The Next Weekend

So I'm back. I don't know if anoyone out there is reading, but I'm back. Back to Athens and since dork over there has been writing in her diary for a half hour, I figured I would join the fun :-) Of course she put up some cute pictures...except the ones of senior prom. It's ok because I could have been there, but I spitefully got another date and I have an albumful of senior prom pictures back in my house somewhere. Oh well...the days before I realized what I had. Well you may not be able to tell, but I am in a pretty chipper mood.
So I survived the hell week. Here's how it all went down. So I told myself to get over being pissed at school work and professors, and just put up with it like always. Monday and Tuesday were long days, but I got all the HW and lab reports done. Wednesday was also busy as I had to lead my first small group for Chi Alpha. Ken was out of town due to a death in his family. Anyways, I lead the matter on The Lord's Prayer (so easy you could spend a month-long set of sermons on it alone, but I just linked it to prayer in over an hour of discussion) and a follow up on purity. Heh, me leading a discussion on purity. Almost as funny as me leading the prayer discussion into spirit-filled prayer territory. Or leading a small group funny. But it was a good time and we went out for smoothies afterwards. We'e going to start a revolution...either Ken takes us out for smoothies or we revolt and I become leader. OK just kidding but we were talking about laying the ultimatum down for him...just to give him a hard time.
Just over 7 hours later...an a little bit of sleep...I taught a 2 hour class at 7:30 in the morning on electrical systems of nuclear power plants. Hajek (the prof) did not correct me but twice I think and added to the discussion a few times but it was ok. He said I set a pretty good precedent for the others in the class to follow since everyone else has to teach on another topic through the rest of the quarter. It was worth 30 percent of my grade, but the prof seemed to like what I did...hopefully an A/B. I would be ok getting a B in his class as it is very hard but very interesting. senioritis has definitely set in...as my grades will not affect my law school entry anymore. So that's a good thing. But I survived the week, and next week should not be as bad. Over the weekend I have to grade a HW and a quiz for work, but I get paid for that. I also need to find time to research this weekend since our midterm report is due Monday with an oral presentation on our senior design project. Yuck...our crane has so many problems it hurts. It is like the professor gave us very hard specs to meet on purpose to challenge us. Well we are officially challenged lol. Of course I don't really care...but I have to do my part or else John Samples (our third teammate) will shaft me in team evaluations. I don't think he respects the work I do like all the bullshit reporting. I'm writing over half the report which is what I have always done on these engineering projects. I'll put in a fair share of the work, but my strength is writing technical reports so I put a lot of effort into those tasks and menial tasks like the patent search and code and regulations search we have to do. Oh well I would rather have him because he is a good guy and he cares about these projects.
So life is good overall. I'm in Athens like I said and that makes all things better. Especially considering I had to miss the trip to Grand Prix Boston because of earlier mentioned midterm report. If you want to follow the guys, their names are Wood, Steele, Schoeppner, Lapille, and Prochak and the coverage is on the magicthegathering.com webpage all weekend. Prochak and Shep are borrowing my favorite two decks, so I hope they do well. I actually listened to the Ludacris song with the video where he has popeye arms today. I love that background music...it actually gets me bumpin. Metallica is still better, but I gotta have my occassional rap song. So I think I'm going to wrap it up here. Have a good weekend everyone. I get to see the OU hockey game tomorrow night and then go home for the Super Bowl. Then back up to Columbus for the new week. I'm thirsty so I'm going to go have a drink. Of Water you dirty minds :-)
