Shit, finals are approaching. I took one today, but it will pale in comparison to the other two. I find myself quite apprehensive about the post-finals time. I have been told that I will apparently work my ass off for the month of May, which is mostly the time between the spring and summer semesters. There goes my fucking breather. Couple that ( Read more... )

Well, it's official...I got a letter from the Alabama Space Grant Consortium verifying that I received the NASA grant. I sorta can hardly believe it. Things are gonna be a little hectic with work, but they're giving me $24,000 to do a year of research for them. This pretty much also guarantees that I'll have a job waiting on me when I get ( Read more... )

Well, everyone, The Bucket is officially dead. I went ten years and almost 150,000 miles with her, but she's losing compression in the number two cylinder. That'll be about $2000 to fix, so I am now going to be looking for a new car once the semester ends. Any suggestions ( Read more... )

Shit, it's hard keeping this thing updated as busy as I've been. Seems my weekends have been filled with work, community service, or getting my car fixed. I can't even seem to keep in touch with the people I like to keep in touch with. It's a bit frustrating, not really having that much control over your own life. I guess that's the trade-off ( Read more... )

*whew* I finally finished my research proposal. I fell like I've written it like thirty times. After going over it again and again, I finally decided that what I had was what I was gonna submit. So, I'll have to wait three to four weeks before I know if NASA's accepted it. If so, it's off to Huntsville to meet my sponsor, Dr. Michael Watson. ( Read more... )

Man, have I been busy. I've been working my ass off the last week and a half or so. Gave a presentation on Wednesday that should back the boss off for a while. Maybe a week or so. I really need some down time. I really want to take a break for a few days. Too much work, still. Arrgghhh. This is really affecting my life. I will NOT become ( Read more... )

but women are fucking crazy sometimes.
What aggravating yet wonderful creatures they are.
:)
Such is a man's dilemma.

Wow, how the days pass when you're busy. Took the GRE again yesterday in an attempt to raise my score for this fellowship I'm applying for. These people were nazis! The first time I took it was on paper. Because of time constraints, I did this one on the computer. I had to remove everything from my pockets, and I pretty much couldn't leave ( Read more... )

Well, I wasted away another weekend. Had a bunch to do, didn't get that much done. Mr. Griggs came by last night to set security for the wireless network jizzmatic2000 and I have going. We are now WEP'd out and ready to worry less about moochers getting into our shit. While he was at it, he showed us how to do port forwarding for the router. I had a ( Read more... )

Fifty fucking dollars down the drain. I ordered the wrong fucking textbook from Amazon. When I did a search for the SPECIFIC book I needed, it apparently gave me a result which included other editions, including a very early one that doesn't include the secondary author. I didn't pay close attention because I figured, "hey, these should all be ( Read more... )
