natalie’s birthday was yesterday. i took video clips all day long (well, from the time we took out the cake until i went home) and here is the result.
what perfect way to end the week…with rain mixed in with snow. >_>
well, i made it through school. on saturday, december 12, 2009 i graduated college with my b.s. in electrical engineering. whoo!
now i need to get my grad school apps together, study for the gre, and find a job. i did recently find a new apartment so i need to start packing too. i am also still working on my senior design project. i want it to be up and running. i also have a few projects in mind that i would like to work on. those can come at a later date though.
when this is all said and done, or maybe at some point in the meantime i will catch up on my comic books, video games, and tv shows/movies. honestly, i don’t think there will be a point where i will become too bored. i am SO BEHIND on everything. i visited my local comic shop last week and picked up the stack of comics that had been in my pull list for the last 6 weeks. yikes. i missed a lot of good stuff. i’m kind of bummed that straczynski wont be doing thor anymore.
i also decided it was time to finally sit down and watch all of boogiepop phantom. i have had the box set for about 6 years now and have never watched all 12 episodes. it’s time. also, a lot of my books will be going into storage shortly so i thought it necessary to pull out a few and have lying around so i can actually get around to reading them. yeah!
on the videogame front. i recently purchased a wii. so basically i have to catch up on all the good games that came out for it since launch. i have yet ot beat any of the ps3 games i own…and i just bought a few more. i started dragon age: origins on the xbox 360 but had to stop when school started getting intense again, so i do wan to finish that up…and i got an early copy of bayonetta. whoo! and then the slew of psp and ds games that keep coming out. man, oh man.
i should be polishing up my resume but i feel kind of sick and out of it. i should probably go to bed. i think i’ll just read a few comics first. i almost forgot they were sitting in a pile.
one more week. one more week until i graduate. 
instead of studying for my final coming up tomorrow or working on my senior design project, i decided to take a few hours to be domestic. i have a load of laundry going, have a loaf of banana bread baking in the oven, and i just finished up all the dishes.
now i’m slouched over on the couch being snuggled by kitties on both sides and watching grandma got run over by a reindeer. haha.
i’ve been feeling super stressed about the end of graduation. i have a finals to worry about and my senior design project i need to pretty up and do documentation for. i need to study for the GRE, which is coming up on the 28th. i need to find a place to move into by december 29. i need to find a job. ugh.
well, better get my stuff together and pull the bread out of the oven.
there is an awful lot of snow outside…
the more i sleep the worse i feel. i don’t understand. i took the entire weekend off of school and did nothing but sleep, eat, and play resident evil 5. come monday, i felt AWFUL. so i took monday off too. (i finished RE5 btw) i couldn’t take tuesday off because i had a quiz. then the rest of the week was spent catching up on assignments i should have done over the weekend. eep!
well, now it is friday and while i feel much better than i did on monday, i’m still not 100%. stupid friday evening class. ugh. 6-9 pm. UGH.
i should probably go shower and eat and do some homework.
(and it being the weekend) is having an excuse to not do anything productive. this morning i went and took the practice gre exam and completely bombed. stupid me didn’t have any breakfast, just coffee. the only food i brought with me was a banana, and that sure as hell wasn’t enough to get me through until well past noon. needless to say, throughout the test i got shaky and fuzzy headed and slightly sick. :\
after the practice gre, went out to the ramen shop and inhaled a bowl of kimchee ramen and some delicious gyoza. it had been too long since visiting the ramen shop. after ramen came tokyo! on blu-ray and some much needed ginger/lemon/honey infusion for my throat. all in all, i have to say tokyo! was…ok. the second film just about ruined it for me. all the dialogue in the language nobody understood without subtitles….wtf. seriously, wtf. it was many many minutes of painful sitting.
so after movie, i took a nap. woke up and ate more noodles…took a shower…and then i thought i would watch another movie, and then decided against it. thought i would catch up on season 3 of 30 rock…but then thought perhaps i would like to finish reading the first wreauththu book but then got sidetracked by the internet.
while on the internet i came to realize scribblenauts had been leaked onto the interwebs. my god…the game is great. the tutorial was kind of slow and long and i thought the rest of the game would follow in the same fashion. boy was i wrong. this game is FUN. FUUUUUUN. and i made a cthulhu! only it attacked me and i died, so i ended up riding a unicorn instead.
sick again. :\ chest cold? not sure.
slept in until 1 p.m. today after going to bed at 1 a.m. head hurts…not sure if this is because of lack of water, too much sleeping, or being sick. perhaps a combination of all 3? yeah.
have feedback class from 6 – 9 tonight. sucks. i want to go back to bed.
well, it’s 1 am and i am up again. super tired, but cant sleep. booo. tomorrow is a day full of errands, hospital, homework, and a class. class from 6-9! should be interesting.
i learned that we have a new computer lab policy. students are only allowed to print 10 pages a day. wtf? some of the articles and documents and notes we need to print out are 40 pages long, easy. i had lab write-ups that were longer than 10 pages. it makes me a little bitter and angry about my exponentially increasing lab fees. like 300 – 800 in a span of a couple of years increasing. fucking lame.
gearing up and looking forward to a D&D 4.0 campaign with a bunch of mo’s. which should also be pretty interesting.
i guess i’ll listen to a robot podcast or two and hopefully pass out.
