Three weeks late and a dollar short.

Wow, I didn't realise it's been so long since I last posted. Well, fyi, I did graduate :). Dyed my hair and chops pillarbox red for the graduation ceremony. My sister Jessica, mom, dad, g-ma and g-pa were in attendance. They got some pictures with a digital camera that I'll have to upload somewhere for any interested parties.

I tell you, the packing was a real pain in the ass. I still haven't really unpacked and setup my room here at the parents house for the summer. Slowly but surely. I did unpack the x-box though! Finally had some time to get around to playing some of my games for the first time.

Had a graduation party this past weekend (the weekend after I walked). It was nice, I got to see some relatives and friends and have some good food and drink. Plans for the rest of the summer? Still not sure if I'll do any travelling before Chile. Since time is ticking and I don't as yet have plans I probably won't be going anywhere else unfortunately. I am going to the Hootenanny on July 3rd with my buddy Rob though. That should be swell. The Cramps, the Rev., Big Sandy, Hellbound Hayride, aw heck, just check out the website.

Well, I'm gonna go crack a soda, grab a bite to eat, and plop my self in front of ye olde x-box. goodbye.

Well, the weekend is over and it's time to study for my final

Been studying most of the day for my only final, which is tomorrow at 10am. I have a book that I'm about 1/2 way through and a paper to write that is due at the final. The book is entitled "Reshaping World Politics: NGOs, the Internet, and Global Civil Society." It's an ok book, but a little dry to be reading the entire book in one day on minimal sleep. Oh well.

So I figure I'll start packing at a leisurely pace after my final Tomorrow. I've got the rest of the week, so I figure if I take a couple hours per day, I should be done by the weekend. I can't beleive it's over. I know quite a lot of people graduating this year too, and not just within my major. It seems like alot of people were going to graduate unemployed, but I know quite a few people who have just gotten and accepted offers in the last few weeks. Congrats!

Now THIS is a weekend

Sigh... sitting here in the shade on our newly tiled front porch. It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon, I'm drinking a beer and posting to my blog. I'll be heading over to my friend Map's house soon for a bbq, then back home to celebrate the end of the quarter with roommates and friends at the house. I can't wait for this next week to go by so that I can move out of this town and move on. Hopefully I can get the Vespa on the road soon after I move down south. Truthfully though, I should just wait until I get up to Seattle. I really don't have the money to repair it if I'm going to try and do the travelling this summer, which I am of course going to try and do.

No more classes, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks!

Ok, well, I have one more book to read, one more paper to write, and one more final to take. But the no more classes was true! :) I just had the final acceptance test for my senior project yesterday and turned in a draft of the complete paper. 89 pages not including the Appendices for code listings and data base document. I'd like to find out how many lines of code I wrote, I'll probably do a quick search online for a tool that counts lines of code. Let's see how close I can get with a guess. I'll say 3500 lines of code. I'm just talking about my part of the project, not the entire thing. We'll see.

The next week will be spent doing alot of packing and alot of beer drinking. lol WHOOHOO! It's over!
