Summer, here I come

Well. It’s here. Officially. I can’t believe it’s been a year since last summer, where I was basically working full-time on solar. Feels like all of it happened yesterday.

Either way, exams are finally done. Speaking of which, the exam I thought I had tomorrow was apparently yesterday. So I come home from the 324 exam in the morning and guess what I find out? My 446 exam is the same day… After about half an hour of studying, and barely staying awake during my second exam of the day after about 2 days of not sleeping much, I am done.

And summer brings good things. First, I have a job! Even better, 2 jobs! I will be working at my dad’s workplace over the summer. $10/hour isn’t a great rate but they are a big corp. company so it shall look good on me resume (hopefully). The second job will be partime-ish with MCPS. They pay me a lot more ($25/hour :D) and I actually like what I do there, so my evenings shall be dedicated to them. It might kind of busy but atleast these things will have set time-limits per day. So after 8 hours per day, I am done with ACS and I can go back home, no questions asked. And after working for 4-5 hours for MCPS in the evening (I can work from home) I can stop and do something else. No more continuing things into the late nights on hairy schedules! :D
Over the next month or so, I shall also be working/finishing up the Coil Guitars website along with my own. And perhaps work on some of my programming projects.

Oh, and Kosta shall be visiting! And we might be able to bug sari in NYC! w00t.

Should be a fun summer (finally) :)

Engineering Probability = Blehness all over

Seriously hate this class… But on the bright side, the final exam is two days from now. On the not so bright side, there is a chance I might not pass… REALLY REALLY hope that wont happen. Don’t even care about a grade in the class right now… just wanna pass the course and get done with it.

Was watching Ghost In The Shell - 2nd Gig again a little while ago - awesomeness. The Major is actually wearing clothes this time around. She’s actually a lot more attractive when shes fully clothed in her suit for whatever reason. I guess she just looks a little weird in her “fancy” suits from episode one. They also show a lot more of the emotional side of things… even for the Major… Need to finish re-watching it after the exams…

Wordpress 2.5.2!

Upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.5.2… It’s … different. In a very good way. Wordpress finally feels a lot faster.

But that’s really not as important as…

I am sorry. What did you say? I couldn’t hear you over the FREAKING AWESOMENESS of this movie. Why is it so awesome? Look at the picture… It’s a guy in a robotic suit. It’s got glowing eyes. The dude has a freaking ball of energy in HIS CHEST. What… can not be awesome about this?

And honestly, there wasn’t anything bad with the movie. Yes, a bunch of it is very hard to believe in the real world… but it’s a marvel comic - it’s supposed to be fantastic. Throw into the mix Robert Downey Jr. and you now have an awesome comic flick. Not good enough for ya? How about if they throw in Gwyneth Paltrow? Sounding better? Well it should. She looks … well … as good as she usually does. Definitely recommended.

Yesterday was awesome for several other reasons. One, I finally got a haircut… lost about 2 pounds… it was a lot of hair. Second, Team Fortress Free Weekend! Anyone who’s wanted to try the game out can try it out on Steam for free for the weekend (till tomorrow afternoon or something). And I have to say, it’s a lot of fun. There is not one class that stands out… they are all loads of fun to play. It’s a you-die-you-respawn kinda game so it never really gets that stressful. You are mostly just goofing around.

This weekend ended being a little pocket of free time for me so I will probably work my ass off on the guitar website and perhaps work on my own website in little chunks.

Me want. Well… they can shove the blaster up their asses (actually, it looks kind of … wrong). The actual toy looks awesome though… mmmm.
