Things are finally starting to wind down. Only two more days of finals then some other stuff I have to take care of. Ever since I finished my master's project, I have no motivation to work on the other paper I have to work on. All I really want to do is sit on my butt and do nothing.

It is also official that I am the only MEng left without a job offer and it sucks. What is so wrong with me that I haven't been able to find something but everyone else, including the seniors have been able to. I just want a job so at least I won't be poor during the summer as I start to pay off all my loans.

All-American Rejects

So the year is finally ending and I am still without a job. I think I'm the only one left. And I still have my project to finish plus who knows what that I'm forgetting about. So instead of working, I went to the OKGO/All-American Rejects concert - and it was amazing.

The first group was The Whigs and they were okay.

OKGO was alot of fun just listening to the songs.

But I was really waiting for AAR. Though people complain about them, I don't care. I like their music and had fun jumping and dancing around since their songs are just meant for that. It was the break I really needed.

Now I just gotta finish a project for my energy class which I don't know how to accomplish it within a week, a another project paper for another class where I again have no idea where I'm going, and my final mini-thesis paper which would probably be easier if I had time to do it.

Less than two weeks until Slope Day and I can't wait...not so sure about the music there though

Working at the Service Center

I must say that working at the service center in the dorms has its ups and downs.

Ups would have to be the fact that it is a rather lax job and is perfect for the everyday student.

The down can sometimes be the people outside the service center. As I sit here, I can't help but not listen. I guess everyone is just happy about eating because as soon as they stand before entrance, either before or after eating, all they do is talk and I'm pretty sure its not normal talking, but screaming type of talking. Maybe its not them, but the acoustics. Either way, I get a headache after work.

TMNT

My friend and I went to see TMNT on Friday and at first, I wasn't all that excited about it. But I was like why not? It might be okay. I mean, I grew up when the turtles were big and I kinda wanted to see it just for the nostalgic feeling. So we sat through it and I was actually very surprised that it was good. It was funny and it made me remember when I was a kid and it didn't destroy the story of the turtles that we all grew up with. They actually continued the story line and didn't destroy any of the characters we grew to love. If you haven't seen it, I recommend you should.

Get Fuzzy is one of my favorite comics I think. Here's one from today I think some would enjoy.

Snow Day

On Valentine's Day 2007, Cornell officially shutdown at 12:05 and it was amazing! Cornell never has snow days unless its really bad, and boy was it. At least a foot of snow and more onto the next day. Ithaca even notified the town of a city of emergency the night before. It was amazing. And the next day, we had a delay. I loved it!

I went to my first ever Cornell hockey game on Friday - after 5 years of waiting. While there, I was pretty bored for the first third though Cornell led 3 -1. What made things more interesting as the game went on was when players would ram other players against the walls or start fights and just be right down aggressive. That's what hockey's are about because honestly, all that happens is that they go back and forth on the ice like a million times.

What I also realized that us Cornellians are really mean to the other team. We taunght and scream and throw things at the opposing teams. I think that since we are in the middle of nowhere, this is really the only interesting thing. We need to find more interesting things to do... though I will admit, once I understood what people were saying when they taunghted the other team, it was quite fun.
