So Long...

The last class of my undergraduate collegiate career ended at 12:51 pm EST. Its but another in a series of realizations that my time left at my home of the past 4 years is quite limited.

Finals week. I got one of Friday, a paper due on Tuesday and not one but two finals on the last day of finals (Thursday). Then I plan to go see Spiderman III after partaking of a generous dinner put on by the Biology Dept faculty and then I walk.

As a complete side note, complements to Morgan Brown, a muskie whose self recorded music i acquired through the grapevine and I am quite digging at the moment.

Back to leaving, I moved almost completely out this past weekend, and my room is vacant. Its almost depressing to look at the empty drawers and closet and unburdened tv stand and think that I have lived here for a year, and only for another two weeks. I'd probably feel worse if I was in my old room at sinfo. That was my home for 3 semester, and could have been 5.

I will not miss the classes, but I will miss the people and the places, the professors that care and the friends that were always there, the rooms that i learned in and the places that i lived. College, despite its downs and frustrations, excelled in the goods and greats and life. I think I truly found life here. I look forward to seeing where I go from here and I hope to come back long and often, but if not, I will always have that mark of Black and Magenta on me.

So Long Muskingum, and thanks for all the fish

Sharing is Caring...

Stumbled upon this website and its affiliate while looking for a game to kill some time with (really bad idea, but what can you do?). Giveaway of the day and game giveaway of the day are two websites that all web junkies should look up. These sites provide licensed applications and games for free for a limited 24hr period. They update 7 days a week and if you download and install the software BEFORE the free period runs out, then you get to keep the software forever.

The purpose is to provide an outlet for software makers to perform a litmus as to how the software will be liked. You can visit either site and look at their current offering as well as browse through their past offerings.

Enjoy, and don't waste too much time.

Psychobilly Freakout

No, not the song. Its what i am doing right now. Test and presentation due tomorrow along with a research paper due this Friday (15 page minimum). I loath papers, especially when I think that they are due a week later than they really are.

Only 3 weeks of class left.

Waiting on my application to be accepted or denied.

....

Sometimes I think I am just waiting for something. Who out there has that feeling?

As a side note, I am pumped to see where this new Dimension story line takes in Sluggy Freelance. I am not going to lie, but the story with the Dimension of Pain invasion and Torg's heroic deeds was almost heart wrenching and i was on the edge of my seat when Oasis went mad. IF you have NO CLUE what i am talking about, do I have something for you. Click on "sluggy freelance" to the left here. GO on. Click it. Its a damn fine web comic. Thanks to Dean for telling me about it, even though it took me 2 years to actually get around to reading it ( I read all 10 years of the near daily archives). Read it, its a cut above the rest.

GRE....

EEEAT!!! 560 verbal, 720 quantitative (math). I'll be getting the analytical results back at a later date, but right now i am lookin' silky smooth in the standardized test department. All i can hope for now is that I get accepted to UT for the fall. Its real late, but i still got a shot. FINGERS CROSSED!!
