Merry Christmass

Well, it's that time of year for me to wish everyone a merry christmass. I'll have that week off from work in Orlando, so I'll be able to enjoy a little bit of Christmass Vacation... err... ummm... winter break.

Well, I got my grades back for the semester. My C class I got an A, my stats class got a B-, Deferential Equations I got a C in, and in Physics III I got a C as well, which is better than I thought. After I took my DVQ exam, and my physics exam, I thought I horribly failed them both, and for about the week afterwards, I wasn't feeling too perky. What made things even worse was, after the DVQ exam, I grabbed Chinese food, and the fortune cookie I got said "My computer beats me at chess... until I pull the plug". That saying didn't make me feel better... I was orginally happy with the grades I got in those classes, but then I realized that, with more work, or with me actually able to pay attention in those classes, or a combination of the two, I would have easily surpassed those grades. And that revelation put me back down to where I was shortly after I took those tests. Still, at least I won't have to retake either of those courses. I will need to get a few A's in my engineering core courses though, so I can get my GPA in that sector above a 2.5.

Well, Gina's on Winter Break, so that's ok. I took her home from Melbourne, but the only thing she wanted to talk about on the way back was here sorority. It's not that that so much bothers me, but it's more that, there are things about her sorority she won't tell a non-member, and well, I just find it a little disconcerting that she has more of a connection to her sorority than to me, but that may just be selfishness.

My cell phone died yesterday =(. I ended up replacing it today with a different one, but I had to basically spend an entire paycheck to do so. I was planning on using that money to buy christmass presents and to pay down some of my credit card, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen =(. Hopefully I'll be able to use my other paycheck from the station to get what I need. I have 3 people left to buy for. Christine, I only have to pay for her gift, so that won't take too much time. It's my parents that I have no idea on what to do for.

My manager and I moved into a new office at work. I knew we'd be moving eventually, since he has been talking about moving, but I would have like to have spent a little bit more time organizing the move. Now, everything is in a hodgepod mess... though that isn't too much different than how we normally keep things.

I'm going to call it a night, I'm going to be taking my main machine with me when I go back home for christmass break, so hopefully I'll get another post or two before the end of the year. One of these days I'm going to go back and read through my own archives...
