I’m a little confused about how to make the best use of this real estate.  I’m changing things up over the next week or so.  Not that anyone will notice.  Just thought I’d get the information out of my head and onto my screen.

I’m only a few weeks from graduation and I’m really looking forward to having this part of my life behind me. I know that education doesn’t really stop in my field, but the kind I have to pay for and have scheduled weekly is almost over, and I’m really looking forward to the extra time at home with the family.
I currently have a 3.897 GPA, but after this semester, I’m estimating that I will have 3.867. That does mean that I’ll be graduating with Highest Honors! The ceremony begins at 7:00pm, May 12, 2011 at the Montagne Center. I went to my brother’s graduation this past December, and the ceremony was under an hour, although I’m guessing there’s a higher number of graduates in the Spring than the Fall.

I did actually go through the whole week with only 1 soda, and that was cause after giving blood, the lady handed me one, and I gulped it down before I realized what I was doing. I consider it a success because I wasn’t living my life around getting to the next soda.

The word in the Constitution that nailed down the definition of the Second Amendment is “Individual”.
That’s right, individuals, not just military personnel, have the right to own guns for “personal use”.

This is a big win for our personal freedoms.
Before the ink was dry, Pelosi made a statement that Washington is still going to be able to regulate gun ownership in D.C. It’s amazing how when the Supreme Court rules on something in the socialists fascists leftists favor, they announce that it’s iron-clad, but if the Supreme Court rules in the other direction, the socialists fascists leftists announce that they’re researching ways to get around the ruling.

I was recently presented with this rather amusing story…

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly
discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity.
To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a
decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero
gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass and
at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C.
The Russians used a pencil.
Your taxes are due again – enjoy paying them

I decided to check out snopes to see if they had any information about it… turns out, they do… CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH

I’m nearly done with my 2nd Semester at LIT and again, with a 4.0. It hasn’t been an easy semester, at least nearly as easy as last semester. Having to go to class 4 nights a week and missing my family so much has been hard. Sure, some nights I’d get out early enough to spend some time with them, but then there’s homework.

I had twice as much homework this semester as I did last semester. The tests were much harder too. I have one online class this semester, and I learned much more in this one than I did in the two online classes I had last semester. I still have the final in that class to take before next Monday night.

I get nearly an entire month off before I start Summer I. The schedule is Monday through Thursday from 5-9:45pm. In one sense, I’m not looking forward to it, but I’ve also heard that this particular class never lasts as long as it’s scheduled. I’ve also learned that the teacher is very good at his job. It’ll be nice to get an entire class down in only 5 weeks.

I’ve got a class that has one less night per week for Summer II, and less hours per night as well. That will make a total of 7 hours of class down during the summer.

Next fall, I have three classes that will only be Monday through Wednesday, so I’ll have more time at home than I did this semester. The only problem is, it’ll be the last semester I’ll have that luxury since most of my remaining classes are almost all lab classes, which means two nights each for the remainder of my degree.

The time spent should be worth it in the end, though. I’m happy to have another semester (nearly) under my belt.

This is awesome!
