Going...going...

I cannot quite finish the title of the post...but soon enough I can. I do not know what got into me to take so many classes to finish up early. Yea I do, I was tired of all school and no breaks. Has it been busy? Yes. Has it been hard? At times. Have I got little sleep? About the same, but I'm doing homework instead of gaming. What fun is that?

Things I'm glad for:

• Good friends and family that stand by me in a semester that I have missed 3 birthdays of my dearest friends (I'll be making this up to each of you, you know who you are).
• To have more time with my family and friends.
• A graduation gift (wait how did that get in there?)
• To be able to get up on a Saturday and not think about a 8 hour lab report ahead of me in order to finish and start 6 homework problems that take me 2 hours a piece and then wake up early for a 7:30a class on Monday.
• To work a 40 hour week without leaving for 3 hours a day in the middle of it.
• and many more...

In short. I'm stoked to be nearing completion. I never thought it would come. I was thinking I was going to be a lifer.

My favorite saying as of late, "It is nice to know that the light of the tunnel is actually daylight and not the light of a locomotive coming your direction"

Things I'm looking forward to:

• Friends and Family!
• Hobbies, Gaming (board games, XBox, everything and anything. Ken is already stoked with the announcement of Gears of War 3...April...2011)
• Exercise (I know this is odd, but I'm feeling really fat and lack of time to eat brings really bad habits for early morning classes and late night homework sessions)
• Shooting in the Desert with Quinn! (I think I need a new purchase)
• Riding my dirt bike with my family and Rich!

Thanks again everyone. I'll update you as time comes closer, this semester is nearing completion. I only have a couple more homeworks, quizzes and 2 the first week of May. I do have Senior Design Day on Tuesday, we are still needing to do a couple things, but we will get it running and wrap that project up here soon, hopefully this weekend. I'll post pictures of it once I get it finished. I'll also have pictures of the 'parachair' that I'm working on for Ablepilot.com a non-profit organization for para and quadriplegic's who still want to paraglide.

Love you all and see you soon.

2010!

I can already tell that 2010 is going to be full of surprises and craziness! That is okay, it keeps things interesting. I'm looking forward to starting my Spring 2010 semester, I'm nearing completion and although I will not be graduating this May, I will be graduating next year. Some important things to mention, after this semester, I will have the hardest classes out of the way. I'll have to follow up with a couple technical elective classes, a general education and my last manufacturing class. I'm so excited and very much so looking forward to being done and having that Bachelors.

I would like to take a moment and mention how important life is and how we must cherish those around us. Life can be so short and full of surprises. We must thank those around us and appreciate what they have to offer. I know that I love my friends and family very much and I'm thankful for those around me. You all bring strength and happiness to my life and I hope that I can only bring a fraction of the happiness ya'll do. (little Texan for my friend Larry) But I mean it and I know it is a little mushy, but you know who you are and I'm thankful.

Now lets Rock this 2010! Year 2000 didn't get us and neither will 2010!

Fireworks and the 24th

After the Logan trip we ended up at some friends for some fun and games. While the kids played with fireworks and sparklers (Michelle). I got to play around with some long exposures and some twirling amazing lights.

There are ghosts in my trunk...that sucks, they look mean!
