So it's been a while since I actually posted. I'd say my life is hectic but whose isn't? In a nutshell I spent the entire summer taking a full load of senior level classes at YCP. The summer semester was brutal. I managed to pass all my classes--in fact, grade wise, it was one of my best semesters--but it took a HUGE amount of time and effort ( Read more... )

I just realized I never updated my journal regarding the final exam in Strength of Materials. I haven't actually seen the exam but the professor told me, rather surprisingly, that I did "extremely well." I actually did well enough to earn a 3.0 for my final grade. As Libby would say, I'm over the moon--and stunned. To recap the semester ( Read more... )

For Mother's day I got termites and carpenter ants!  Yup, it's true.  The exterminator came by Saturday morning to confirm what I already suspected--the termites are back.  There are no signs of termites, except for the one board in my oak floor that they seem to think is caviar.  The board is practically splinters but there aren't any tunnels ( Read more... )

I have a bad cold (has anyone ever had a good cold?) and despite being drugged up I can't sleep.  I've been awake since 1:30 a.m. and finally got up about 3.  I didn't get any real work done because I don't have the mental capacity to actually work on homework.  I did manage to type up my old quizzes from Strength of Materials as a quick review.  I ( Read more... )

Last night I received a form signed by the appropriate people that accomplished three things:
1.  Approved my request to substitute Calculus 3 for YCPs Engineering Math.   
2.  Waived the Engineering Career Training Preparation class.  The class was supposed to teach me how to write a resume and how to dress for an interview.  Good experience for a ( Read more... )

After a very stressful half week of classes I got some good news from my academic advisor today.  Up to this point my advisor has been fairly useless.  Once again the administration decided to rearrange the sequence of classes which meant I didn't have the prerequisites needed for a course only held during the summer and which I need for a course ( Read more... )
