Whoa, St. Patti's Day!
Ok, so I've forgotten like three times that today is St. Patricks day. That is unusual for me, since I am half irish and I am always looking for a reason to raise a pint of Guinness. Speaking of which, I think I'll go try to convince my roommate to go lift a few pints with me while the night is still young (got plenty of studying to do tomorrow).
Wednesday of Finals week
So I just had my English final. "Shakespeare in Film" is the class. The final was 35 multiple choice on film terms, and specifics of the plays and films, and tragedies in general. The second half was two essays that each ended up being about 3-4 pages each. The class was definitely not as enjoyable as I had hoped.
Well I've got a Senior Project meeting today, and another final on Friday (Biology) and then I'm done for the quarter. We're leaving for mexico at around 7:30pm on Friday. ...um, did I mention I was going to Mexico during spring break? I can't remember and I don't feel like going back to look at an old post, so I'm going to assume the answer is no. So I'm spending most of Spring break in a small Mexican town with my roommates and some friends. The town is named Erendira and is about twice as far as Ensenada past the border, on the Pacific side of Baja. We're staying at a small hostel there in town from Saturday through Thursday. I'm sure it's going to be a blast. I've been there before, but it was only a weekend trip. This time it's close to a week long and there'll be between 4 and 8 of us.
I should work on my Senior Project some during the break so I might see about borrowing a laptop from Poly over the break. If I'm going to be working on it, what better place than on the beautiful Mexican coast sitting around with my friends, cold beer in hand?
Man, I can't beleive it's only like 3 months untill I graduate! I'm getting really excited about my summer travel plans and my move to Seattle to start my new job! I dropped by AAA yesterday and got my passport pictures taken and picked up an application for a passport. I'll drop off the application when I get back from Mexico and should definitely get it back in time for summer. 6 weeks right? I think that's the processing etc. time. I'll check and make sure. If not, then I can always rush it.
Well, I've got to get something to eat and do some work before my Senior Project meeting.
So untill next time kids, <insert pithy comment here>

Procrastination Nation
It's a beautiful day here in sunny San Luis Obispo. Probably about 75 degrees or so. I'm sitting here at a coffee place having a tasty spinach salad and an iced chai. As soon as I finish with it, I think I'll have a pint of Guinness. One of the things I've missed from Austin is coffee places that also serve beer and/or alcohol, so it was nice when this placed opened about a month or so ago.
Oh yeah, I'm also working on completing my journal for my art class while I'm sitting here. Or that's at least what my intentions were when I came down here. I've been here for about an hour and have yet to start working on my journal. In fact writing this entry is just an excuse for me to procrastinate and put off doing my school work.
I definitely have senioritis. I can't wait for Spring break (less than a week away!), and I can't wait for the year to end. I'm definitely looking forward to going to Chile to visit Rebecca. I'm really hoping that I'll be able to make it to Puerto Rico to visit Elfred as well. Oh yeah, and then there's Europe with Sean. Whew! Hectic summer it will be.
Of course I'm looking forward to start working at the end of summer as well. I'm glad that they were willing to work with my start date so that I could do this travelling. It'll be nice to not be a starving student any more! It'll also be nice to get out of SLO and into Seattle. I can't wait. I'm glad that MS is hooking me up with a furnished apartment for a month so that I can take my time to find a place that I really want to live at.
OK, enough of putting off doing my journal. Back to work. ...or something like that
