It’s 4:30 in the afternoon last Thursday.  I’m trying to stay productive for the last half an hour or so of work.  Suddenly the manager, Scott, is on the phone.  “Want to go to Louisville, KY?”–He asks.  I’m a bit surprised.  I had known that one of the higher-up engineers had been planning on going…

My car is once again refusing to start in the cold.  It did this once before Christmas as well and I ascertained that it required a new battery and therefore replaced it.  This seemed to fix the problem and for a month the car worked fine.  Then I went out to start my car to…

Well I’m officially back in the real world.  The past week or so has been outstanding.  Tara and I rode with Isaac and his family out to Salt lake for skiing/snowboarding.  I’ve never rode on that much powder in my life.  It was nuts and friggin hard and also amazing.  Later on in the week,…

The holidays were pretty good for me.  The past week no work has been nice as well.  I can’t say relaxing though–Tara and I have been busy with wedding stuff.  Tomorrow we will probably go register at Target.  Then this thursday we will leave for Salt Lake with Isaac’s family for skiing/snowboarding.  I’m excited for…

I haven’t gotten much sleep that last several nights.  Yet now, having the opportunity to go to bed early to catch up on sleep, I can not sleep.  I get up at 5 tomorrow morning to head to the airport with my family to go to AZ.  The getting up at that hour is not…

I’m officially done.  I just took my one and only final.  I don’t think that it has set it yet–the semester was pretty slow until these last couple weeks.  Next week I will begin a month long hiatus of anything work related.  Monday to Friday is Arizona with the family,  Saturday & Sunday is Christmas…

I have to admit, it still takes me multiple tries to figure out what the hell I’m supposed to click to write a new post on here.  I am officially done with senior design.  After tweaking and tuning until midnight monday night and a capacitor explosion, we got our project working and ready for demonstration…

Thanksgiving break turned out to be pretty decent.  I worked most of the day Wednesday, but that was fine.  Then Tara flew in that night, which of course was the highlight of the day.  We went from the airport to a bar in Benson to meet up with Elizabeth who happened to be visiting from…

There is a week and 2 days until Thanksgiving break.  It seems so short, yet also seems like forever.  Why does it seem like forever?  Because Tara is coming back to visit.  Oh yeah.  The only downside of that is that she’ll probably make me shave the “beard” I’ve been working on.  That’s right, its…

I wish I could write posts more like Amanda.  She always comes up with something quirky (took me 5 tries to get that spelled correctly) to write about.  As for me, I have a hard time deciding what to write about.  Bitching about school every damn post can get old.  Also, it seems like I’m…
