I Tested the FE Exam
Today I took the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) exam, also known as the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. I must admit that for the first time I took a long test without feeling pressured! Probably because it doesn't really matter if I pass it or not; I was doing it to test my engineering skills.

Decisions, Decisions...
For the past year and a half, or so, I've had a feeling that something critical for my success in creating a good lifestyle was missing. I have a bachelors degree, and soon an associates degree to go along with it, so education is not it. I have plans, dreams, and goals, so that is not it. So what is wrong with me ( Read more... ) -
Visual Internet Radio
I haven't updated this journal in a while because I've been focusing on my other blogs as of late. It is strange having 3 blogs when I theoretically only need one. However, I'm thinking about having two blogs for two seperate purposes. One to handle my personal thoughts about life, and another to act as a professional blog. I'll keep ya'll posted ( Read more... ) -
No More Self-Help!
Last April (2006) I suddenly became addicted to reading self-help articles, mostly on the Internet, but also some books as well.

eHarmony!
I'm sorry about ranting off on stuff that happened over a year ago, but I finally have to get emotions that I have been holding off deep inside me out, for emotional relief (la-dee-da). Plus, I'm bored and have nothing else really to write about, for the time being. I'll write about the vacation I and the 'rents just had last weekend as soon as I ( Read more... ) -
Charm
I ran across an interesting quote today from a person named James M. Barrie. Not sure who he was. Anyway, the quote is this:
"If you have charm, you don't need to have anything else; and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter what else you have."
I guess it wouldn't hurt to learn more about charm. Does my wolf avatar look charming? -
WoW, Chronicles of a Job Hunter
I had been thinking about joining the World of Warcraft craze for the past 3 months. alf_b has told me much about it, and it sounds kinda fun. But there was a lot of internal deliberation as to what kind of character I should play...I gnome? A night elf? A Tauren? A few days ago I finally decided on playing a gnome. And so I eagerly went to the WoW ( Read more... ) -
Window Cleaning
Here's a tip for cleaning the windows of your car. Windex tends to leave streaks behind. Ford's website recommends using a solution that's made specifically for car windows. I tried windshield cleaning fluid, and it seems to work much better than Windex. However, it's good to use either a terry cloth or a microfiber cloth. I'll have to try it next ( Read more... )
