Dead? Not yet.

Currently listening to: Coheed and Cambria - Mother May I

Wow, I haven't posted in a while. This is becoming a trend. Don't expect much out of me until after Tuesday the 19th (when we ship the robot).

However, in the meantime, I've upgraded my car a tad by putting a 3" Borla exhaust system on and reflashed my ECU (check facebook for graphs) to 315hp. I'm currently dying as I try to finish the robot.

Also, I'm so freakin awesome. But you already knew that.

Nooooo!

So I went to log into facebook as Audrey and found out that the account has been disabled. Apparently when they say "you can't create accounts that are fake names", they really mean that you can't have an awesome car, that you named, and that has become a member of your family and an integral part of your life. Audrey has more friends than some real people do.

And yet, she can't even have a facebook account? This is a sad day for social networking sites...

I would start some sort of "Ban Facebook" movement or something, but I do love the site so dearly.

Book scam!

Currently listening to: The White Stripes - Icky Thump

So I went out to WPI today during lunch to try to sell back my last book. It was $150 new in August, so, I figured that with their typicaly screwage-calculation, I'd get atleast $50, possibly $60+.

The kid tells me that because the class isn't being taught this semester, that he could only offer me $13. I can get $75 at the start of the next semester when it's being offered.
Needless to say, I kept my book.

Back from the dead

Currently listening to: Coheed & Cambria - Gravemakers & Gunslingers

So apparently I gave up on blogging for a while. Whoops.

As for now, I'm smack in the hell that is FIRST build season. We're currently doing mockups and trying to decide how we'll go about designing/building our robot.

In other news, I ended up doing really well on my Materials final a few weeks ago and got an A for the class. With that being my last class, I finished out WPI with a 3.73 GPA, so, that made me happy. I can grab my diploma next month, or, just wait till May and get it at Graduation.

Uhhh

Currently listening to: Soulja Boy - Crank Dat

Um, so, yeah. This song is driving me insane. Or, more specifically, the fact that my middle schoolers are in love with it, keep singing it, and doing the retarded dance while at lego league.

I feel like everytime I hear this song, me gets a little dummer.

Week of funny quotes

Currently listening to: Chamillionaire - Ridin' overseas

This past week was pretty fun. Last friday I went out for food & pool with Stacy and Lindsey, Saturday was Rob's Halloween Party in RI, Wednesday was Jimmy Eat World in Boston at the Orpheum, and last night I went out for some food with Gena. All in all, not too bad.

Along the way, these little comical gems popped up:

1. (While driving down to RI with Amanda and trying to find my camera in the backseat behind me while driving)
Tim: "Oh, I think I found it... nope, that's just my gun" (my toy gun that was part of my costume)

2. (Driving back from the Orpheum)
Tim: "Is this a 45?"
Stacy: "I dunno, but it's definitely not an 80 or whatever we're going!"
Tim: "Uh, we're going 100"

3. (Discussing dating-topics with Gena)
Tim: "People keep warning me not to date two girls in a row with the same name. I'm not worried about it though"
Gena: "Well, the good thing is, if you ever called her the wrong name, she'd never know"

Master of Science in ME - Progress

Currently listening to: Mims - This is why I'm hot

After reading MikeD's last post about his progress in grad school, I threw my progress into a pie chart to get a visual.

This makes me happy. It's a shame though that I'll be starting fresh again at Class #1 come summer time...
