Faith, you're driving me away; you do it everyday. You don't mean it, but it hurts like hell. My brain says im receiving pain; a lack of oxygen from my life support, my iron lung. We're too young to fall asleep; too cynical to speak. We are loosing it, can't you tell? We scratch our eternal itch, our twentieth century bitch, and we are grateful for our iron lung. The head shrinkers, they want everything. My uncle Bill... My Belisha beacon... Suck, suck your teenage thumb; toilet trained and dumb. When the power runs out, we'll just humm. This, this is our new song. Just like the last one, a total waste of time: my iron lung. And if you're frightened, you can be frightened, you can be. It's OK.

Well classes are over (officially, not technically as a professor of mine moved a class to tonight because he was out of town) and all that's left are a few finals.

I have the housing all set and settled for this summer, so if you want my address/phone there, just send me an e-mail or a messge through my comments and I'll let you have it. I'll be there starting in a little over a week.

My ece249 project worked perfectly to our spec (yay) so we should do well on that, and I'll prolly have an A in that class. There were a number of things that I had fixed in it over last weekend without actually testing any of it on the board. Including a couple changes I call "duct tape" fixes, or work-arounds. When I got to the lab to do the demoing, one of the work-arounds I applied, and another problem that made no sense and I had grown content to live with appeared to have fixed themselves through my other changes or an act of god or something. So it took some time to remove the duct tape so-to-speak, but then it worked fine.

Our TAs and neighboring classmates got into a bit of a heated competition over the high score on our game. The record is (and forever will be as the game is now disassembled) held by yours truly at a whopping 254/300. Once again prooving that I am, in fact, the greatest person alive.

I've been doing everything but study today (I mean c'mon, I'm even writing an entry, how often does that happen anymore?) Including getting delicious breakfast at Merry Ann's, Taking my drug screening test for the big M, and making sure to download all the homework solutions off of the spring course websites for classes that I will be taking next semester. (good thinking Hans :P)

Well, I should get going I suppose. Three of my classes are 40%, 40%, and 35% unaccounted for grade-wise at the moment, so I should tend to that matter. I will now leave you to the re-runs.
