(No Title)
Day-before-the-last-day-of-finals optimism…
Things I’m thankful for at this moment (not a complete list, just a snapshot of my current mindset):
Kristin, for allowing me to wake her up at home this morning to talk about the same grades-and-problem-set crap I’ve been talking about for the entire past school year. And for allowing the now-annual anniversary/birthday postponement.
Kanye West, for making a bunch of awesome songs about drug dealing and hating college. These work very well as morale boosters when looking at maximum shear stresses in torsional helical springs. I want one of those College Drop Out shirts.
Diet Coke, for giving the same caffeine boost (and caffeine-withdrawal headache avoidance) as Coke with no calories.
Neverwinter Nights, for giving me a good potential way to waste my time when all this is over. Shadows of Undrentide is pretty easy at level 17.
Cingular, for giving me unlimited minutes in-network.
Gamble & Gamble, for an inexpensive communications textbook that looks more and more like kindling every day. Can’t wait to get matches and a trashcan… When giving a speech, make sure to get your audience to do the Nazi salute…good idea.
Blogger, for a good way to waste time now, instead of studying for tests I’m already prepared for.
Formula sheets, for taking the sting off of tests over half of a large textbook.
85% cutoffs to make an A in the hard classes, for letting me get 50%’s on some finals without worry.
Spike TV. MXC and Star Trek TNG. No explanation necessary.
Parents, for taking calls like Kristin does all the time.
Maybe more later, maybe not. We’ll see how the welds and springs go.
