I admit that I have been negligent in posting for something like the past month, and for that, I don't apologize because sometimes life gets in the way. Anyway, I am now typing words into a computer, which will get sent between servers hundreds of miles away and back to be eventually be accessed by you all just to tell you that I am alive and well (more or less) and that I am still capable of writing a half decent blog post.
They say that going on the Internet with the intent to post stuff while angry or stressed is the equivalent to going to the grocery store hungry - you tend to overindulge and do things you didn't mean to do and immediately regret.
I have been inundated with stuff I've had to do, from homework, to unending midterms, to making sure that my hall council has enough money to last through the end of the year, all while trying to remember to getting a decent nights sleep and after suffering a surprisingly painful scooter accident that left me with huge purple bruises on my arms for the past few weeks. (They're gone now).
So what have I been up to?
Lots of homework - the two classes that I have that give the most homework seem to have conspired to align their due dates so that it's never ending - as soon as one assignment gets done, it's time to break my brain over the next one. On the other hand, I could tell you the difference between energy, entropy and exergy, so I got that going for me.
Lots of tests - pretty much very class is looking to get that last exam/quiz/test in before finals start, so I spend a lot of time that I am not doing homework locked in a closet with Elementary Electrical Engineering or Khan Academy.
Big final events for clubs -
For Rube Goldberg - We had a great time showing off the machine at the Arizona Science Center despite some mishaps along the way. This coming weekend we're going to Vegas to show off the machine at the Las Vegas Science and Technology festival. Oh, and the machine now actually makes coffee, so that's pretty cool.
For hall council, we had to put on a big end of the year program, so I got to deal blackjack at a casino/dance type event. By virtue of being treasurer, that also means I had to get on everyone about receipts.
And also - trying to maintain friendships and eventually sleep and run every once in a while.
In other news, I'm next year's treasurer for Rube Goldberg club.
In two and a half weeks, I will be halfway done with college (hopefully). Finals are coming up, and summer will come. The anticipation and the stress are palpable all across campus.
Wish me luck!
