Alright, I'm going to actually update now that I know when the last time I did this was. If you don't want to read A LOT, I would suggest completely skipping reading this and just saying Welcome back Rain! in the comments right now....
.......
Alrighty then.
So, first I'll start with my exams. I told you about the first two. Then right after I wrote that I found out the other exam was the next week...and I already had one on that monday too. So it was study study study most of the time I wasn't doing homework or regaining my sanity. At least, thats what I was doing during the weekdays.
That weekend I was with Cheryl, Dennis, and Mark and I got to eat Hickory park. It was rather yummy! Mark needs to have a birthday more often...as long as I don't have to buy a present...
Then that week was the start of exams and project EXPLOSION. I had two exams and two projects that I had to start and finish that were really large. One was having to create a 32-bit Microprocessor and the other was making all four types of amplifiers work to create over 100 voltage amplified. Needless to say it took forever and add to that the fact that I also had two homework assignments to hand in, it was a nightmare of a week...did I mention that the career fair was also that week?
Oh the career fair. Basically, a bunch of companies come to the university, take your resume from you and you have a mini interview surrounded by thousands of people also trying to get that internship or job. Its very nerve wracking and I completely struck out with amazon...I had messed up one of the questions...its okay though, because I didn't want to work for them anyway. I was just there to see what they wanted and I can definitely say neither of us wanted each other. I did really really really like this company called Logic PD though. They want their intern to work with Robotics and embedded systems and thats right up my alley! AND apparently I was the first to say I wanted to do that! So I have a really good feeling about this one! I really need an internship this summer. If I don't get one, I'm afraid of being unemployed...its a scary thing to think about with all my student loans looming over my head...
So eventually the hectic week kindled out and I handed in the last piece that was important at five today. It was like a sigh of relief! Now I can relax and work on my Microprocessors ALU in piece and not be so stressed about everything. Of course I still have a quiz tomorrow, but as long as I do the practice problems tonight I should be perfectly fine. Although I did miss a pop quiz this morning because I was doing my homework and skipped my first lecture this morning...darn...and I'm not doing as well in that class as I would like to...
My friends decided last week that they had to start fighting with each other and getting me and my roommate in the middle of it. So I also had to deal with that. Its more sad than aggrivating though, because they used to be best friends before this huge fight. We even needed to make a contract for both of them to follow so that things could get better. It doesn't help that one of them just switched her depression medication and is on a new birth control, and the other one just got a new boyfriend and is in a long distance relationship with said boy. I just want to be left alone now, and not worry about "girl problems." My roommate is better at it anyway.
So ya. If you read this far, you get a present! Congradulations! So, I'm going to go do my practice problems now. I wanna take a shower and go to bed early tonight! It'll be a great night if I could! I'm getting excited just thinking about it!
