Cos104 I was looking ( Read more... )

There's a big chemistry lab midterm in a few hours that I should be studying for, but I've put it off for this long so what's a few more minutes? Tuesday night was another BW's-less night. I was supposed to go to a study group for this midterm but about an hour before it started, Gin asked if I wanted to hit up Wendy's. They were celebrating 25 ( Read more... )
