Turkey.....BREAK!

Well, i'm home now, been delaying this post out of sheer laziness. The quarter ended, and my first expidition into the Rose-Hulman jungle was successful, and I emerged relatively unscathed. The ECE presentation was fairly good, and I felt that the PowerPoint slides that I put together were very professional. The Physics test threw me at first, but I had more than enough time to go back and look through the answers. I ended up completely redoing one problem, and figuring out that I had a cosine where there should only be a sine. My bad.
Then I had two days to recoup (i.e. eat cookies till i burst and not study) and I ended up cramming for the last day and a half for the chem final (which? I don't recall that one, must not be important). Which might have included about an hour of playing frisbee up on the 3rd floor hallway. But shhhh.
Chem final wasn't too bad, 100 question multiple choice. I think i did okay, which is surprising, since i expected to fail the class.

But I didn't fail anything. Final grades:

• College and Life Skills - A
• Physics 111 - A
• ECE 160 - A
• Chemistry 112 - B

I am so happy. And, since I got that B in Chem, I get credit for Chem 2 as well. Which I technically didn't need, but that's one less science elective I have to take senior year.
Wooooot!

So now I'm on Thanksgiving break, with no responsibilities and no homework. Called into the school district, everybody's on vacay, so I don't have to work. I dropped by Gamestop on Friday and grabbed a bunch of cheap games.

• Metroid Prime - $9.99
• Luigi's Mansion - $7.99
• Viewtiful Joe - $2.99
  
• Jak X: Combat Racing - $7.99
• Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - $9.99
• Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow - $4.99

Pretty sweet deals. I also grabbed The Dog Island (Wii) from Best Buy, that's gonna be a bday present for my SA, cuz I know she'll like it (I have to suck up, give me a break).

So I've been chilling here. Gotten some stuff done. Did laundry. Transferred all my files to my home comp. Reformatted my hard drive to NTFS so it'll take files over 4 gig. Then backed up my laptop settings, and partitioned the hard drive so I could dual boot into Ubuntu 8.10. Oh yeah, my disk finally came on last Monday, I was excited. Install was a little shaky at first, but has turned out okay. I actually got the Ubuntu partition to read files off the Windows side, so I don't need to boot into Windows to access my docs. I don't think I'll be using that for awhile.

Been seeing friends a lot. Going to hang with Mera and Nat (hopefully) and Suzy on friday, so I hope that we have fun (screw that, of course we'll have fun). I miss my girls.
Maura is doing okay, she pulled off some good final grades as well. I <3 my fab chica! We were trying to see each other this week, but I don't think this will happen.

I'm really looking forward to seeing my family at Thanksgiving. And the food. Can't forget about that....

Oh, who needs the family, just give me the god-damn food already!!!!
